    As a lifelong straight-edge NJ resident, I spent 4 of my college years living with heavy drug users, then worked another 10 years with frequent recreational drug users. Out of all the things they've all ever done, the most violent, uncontrollable, and sickest they've *all* ever been is when they were drinking perfectly legal alcohol.

      This! Make it an economical argument. It costs so much to arrest, prosecute and jail people for pot. And if it’s legal you get to tax it and take in revenue. People are already buying it, the money is already there. It seems like such a no brained that is appears obvious it’s corporate influence (pharmaceutical lobbyists, private prison, etc) and corruption that keeps things the way they are.

    The proliferation of streaming services makes getting your shows legitimately more and more of a pain in the ass. Which is what makes people turn to pirating shows instead. Because honestly, paying nine different companies each month, installing all of their apps, then hooking them up to a surveillance device in your living room (what, you thought the 'smart' in a smart tv was for making it more useful to you, the consumer? that's cute and i have some lunar real estate to sell you later) only sounds like a good idea to an insane person.

      To be fair, I think their date was spot on. How much would it suck to have to be in the pot industry and work on 4/20? It'd be like working in a toy factory and having to work on Xmas.

    Yes! Legalization and decriminalization will make a great difference in many ways. We need this! And scrub those criminal histories involving mj.

      By the way Gianforte of Montana wants to make recreational marijuana illegal on June 7th. A prohibition on marijuana when alcohol is so much more dangerous. Over 100 years since the last prohibition.🤦‍♂️

      Everyone has the right to break the law and suffer the consequences if caught. It has nothing to do with whether they think it should be legal to the whole country or not.

      Stock market values and prices haven't had anything to do with facts or reality in three decades. It's all hype, capitalist "mythology", and targeted propaganda/PR.
      You know, like gambling. Because that's what the stock market is. Wall Street should be in Las Vegas or Atlantic City, not NYC.
