Against pot? Still?

AJ...pot-smokers all turn out to be “super-concentrating PhDs”

Of course that is not so. Many high-school pot smokers graduated to have an MA, MBA or/and an LLB.

Anyone have idea how much was money spent on pro and con on Prop 19? Anyone know the nature of the groups? Is it “dark money?” (per the encouragement of the US Supreme Court?) Thus easy that anti-Prop 19 money is funded by drug-criminals? I assume it must be.

I am stupefied that anyone is seriously proposing that marijuana should remain the engine of narco-criminality and that people who oppose Prop 19 as a matter of large public policy. I can only guess that opponents are young and simply like to argue, many in rebellion to their pot-smoking parents.

As to abuse of marijuana, of course everyone is against abuse. As should be too much broccoli, red meat and soda pop. Abuse is always bad. But why set the abusers as the standard? By that token guns should not only be regulated but totally banned and making owning a gun (any kind) should be absolutely illegal.

(Indeed Prop 19 may have been poorly drafted and can argue that it’s a good thing it failed — but Prop 19 as a piece of wise drafting is not really at hand. The wording was not the ting — it’s about pot.)
