Then some other nearby state will legalize it, and that added revenue will decrease significantly because LA won't be drawing in as many people from nearby states.
While you're right, I don't think we have to worry about MS and Texas anytime soon. Nola would be a centralized hub with a reputation that already calls for leaving the kids at grandma's for the weekend. Other states can't really offer that. By the time surrounding areas caught on nola would be entrenched as the place to go for pot in the south.

As a fiscal conservative, it pisses me off that this hasn't happened yet.

CO is unique in that it's a weed tourism location that's heavily reliant on prohibition elsewhere.
Nola wouldn't be heavily reliant on prohibition elsewhere? It's the bastion of sin in the middle of the bible belt. People fly in from three and four states away just to see some tits and catch beads. They will flock here to buy legal pot.

As a fiscal conservative it pisses me off that people are pumped about being taxed. It should be legalized, but not heavily hit with a sin tax.

How many of our fine residents will try to use LA Purchase cards to buy weed?

Even if its legal in neighboring states, people will still come to Nola to get fricked up and do stupid shite and spend all their money.
That includes spending money on weed.

I know. I'm saying we will be one of the last hold outs to legalize so the numbers won't be nearly what they predict in these studies.

Yeah but then we would have all these people running around on this gateway drug

More food stamps and welfare! YES!!!
No but really they can give all that money back to the Tops program and then some, then fix the roads

I don't understand why it's not even being considered.
Sadly, if it doesn't happen with current financial situation the state is in, it will never happen.

It would both bring in new tax dollars and require less spending on locking people up. It would be a huge boon to the budget.
Combined the money would easily pay for TOPS.
The groups should join forces. Have a motto: DOPE for TOPS

You think those bumpkin baptist in NLa would actually consider something like this?!
There are private prisons in some NLa towns that are pretty much the only employer. Also the small town Sherrie's offices run shite and completely love speeders and whacky tobaccy smokers to line their pockets.

$115MM of this would go unaccounted for. The number looks enticing until you realize where it ends up.

Yeah, I know.
I guess I know why it's not being considered, just sad that such an easy way to inject lots of money into the state is being totally ignored.

Oh there will no doubt have to be a minimum of $100mm in independent studies done on the impact by private contractors. And then studies on top of studies to see the difference in year two of the legalization, then year three.... But I guess you could get some money pumped into the economy in the way of lining some contracted studies. That's saying at least a couple will be done by locals and not contracted to Rutgers University or some shite like you know it would be.
