“..The correlation between pot and crime has been well-documented since the 1930s, and it’s only getting worse....”
Yep. It’s also considered a “gateway drug” to harder stuff by many folks.
In addition to the crime increase, it also takes its toll on the general workforce. Getting reliable people that will come to work on time and stay focused on what their job is becomes more difficult where this stuff is legalized. There’s always additional “unintended consequences” to this kind of BS, but a RAT just doesn’t get it or even care.
