Is there anything the government can’t ruin? Sheesh. It’s enough to make you give up smoking weed. At least when it was illegal it had it’s rewards. Now a good six pack buzz and a joint on your front porch feeds the beast. Argh........
But, now that it is legal, will there be even one less job in law enforcement?
Freedom shrinks in proportion to government expansion.
Legal dope is just what California needs because the state isn’t already insane enough.

Looks like we’ll be seeing some truly interesting times. Enjoy that fast food. No telling what’s in it.
Land of fruits, nuts,& wacky weed ..
This does not create jobs. Manufacturing and agriculture create jobs by producing goods that other people willingly pay for.
Yeah, interestingly enough there are people on FR that will argue that a government job adds to the economy.
This pot thing cannot end well. This should be obvious. The Land of Stoners...whodathunkit!
