People who have no problem murdering other humans aren't going to let laws stop them from smoking weed.

People who are willing to kill another person won't let anything stop them from doing so. More tax money in NOLA could mean more police and the Weed Tourism business would create a lot of jobs.

NOLA has a huge violent crime problem, we all know that. Legalizing pot would probably lessen it a little.

Ding ding ding! This guy gets it. Legalize weed everywhere and there's nothing special about it. The numbers won't be near what Colorado is experiencing as a sole purveyor of cannabis freedom.

The biggest crime problem in Denver is petty theft. There is very little violent crime

Doubtful. If MJ was legal in all 50, demand would skyrocket. It could rival craft beer demand.

There are already more dispenseries in Colorado than all the McDonalds, 7-elevens, and Starbucks combined.

Even here in WA state we still have a ton of petty crime. There's still a s-ton of meth heads out there.

I don't smoke anymore and haven't in 15 years, but it's nice to know it's there if I want it. The growers and land leasers are very straight laced, it's the business owners and distributors that perpetuate even the typical stoner stereotype when it comes to stuff like invoicing and being professional like man.

Still waiting on all that tax for education too...

I don't know. The numbers will go down but it will still be plenty lucrative. WA saw around a 10% drop in sales when Oregon legalized.

Yeah, there really hasn't been any change that I've noticed. Of course, weed might as well have been legal here before 2012.

Southern bluehairs will never allow you to enjoy the reefer--revenue and common sense be damned.

I think it will be lucrative, but not on the scale of colorado's success. Especially if you assume that Louisiana, in its inevitable style, will frick this up like a soup sanwhich Seems Colorado had its shite together when it legalized the drug. I don't think this state could properly manage the industry. That would lead to massive corruption and s huge hit on the revenue.

It's already starting corrupt just on the medical side of things. The state (should HB1099 pass) is licensing only 10 pharmacies statewide, and only 1 grow facility, with no option for self cultivation. That screams of government money grab.

Uh, no. If weed were legal in all 50 states, "weed tourism" in CO would see a massive decline.

Comparing a bunch of indoor grows to Napa Valley is also pretty silly. The closest place to that would be Humboldt and Mendocino counties in northern Cal.

Not sure why this got downvoted. It's common sense.
