    US stayes that legalized weed had all of the predicted positive outcomes like reduced crime related to weed, increased taxes because it is taxed, etc.

    You know, the obvious outcomes for anyone who doesn’t buy into reefer madness.

      The oligarchs need more time to monopolize the market. Can’t have folks growing their own plants when there’s money to be made now

      Legalizing weed would drastically reduce the prison population of America.

      And we all know how bad that would be.

              I am, depressingly, aware. License plates are the stereotypical example (at least in my mind).

              It’s absolutely fucking atrocious that anyone is allowed to profit off prison labor. At the very least those funds could be sent to halfway homes but they should probably just be paid to prisoners.

          They can still use weed to populate prisons. This reclassification changes nothing in that regard.
