“There’s always the hope that states function as laboratories of democracy, and when one state does something that makes sense and seems to work, that other states will adopt it,” says Davis. “Arrests went way down, overdoses didn’t change: To me, that’s an improvement over the previously existing system.”
You know who don’t want drugs decriminalized?
Drug cartels.
Legalization is an existential threat to the cartels, and the only one they’ve faced since the war on drugs started.
I still remember mexico asking US to legalize marijuana as their cartels still had a market here.
The cartels are everywhere. It sucks.
Unfortunately the Cartels have begun to diversify their portfolios into “legitimate business.”
Avocado farms are apparently getting squeezed really hard for “protection fees” now.
Also whack ass gangs. So sick of hearing rappers still trapping and acting like it gives them a one up over literally any other human being. They collect junkies to run the pressure and intimidation game like the pussies they are.
No gives a single fuck about your clique of poor pussies that do dirt for a free globe hit.
Why don’t American patriots use the guns to fuck up gangs, lol. …they’d never dare… because America is equally run by the underworld as much as the mainstream.
