I live in Washington State and am wondering why having more pot available to people is a good thing? I voted against it for that very reason.
Those in your government don’t care whether there is more pot or not. There priorities are first raising revenue by taxing pot smokers and second reducing the number of non-violent offenders in their jails.
Not a pot smoker myself but I can understand the point. Jailing pot smokers makes little sense unless they are driving under the influence.
But somebody that wants to sit at home listening to Pink Floyd while eating pizza and smoking pot does not present a danger to the public worthy of imprisonment.
If they can reduce taxation on booze by taxing pot and keep more violent criminals in jail longer by not sending pot smokers to jail they got my vote.
