I guess it’s a feel good way to go.

"Legal" here in Missouri, but not federally so you can't use it and own guns. Seems to me like it would be easy to get caught up in a Federal net at some point...never tried pot, never will.

It would be fun to go in and look around but I have no interest in using any of it. Any. Did my fair share back in the 70's.

It takes a big man to admit a mistake. Like you, my initial thought was legalize it, let freedom have at it and let people decide for themselves. I still feel that way, but my fellow Americans are making poor choices with all that Freedom and were starting to look like the Middle east when it comes to civil engagement.
We want to do what we want, without thinking of the long term implications. WI has not legalized it, and frankly, I'm surprised we have not yet, We have a very liberal Governor but the Republicans still control the legislature. Having Michigan next door, where it is legal, allows alot of WI plates to cross over to get it, which I'm sure is happening.
They legalized medical MJ here in FL a few years back. Immediately MJ shops opened up on every corner faster than Walgreens and CVS. A head cold and $125 would get you a MJ medical permit at any one of them. Since then, sitting at almost any traffic light smells like a skunk's outhouse. Fortunately a recent "constitutional" amendment to legalize all MJ was shot down, but the pro smokers will simply continue to push for legalization until they get it one way or another.
I'll never go near a 'dispensary.' Just in my agencies there was too much blood spilled and too many lives ruined by a failed 'War on Drugs.'

There's way too much anecdotal evidence related to the hippie lettuce to ignore.

I had a similar experience, staff were helpful, but everything smelled like a pine forest and the product names sounded like energy drinks. Still figuring out what actually works for sleep.

Many gunowners do not realize that if you use marijuana you could lose your second amendment rights. Your firearms could be confiscated. This applies to States that it is legal to use as well. If you have a marijuana card you can not legally buy, or own a firearm. Be very careful with this. Let your friends, and family know the restrictions that are involved.

Here in Florida, you get to try it at every traffic light, whether you want to or not.
My niece and her hubby moved out of Colorado. I think that it had as much to do with the oppressive gun laws as legalized marijuana. From what I've been reading we are just starting to learn about the problems with marijuana. Pot heads always make the loudest noise in promoting it. Per your post, I wonder if the cartels also have influence?
I quit smoking weed on December 14th 1982. One week before I turned 17.
I've already said I'm absolutely convinced that marijuana destroyed Colorado. I also think that was a plan.
I'm pretty sure that weed will be the downfall of America.
The thing that annoys me the most about weed is folks move into this apartment building (and I'm sure every other apartment building in Colorado Springs) and they sign a lease agreement that they won't smoke weed on the premises. And then they proceed to smoke weed on the premises. And it doesn't so much bother me that they're smoking weed as it bothers me that I have to smell it.
It also bothers me that the management here (on paper) takes a hard line stance against marijuana. According to the lease agreement smoking marijuana on this property is grounds for immediate eviction.
I have seen management standing outside of an apartment with smoke rolling under the door and have had them look me in the eye and tell me that they can't prove it's marijuana and they can't prove it's coming from the apartments that they're watching it come out of so they can't do anything about it.
I've also trained people at work who the very first question they ask me is "How often do they test for weed"? or "How do I get around the weed test:?
You knew when you accepted this job that you weren't supposed to smoke weed. At least have the Integrity not to take the job knowing that you're not going to fulfill the job requirements that you agreed to.

The people on the other side of the political spectrum absolutely HATE smoking and yet they want people to smoke weed. What am I missing here?
Really? I don't think I have ever smelled it when out driving around the Tampa Bay area.

I live in Indiana, a state where all forms of marijuana are illegal. Chicago is 30 miles from me and for the last 5-8 years Illinoisans have have literally moved here in droves. Lake Co. where I live is the only democratic co. in the state. So my new Illinois neighbors do whatever the hell they want and thumb their noses at the police depts in this county because the courts here have a "catch and release" attitude about "petty " stuff like marijuana. I guarantee marijuana is a gateway drug as proven to me by some former friends who ruined their lives by entering the "gateway".

I have yet to hear anyone claim marijuana made anyone smarter or more ambitious.
