Our neighbors, New York and New Jersey, have not only legalized the “adult use” of cannabis for retail sales, but both states already put a full stop to all possession arrests.
As the majority party they control the legislative agenda.
Several prominent Republican officials have claimed that legalization will unleash a torrent of stoned drivers, menacing our roadways while law enforcement is helpless to detect them.
Retail cannabis can bring tens of thousands of new jobs and hundreds of millions in new tax revenue, a significant undertaking.
