Good! It’s not a real crime like murder or whatever, mind your business!

Because drugs dealers and growers are well known to be law abiding citizens that break no other laws such as trafficking, abduction or murder. Those Mexican cartels are just misunderstood

Obviously, everyone on reddit gets their weed from an ethically sourced eco-hippy.

Fr the only reason weed coincides with criminality is because it's illegal. Make it legal and all that goes away instantly.

It absolutely wouldn't be instant - the idea that county lines would go and breathe a sigh of relief and pay tax and electricity costs and all that is laughable.
