As a medical user in a recreationally legal state (Colorado), I strongly support this move. I don't use it recreationally- I use topicals that are not psycho active- but still believe we need to legalize it so we can control / regulate it. In CO, there is still a small black market but most of the industry was taken away from the gangs/ cartels.

Having it regulated/ taxed by the government would be a much better way to deal with a substance that is present anyway. There is no reason to waste law enforcement resources / man hours chasing around after a few weed smokers.

We also have fewer opioid overdoses in CO as a result of legal weed. If people can use CBD/ weed/ THC instead of narcotics, we will all be better off as a society.

I saw firsthand the difference it made for someone I loved who was dying of cancer. I am all for it, but Texas has yet to legalize it.

I think you’re talking to the wrong crowd here. They never blame the gun for murdering thugs but look how fast they jump on a relatively harmless drug. They sound like liberals “help us Big Government” to save us from this evil. It should be lock up any criminal who just happens to be using pot when they are committing a crime and then wants to blame the drug instead of the choices they made.
