Can't say that until the Opium Dens reopen and you can get giggilos at Macy's.
I fully support reopening, regulating, and taxing. Sweet, sweet tax revenue for schools, transit, and lowering property taxes.
We’ll certainly need that “sweet, sweet tax revenue” to provide extra support in the schools for a generation that’s been brain damaged and is suffering cognitive and psychological impairment, provide emergency services and legal proceedings for accidents caused by drivers under the influence, but I wouldn’t count on property tax rates going down, because those will probably be offset by lost productivity and less desirable areas for both owning houses and engaging in commercial activities. It will almost certainly be a net loss to the county financially, not to mention the toll it takes on the individuals whose lives it devastates or the social cost to a diminished quality of life.
Legalizing recreational use only pleases 2 groups: users who no longer care about the damage it does to themselves or others, and the marijuana industry, which is really the only one that benefits.
