#1 ...And I'll bet ya dollars to doobies that the nice people in Evanston have already assumed that money will be there and made plans accordingly, only to be gobsmacked when it doesn't show up.

#4 So the move for legalizing psychoactive substances was always a ploy to allow blacks to earn from the one thing they can do right. Sell drugs.

WTF is this ? State sponsored wakandan cartels ?

#7 What Mullah Richard said. Legal marijuana isn't working in California because the illegal stuff is cheaper. The stuff can be grown almost anywhere. If you know what you're doing you can grow it in a closet inside your house. How can the government ever hope to tax it? Plus, graft.

Exactly - and the respective governments are going to get that money if it's the last thing they do, so look for CA in particular to come up with some kind of packaging that will be required for legal weed, and God help you if you can't show that package.

Or put another way - if you think that the War on Drugs was bad before, wait till you see how ugly it gets now that it's legal.
