Just went through this in NV
Here is what happened in Nevada...
1. The selling point for voters was that the money would go to education, but when the state found out how much money they could make, they decided to use a bucket system. One bucket is money used for education. Once that bucket overflows, the rest of the money goes to other state pet projects. So....just as teachers expected...no extra money was used for education.
2. You can smell weed in NV all day long. If you are on the expressway at 5 A.M., you will smell weed. Impaired drivers are never a good thing.
3. Kids were taking their parents' weed and smoking in school. You could smell weed all day long. It was so prevalent that the administration stopped trying to catch the kids bringing in the drugs. Kids that were caught just received a slap on the wrist.
I'm not against people using weed, but I hate the smell and don't want to smell that odor all day long in The Villages. If you don't believe that people will be driving high, you are fooling yourself. I do smell weed occasionally in the Villages, but if it were legal, many people would be smoking it, and some of those people will be driving high, creating an unsafe environment for us all.
