Same situation with illegal aliens.

Those unpaid costs affect all of society in higher costs for hospital services........except to the freeloader.

IMO the hospital has a valid expectation of getting paid............and not by the tax payer

Ending the welfare state would mean that they get kicked to the curb. Can't pay? Get out.

The folks that don't like that plan are free to donate to the medical charity of their choosing.

Leaving addicts to die on the streets would be a bit of an eyesore, I would think, and not something I would want children to see on a regular basis.

Even if his insurance would cover it who’s paying the lions share of that hospital bill and it impacts more than just him but I don’t think that little light ever going to shine. If they don’t cover it then will it be more rights or responsibility we know the answer.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Parents used to take their kids to public hangings, kids in third world cesspools see horrible stuff every day, might be a lesson in there somewhere...

Didn't read all the pages so may be repeating others it does seem strange to legalize a product with no viable test for using it So is there a impaired test for using the ton of legal prescriptions handed out daily or is the warning label enough Whern i asked law enforcement about state legal fed illegal I was told if an accident or pullover occurs and the test is positive the issue gets handed over to the feds
Even though the potshops only take cash the state makes a bundle on taxes at notime was the pot tobacco and booze shops shut down or out of supply during covid

Legal weed creates a lot of jobs, much tax money and a good amount of money towards GDP.
Those who drink alcohol or are okay with alcohol but not legal weed are big time hypocrites. Off the two only one is classified a hard drug, it’s the legal one. Of the 2, the true gateway drug is the one that is legal.

Once again, if you’re okay with booze but not a joint you’re a Freedom For Me, not Freedom For Thee. You likely know lots of productive to society weed users but just don’t even know it because it’s not legal.

Legal in Michigan, my tiny community of 4000 people just replaced and added more playground equipment and is currently rebuilding our softball / little league fields.
All 100% paid for with the taxes from pot sales locally. Community members now argue over whose pet project is up for next years $$$

Careful. You're talking too much sense. One of the Tman Karens is going to get all hysterical about fentanyl.

One thing that seems certain, full legalization breeds liberalism. As the majority of states who have this policy vote for the anti-gun, anti-outdoorsman democrats.

That was probably speed, had a friend that could drive across the country nonstop taking them. Wears your body out though, he died fairly young. I took one at my high school grad party, felt normal just never got tired. My bil has narcolepsy and he has a prescription for something that acts just like speed. I was never a smoker but thought weed relaxed the user, falling asleep driving is all that fun. We also wouldn’t still have Willy if it wasn’t for weed, he said drinking whiskey all day every day would have killed him.

This is a wild take, J Staton. I know plenty of Republicans / non-Liberals who are daily users.

Just look at the states who have made it legal most tend to vote blue. I'm watching MO since it's close by and conservative. I guess it's been fully legal there for 4 or 5 years now. There's consequences for every action, both good and bad. The good (tax revenue) comes to fruition early on. I figure the bad takes longer to ripen. Maybe a decade will tell?

Indeed, it’s a real stretch. Canadas two most conservative provinces
Alberta
Saskatchewan

Canadas two provinces with the most cannabis use in terms of dollars spent per person
Alberta
Saskatchewan

Hardly fits that narrative.

Maybe the same person that thinks people that smoke weed are dangers in vehicles because they think they’re trying to outrun satan. lol

Yeah, anti pot propaganda like Reefer Madness didn’t work at all. Lol

I think you’re overstating an unproven (and very unlikely) correlation. How many states historically voted Republican, legalized marijuana, and then flipped to voting Democrat?

What’s certain is we first saw legalization by states that historically voted Democrat and were more open to those types of policies. By your logic, we’d have a Democrat in office given the number of states who have legalized marijuana in the last decade.

You said it you're self that democrats are more open to such policies. Legalization in a state, would be a draw for liberals therefore breeding liberalism amongst a once conservative populace.
