Yep.
The tax revenue and the proof of concept in Colorado will be too much to ignore.
Colorado not only makes over a hundred million in tax revenue from the industry annually that is put into school systems, but they also have seen reductions in violent crime and DUI's.

I'm sure the stats either don't exist or aren't accurate because of the time but I would be willing to bet there was a large reduction in violent crime in big cities after prohibition was overturned as well.
Also the amount of money the tax payers will save not locking up users can actually go towards useful shite like infrastructure and education

Prescription painkiller rate has decreased as well by a large margin which people suggest is a proxy for addict reduction
