Well, THAT will help make the state more competitive for business.

The ONLY reason for legalizing it is to tax it. And my money is that it will be so expensive that it will have zero impact on the illegal trade. Might even increase it.

What is it with these governors wanting to legalize marijuana? Are they so hungry for tax dollars to squander (I notice it’s the more lib states wanting to do this) that they don’t care how the public will be endangered by drivers who are higher than a kite driving while under the influence and smashing into innocent peoples’ vehicles?

Anyone else suddenly come to the grim conclusion that cities and states run by Democrats are ignoring basic government needs and services?

This idiot Rat billionaire Governor (Funny how billionaire leftists don't get the same ire as Republican ones) isn't even tackling the budget or IL pension bombshell. All these Democrats are doing now is virtue-signaling, just kicking the can down the road until a Rat President happens so they can get a bail-out and start the process all over again.

The leftist theory is that if you have enough irresponsible and dependent to vote for you, then you have political power. But, if it works then society collapses so these politicians can be swarmed by the criminals.

Shiny object for the masses to swim after while the state swirls down the bowl. And, still illegal under federal law. Wouldn’t it be funny to watch all these people who set up their giant distribution centers, only to watch the feds drop by and confiscate all their pot and assets?

Meanwhile Colorado reports quite honestly that DUI for marijuana is on a big increase there. There was/is apparently more pot heads than casual users than everyone thought, or the number of pot heads increased as casual use became legal. I suspect it was the latter.

More potheads. More people dependent on gov’t services as they will not be able to hold a steady job.
