Reply to comment by heeyyyyooo in Bipartisan coalition advancing legislation to legalize recreational cannabis in NH - hopes of ending the Granite State’s status as an island of recreational cannabis prohibition by AMC4x4

No, getting rid of the War on Drugs police-state is the whole reason for legalizing it. As long as there is an illegal black market for police to go after (whether because the plant is entirely illegal or because smuggling it is cheaper than paying the taxes and regulations), the mission is not accomplished. Ask California and New York. (And contrast Colorado, who headed this issue off mostly correctly.)

All the legalized states are making billions in tax revenue combined and you think they are doing it because they care about the war on drugs? The same politicians that allowed pharmaceutical companies to get millions of Americans hooked on opioids to make record profits don’t have your best interests in mind.
