I agree, I have been saying this for years. When we had prohibition there was still alcohol, and who supplied it? Cut out that middle man.

And tax it like tobacco is taxed.

Had you pegged for a "but it's illegal" kinda guy ...

I'll be glad when they just legalize it so it can be taxed.

Washington, Colorado, and I believe another state have ammendments to legalize and treat it like alcohol this election.

I am still puzzled why Kentucky doesn't even allow for hemp production.

I fall in the "legalize and tax the crapout of it like alchohol and cigarettes" category.

Which is fine but people could still be arrested for it under federal law.

I want to say it's Northern Oregon.

Is that like East Dakota or South Hampshire?

The article I read was written in Northern Oregon. Obviously the ballot affects the entire state. The proposed law would make marijuana legal for anyone over the age of 21.

Good idea to legalize it but the cartels are more into bigger ticket items like meth, coke and pills so the smuggling will continue as long as there is a market.

I fully lean towards legalization.

 

My only concern is regarding how police determine how to determine if one is impaired while driving.
