    I've come to realize that THC is really having a huge negative impact on our young people. They can't seem to get anything right. They screw up so much simple stuff these days. Try ordering a pizza sometime. You'll see...

      It might be just me, but it seems drivers are getting stupider on the road. Taking more chances getting into traffic and weaving around in the lanes not to mention tailgating even if you are already going over the speed limit. Be careful out there, especially in the cities. More than once I've remarked to my wife, "That fool has to be high!"

        It has gotten crazy out there. It's the really surprising stuff like people just merging into my truck when I'm right next to them. How does one not see a big ole Tundra? It literally blocks their view of everything else. Yet, they look and turn right over. Some of the driving antics are unreal. One of my favorites is when you see somebody doing about 55 mph through a parking lot. Where in the F are they going? Now that we have a bunch more Californians here in NV it has gotten much, much worse in just the past few years. I'm not good to tailgaters. I make sure not to go over the speed limit. You can sit at stop lights and, if your vent fan is running or your window open, you can smell the weed people at the light around you are smoking...WTH?

    👍 In principle, I agree with your article. The state government is foolish.
    There is an additional component that perhaps you could include as well.
    The state coffers can still benefit a good deal via the additional income taxes
    it collects as a result of the revenue from the drug trade being reported
    instead of hidden in the black market.

      I've always thought (knew) that no matter how much revenue they generated from this they'd just hire more of their friends and family and spend more than they brought in. Looks like I was right...haha...
