“What we’re saying is, ‘Let’s take control’”
It shouldn’t surprise me, but it does, that there’s so many cannabis proponents that want to go the route of massive governmental regulation and control, rather than just decriminalizing it, or going the route CA and NV did by simply allowing adults to grow a certain quantity of plants and have up to a certain amount of the weed on their person. Many of these same proponents WANT to settle for less freedom and more new taxes.
The policy of "you may legally sell, buy, or possess marijuana, but only under the following conditions" is be definition MORE free than "you may legally sell, buy, or possess marijuana NEVER."
and more new taxes.
Jail is the ultimate tax.
