The demographics in Colorado are WAY different than Louisiana. As far as it being a good thing overall for society in La I probably agree, it just depends how much more crime would come to good neighborhoods when you take away one of the only income streams from the hood, but it I doubt it would boost economy when you factor in everything. Anyone who acts like they know legal weed is some kind of panacea for the economy in certain states hasn't spent more than a few minutes thinking of the repercussions or just has a low IQ.

Exactly. I say lets outlaw broccoli, oranges, and tomatoes too. The more things outlawed, the better it is for lawyers judges and hood rats.

We've been legal since 2012 and we don't have cops and lawyers starving in the streets and the people in the hood still find a way to get by.

Enforcement is a massive drain on our economy. We spend billions on enforcement of marijuana prohibition when we could rake in 10's/hundreds of millions in tax revenue.
Places like BR and NOLA wouldn't have to cut any police officers. There's already a shortage of those. They won't lose their jobs.
The "hood" will be just fine, probably a lot better off in fact. Less of them in jail. More of them able to find jobs as a result of not going to jail for marijuana possession, etc.
