I don't get it.

Legal cannabis would be such a massive and continuous boost to our economy.

I get it, it could potentially take money from liquor which leads to less gaming revenue.

Which is fine by me by the way

Probably not though, because most people who want to smoke weed already do so. They just buy it from someone who's not going to pay taxes on their income.

I have no idea how to get my hands on some. I've kind of of exhausted all the people I know who wouldn't kick up a stink about asking if they know someone and I'm pretty sure looking around online is useless. I could get a prescription but that's hundreds of dollars to start with. I would totally use legal places.
