I used to be deadset against any form of legalization, but I’ve changed. In view of gangs and criminals surrounding this substance, legalizing some aspects of use may be the only way to reduce the value of black markets for it.

I applaud your willingness to learn from accumulated facts - a quintessentially conservative trait, IMO. But legalizing use, although the liberty-respecting thing to do, will do nothing to reduce the value of black markets. Only legalizing sale (and keeping sales taxes non-extreme) will have that effect, as consumers turn away from the criminal market to the legal market.

I looked at the legal weed prices. $80 for a quarter ounce. I say no more.
