Why shouldn’t they?

Eventually marijuana prices will decrease because of competition with other sources (Native American and others) and the saturation of the market.

Marijuana is already everywhere, so what would be the purpose of repeating Colorado’s Amendment 64 mistake?

Oh boy, we get the toll on its youth like other states are getting. Increased use and high school expulsions for possession. Is that a good thing?

I’m for leaving things just as they are.
Trulieve has spent $93,000,000 on trying to getting Amendment 3 passed. If the driving force behind this is a commercial enterprise selling MJ then it's hard to believe this is a good amendment. A single glass of alcohol can give one a pleasant feeling without being affected. MJ has an immediate effect physically and mentally. What we don't need are more people with diminished capacity in the world.

And we certainly don't need people smoking MJ is an open area where children can inhale it.
