I live in NJ and we have an election for governor happening in under a month.
The Democrat promises to put a bill up within 100 days to legalize Marijuana. Of course he also want to raise taxes and spend more stolen money in a state it is impossible to afford to live in already.
The Republican wants to only decriminalize (fine only) Marijuana and expand the medial program. She'll also lower property taxes in the state with the highest theft rate.
Where does the community fall? Weed is already easy to get. The cops are completely corrupt and take every opportunity to harass the peaceful public. Is complete legalization and taxation the way to go? Remember, it comes with California-style government. Or is decentralization the route in this instance? Cut down on the police state a good amount and starve the beast in Trenton with lower taxes and no weed taxes?
