    Interesting take.

    As a drug of abuse it's safer than alcohol. However, it can take the wrong peeps towards harder drugs. Alcohol use is much more socially acceptable...

    I’ll just chime in an give my 2 cents: meh. Weeds easier to get than booze already, there have been stores selling it to anyone with a credit card for a couple years and it’s been decriminalized for years. I’m optimistic about the tax income but don’t think much else will change.
