This isn't true though or it would have been legal forty years ago.

The modern research definitely helped, but if anything it just reduced the stigma around marijuana and made most of the public less reluctant to legalization.

40 years ago the majority of conservatives were claiming weed is the devil's pubic hair and smoking it will make you act like the girl in the exorcist. Today, most conservatives don't talk about and tend not to give a fuck either way.

But legalization is more of a result of the social impact of modern research, rather than of the research itself.

I do understand that shit Nutt, but going from a card carrier to a recreational was quite alarming in price, and now the dispensaries are being pushed out...

Yeah I agree 100% that shit is fucked. There is a lot of things I would have liked to seen done differently for sure. But most if not all of that can be changed at a later point.

Colorado seems to have a slightly better model than us going (and a billion dollar in total sales in 2015!) but hey when shit is just getting rolling it isn't always pretty. We've come a long way but got a long ways to go.

Go fuck yourself, you're like 4000 miles away, and way behind on your weed knowledge....

You underestimate the power of big pharma, tobacco, and alcohol lobbyists here and the for profit prison industry.

That's not even throwing in the DEA, (some) police unions, and all that other stuff that don't wanna see it legalized.

But if you weigh up the profits from big pharma and the new commercial cannabis industry, the latter is probably now more profitable. There's not just the weed itself, but the jobs in all the related industries; glass-makers, shop workers, delivery services, hydroponic equipment production, administrative work. Just look at Snakegang @Snakegang . He's part of the new economic miracle of marijuana legalization.

As for private prisons, they get kids on other shit these days. Just look at young people's music for example. It went from 'Love's Gonna Getcha' to 'In Love With The Coco'. And a lot of kids are dumb enough to listen to music like that and do what it says.

Man they have a video where they are giant blunts in a part of it and that shit had me and my friends rollin the first time we saw it. Fuck that must have been in like 97 or 98 because I know I was already going to Scriber Lake alternative HS. We used to ditch class to watch Rap City and chief at my buddy's house because him mom was at work and they lived a few blocks from school.
