It is not for you to decide. If someone wants to snort some coke, you, your moral high ground, and your brown shirts won't stop them.
Correct, and Foghorn the only reason you think their is no oversight is you are basing it on freewheeling California, not Colorado or Washington who have FULL COMPREHENSIVE PLANS to enact the legal retail sale and consumption of marijuana. Including but not limited to
1. Individual producers Licensing at state Level - $20k
2. Corporation Producers License at State Level - $50k
3. All Deliveries made from production to retail establishment are to be called in to state oversight agency, and is GPS tracked from the second its on a truck until it gets to its destination.
4. No person with ANY felony convictions is to be a part of this business whatsoever, not even if not working directly with the plant.
5. Retail establishments will be REQUIRED to have full video surveillance 24/7 as well as Production facility with 24/7 surveillance to be monitored online by state agency, with 20 days of footage backlogged for viewing by said state agency.
So if these are not enough for you, go live in Russia once it becomes legal, because the people trying to be a part of it are giving up their right to personal privacy just to PRODUCE a product, which either way you slice it is more valuable than 90% of what Americans do for work. I am talking about getting this country away from being a service sector economy and moving back into being a productive one, its literally as simple as producing this one plant, because with this ONE species, we can produce everything the Giant corporations do in EVERY industry, THIS is why its illegal, THAT is why you have been brainwashed into thinking it is because it is "harmful" or a "drug". Its because overnight the Lumber and Textile industry will be Obsolete. Not to mention Big Pharma, Johnson & Johnson, Petroleum producers alike, they will all have TRUE competition.
