Your same predictions were made about 10 years when Colorado legalized pot with the MM program, bringing growers out of the woodwork and increasing the availability and use of pot around the state.
The predictions haven’t come true, yet. We shall see what happens next.
Montana and WA were both sold a bill of goods with MM. I voted for it out of compassion—it seemed like a no brainer. What a joke. They should have just gone for the whole enchilada then, and been honest.
Why couldn’t people just get it from a pharmacy with a prescription? Why did all these trashy little eyesore shops have to spring up? In Seattle you notice that they aren’t on “Pill Hill” and other neighborhoods with lots of medical facilities, old a d disabled people, etc. No, they’re in the low income, highly transient( read University) nightlife neighborhoods. Huh.
How many states have MM anyway? My recommendation is to keep your bullshit detectors turned on when its proposed in your state.
