“Maybe the politicians have more sense than their constituents.”
Oh brother. Never thought I’d read that here.
Advocates, like yourself, either disregard the social costs of this or don't care.
It is too soon for the social cost to become apparent, except for the convulsive vomiting that is being treated at the ER's. And the people who are being treated can't pay for the visits themselves, so the costs are transferred to the payers and insurance cos.
If one observes the people who frequent the pot retailers, one questions if they can really afford the habit.
