What about the rights of states that do not want marijuana to be legal? Unfortunately, marijuana grown in a state that makes it broadly legal to grow and use does not stay in that state but gets trafficked to states where it is illegal and highly profitable.

The best but wholly unsatisfying compromise is to restrict the growing of and access to recreational marijuana where it is legal so as to inhibit large scale, unregulated grow operations that are conducive to illegal trafficking. Or, one can imagine a comprehensively regulated marijuana industry with the growing and sale of marijuana otherwise illegal.

If one thinks the issues through, schemes of partial and patchwork legalization for marijuana require more not less regulation and policing if they are to have a hope of working as claimed. One gets the sense that many advocates of such measures realize this and expect them to prove so expensive and problematic as to be little more than halfway measures toward full legalization.

“What about the rights of states that do not want marijuana to be legal?”

They have the right per the Constitution to not allow legal use of cannabis. They do not have the right to dictate to a neighboring state what they should or should not allow.

Authoritarianism is evil. Nanny state BS is evil. I have nothing further to say to anyone who promotes either.

Stay the hell away from Florida. We don’t need your kind of evil. Voters decided to make medical cannabis available & NONE of the “weed is evil” predictions have come to pass. Leave me, mine & my state alone!
