It seems to me that if there is such a problem in the parks and at SSCC… and I can’t really speak to that issue because I’ve not seen a problem in the parks, nor do I frequent SSCC. But if there really is that large a problem, then the lack of any regulation seems to be propagating that problem. I don’t see how legalization and regulation could make that any worse. If anything, it seems like legalization and regulation would horn in on the current distribution system and maybe disrupt the current flow.
I personally think it should be legal and taxed. Why shouldn’t the state get $ out of it to help fund our schools, roads, etc. That way you can choose to be taxed and purchase or you can choose not to be taxed and abstain… I like choice! And combined with legalization, I think there should be a HUGE educational effort to make it as socially unacceptable as possible, combined with strong enforcement against use in public places and altered states driving.
