Yep. I'm perfectly fine with this. Tax it more than alcohol and let them do whatever
As is the case 99% of the time.
I've said this long before pot was even legal anywhere. Just makes too much sense.
I think the community standard that was established a few years back by the Supreme Court regarding morality issues has some gotten lost in the recent rulings on some matters. During the Obama administration there was a sense that federal matters were being legislated or ordered via Executive authority and the standard was for all communities or stated another way the local standard was put on the back burner.
I have found that the revenues from “sin” programs really don’t get any permenant statuses for allocations. Sin taxes are generally are made up of Alcohol, tocacco, gambling, etc.
Ok. Its still gets used and more than they had previous.
It would cement his re-election, to be sure.
It would piss off a lot of his loyalists. Namely the evangelicals. He put Pence and others like him in place for that very reason. He doesn't have the guts nor the smarts.
The evangelical numbers are dwarfed by those that would love it. And, not just by those that smoke pot. There are a shit ton of people that don't smoke pot, that still want it legal to reduce prison/jail congestion and make our police department much more efficient, myself included.
Orrrrrrrrr. . .maybe the evangelicals would do with it what they do with everything else Trump does that isn’t all that Christian of him. Maybe they’d say it isn’t so bad.
I think booze is over estimating what the religious contingent will and won't accept. Recreational marijuana is on the ballot in North Dakota this fall, and there are church leaders up here that are advocating it's legalization.
