Also, they slipped in a last minute change that says you have to have been a farmer for 15 years to get a cultivation license. The speculation was there was some established agriculture influencers who wanted to limit competition. That's bad for pricing and innovation but it means it has a better chance to pass if the gold old boy network is starting to manipulate it to line their pockets.
I think this is one big reason it hasn't passed in recent previous years. They all need to let their buddies get everything lined up so once it does pass, they're all already 3 steps ahead of everyone else in the process.

Which if we're being honest, just means selling out to an out of state organization already in the business. Florida started off with 8 or 10 state endorsed cartels, most were sold off for 8 figures.

They don’t care about logic in here. Just spelling.

I hope medical marijuana comes to fruition fast. I'm not sure how I feel about full legalization. I spoke with an officer that works for a mid sized department in CO. He said they are overwhelmed in some areas crime wise. Especially DUIs. Thefts have skyrocketed. Dispensery law enforcement and checking amounts for what they have logged they have sold. I mean police departments will have to expand more and most are already on shoe string budgets. I have no verification at all just going by what he stated.
I find it hard to believe that there won't be any repercussions from full legalization. I dunno all the pros and cons.

I'm afraid that law enforcement will be left out to dry to get properly funded to support it while other areas rake in the revenue. But that's not an uncommon problem at all. Just hope if it comes to legalization that it is earmarked appropriately so that it can be enforced adequately
One glaring thing that I noticed about Washington state when I was out there for a week was that I hardly saw any cops at all. Especially compared to Alabama. It's night and day.
Can you guess which state has a significantly higher crime rate?

I’m the man. I’m so bad, I should be in detention.

Hate to break it you, you're not very good at either.

That's pretty interesting. Alabama has 11,631 officers, Washington has 11,411.
But, Alabama has 4.8 million residents where Washington has. 7.5 million.

Seems like 'bama is bigger on big gov't than we thought.

I'd be fine with medical and de-criminalization of small amounts. It's ridiculous to send someone to prison for an ounce of personal use marijuana.
State rights are so arbitrary. We have 11 states including Washington DC that sell recreational weed. What kind of social signal is that? Whether the topic is guns, the wacky weed, alcohol, gambling, the death penalty, prostitution, etc, there's not much good that has ever come from sending out different standards, based on State borders. The "United" States of America has always been such a paradox.
