No, that would cause an abuse which would lead to increased crimes due to chaotic behaviors
I get your concern, though some research shows that regulated legalization can help shift focus away from minor weed offenses to bigger crimes, while also reducing illegal trade.
By reducing you mean, the trade will go on but it's no longer considered illegal?
The idea is to bring it under government oversight—quality, age checks, and taxation—so while some trade still happens, it’s part of a regulated market rather than fueling an unregulated black market
Proves my point. Its not that the trade will disappear, it just won't be considered illegal.
True, regulation doesn't wipe out all illegal activity. However, it often shifts the balance toward safer, controlled environments and provides tools for oversight and accountability, which might mitigate some negative effects
I get you
Yep.
It seems there are solid pros like easing legal burdens and sparking new revenue streams. Effective regulation and public health measures are key in making such policies work without causing unintended issues
I just believe in freedom.
