Also, the cartel’s moved in, to grow their own weed to sell for much less than what the dispensary’s are selling it for.
Someone is getting rich from the tax base of legalized weed and benefiting, but I can assure you, it’s not the citizens who were handed the same bag of veiled promises…VOTE NO!!!

Agree. I heard/saw the same thing from friends that lived in Denver and experienced myself when I would go into downtown Denver.
Yes, most will buy pot, use it a home and responsibly, but like alcohol, 10% will abuse it, drive high, and create problems for everyone else and more work for law enforcement. And the revenue gained will be offset by the cost of the pain caused.
Nope. If you want recreational pot, plenty of states that have it. Move there.
And sir, thank you for your service.
