But will such studies stop the spread of marijuana legalization? I understand more and more states are considering voting to allow recreational marijuana.
The way the country has changed and attitudes about drug use have changed, I wouldn’t be surprised if more states legalize marijuana.
It’s ultimately impossible to stop self destruction through legislation. A good portion of the national debt could be attributed to our attempts to do that. The best we can do is let people do what they want, as long as they don’t hurt another person, and let them police themselves.
The Vermont Senate voted to legalize recreational mj and the gov said he will sign the bill if it passes the House.
CA is leaning toward full legalization by referendum this November.
I wonder if the study looks for the impact of criminalization on income. Criminal records are detrimental to building a career.
