Give it twenty years. States keep adding it now because they see "free" money in the short term. When all the long term problems caused by it come due, the public will be furious and the politicians will shrug their shoulders and say, "What do you want from us? Society sucks, it's not our fault."
But you said it already happened.

^^^ This one probably thinks that the movie Reefer Madness is a documentary.

Legalization is a failure. Drug dealers dont pay taxes. Who thought that would work. WE also have tons of homeless thanks to legalization. It is now tougher to tell the difference between The illegal drugs and the legal drugs.
I only would buy from a legal store. I don’t want to die from fentanyl. In addition, the different type of weeds have difference effect. I look up the weed names in the computer to see the effects I‘m looking for Giggling, euphoria, happy, sociable and a definite high. After the last two years of experimenting, I have started to cut down on any weed.

I was given the number of the guy from a friend but still felt unsafe.

Ha, that's true. They always look like they're about to pounce on something and rip it to shreds.

This one killed a dog a few days back. They usually don't come down into town but record snow has put things on the wrong side of "usually."
I look the same way. 😂😂😂😂




Here's a photo of me with my boss. Her name was Karen Tandy.
Damn, I don’t know if it’s the mushrooms I took or that weed I smoked, but your face is kind of swirly. Lol

I think it’s cute you think people didn’t smoke weed before it was legalized.

I know many cops and a narcotics detective. The cops all smoke weed and the narcotics detective didn’t care about weed before legalization and certainly doesn’t now. You’re out of touch.

Yeah....uh...states have been adding it for over 20 years now without issue.

Gambling and marijuana are both choices adults make in any free state.

None of which is directly linked to marijuana, nor do you offer any evidence whatsoever to support your point.

If you really were a narc, you would have been one hell of a cupcake under cross examination.
Everybody loves narcs. 😜

So posting YouTubes of homeless people is proof? Lmao

Yeah all those strung out homeless people hooked on weed 😂😂😂

Def not meth, heroin and fentanyl

Do you realize how dumb you sound?

He asked for evidence that the homeless problem had become worse. I linked to the two major cities that were early adopters of legalized marijuana. If you don't think these videos are evidence that the problem is worse in those two cities, then I don't know what to tell you. It's not just worse, it's exponentially worse.

Totally incorrect.

I know this because it was me asked this:

Where? What's your data source?

You can't think of other things, going on about the same time, that might have disrupted the housing market?

How, in your brain(?) does weed legalization contribute to homelessness?

Burden of proof lies with the person making an argument. You guys are trying to conflate increased homelessness with some sort of Reefer Madness, then show your work. It's not complicated.

This video takes place on a stretch of 6th and 7th Streets in downtown Los Angeles. At it's closest point, it is six blocks from the LAPD Headquarters (which is located on 1st Street). The federal building in Los Angeles (which is where the DEA, FBI, US Marshals, etc all have offices) are one further block away from the LAPD Headquarters. Between those two buildings is City Hall.

The stretch of tents in this video represent what is probably the highest percentage of drug addiction in the United States. It is well north of 99% drug addicted. It is six blocks from LAPD headquarters and seven blocks from every federal law enforcement agency in existence.

The first time I was in this area was 38 years ago. It did not look like this. Yes, there were some homeless and yes, many of those homeless were drug addicted ... but you did not have tents set up, you did not have garbage everywhere, the cops didn't just ignore it, and the area was generally safe and generally clean. The next time I was in this area was 20 years ago ... at that point, you had some tents. But they were few and far between. You had a lot of homeless, but purchasing drugs was still a process. If you wanted to buy drugs, you had to know a guy, who would present you to another guy, who would tell you about a guy in a building down the street, and maybe at the end of the process you'd find a guy actually selling. Today? Tents are endless. Everyone is drug addicted. Every single one of those tents has drugs inside it (or a human being who just ingested the last of the drugs that were inside it). You can purchase from basically anyone (because they know they can charge more and just go buy more at the "regular" price from an endless amount of sources on the same street).

This exists because the politicians (federal, state and local) want it and because these politicians have ordered the police not to do anything about it. These people are treated worse than animals, but nobody cares. The residents in the area hate it, but they are powerless to do anything about it other than move (which anyone with the money to move has already done) out of the city.

You realize this thread is about making weed legal, not fentanyl, right? Nothing you are babbling about has anything to do with marijuana legalization.

Whether it’s legal or not, a large portion of the population uses and there is absolutely no association with homelessness. My lord 😂

Person 1: Pot use has led to a big increase in the number of homeless.

Persons 2..N: We're skeptical. Show some proof.

Person 1: Here's a video of homeless people.

Persons 2..N: That's proof there are homeless people, not proof pot caused it.

Person 1: Here are some more homeless people.

Persons 2..N: 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤣
