Analyzing the legalization of recreational marijuana
Marijuana is now legal in 17 states and producing billions of dollars in tax revenue. But, is it the cash-cow cannabis pundits believed it would be? And has legalization driven more people towards pot? KTVU’s Frank Mallicoat spoke with Dr. Jonathan Baktari, CEO of the U.S. Drug Test Center to get some answers.

The democratic system it the dumbest system because people in office and corporations speak for all of the population not the people. I love America but this is sad they won’t Just legalize It. Fuck what you think what matters is what we (The People) think. 🥲 Don’t let your local representative embarrass you!
Marijuana legalization is not about the business, or taxes. That’s a small side issue. – Science and widespread experience have shown marijuana is not addictive and is far less harmful than alcohol. – Yet, more than 600,000 innocent Americans are arrested for simple marijuana possession each year and made second-class citizens – for life! They will forever face large obstacles to decent employment, education, travel, housing, government benefits, and will always go into court with one strike against them. They can even have their children taken away!
25 million Americans are now locked away in this very un-American sub-class because of this bogus "criminal" record. That has a horrible effect on the whole country, being a massive waste of human potential.
The fraudulent marijuana prohibition has never accomplished one positive thing. It has only caused vast amounts of crime, corruption, violence, death and the severe diminishing of everyone’s freedom.
After the pandemic, there is no more important domestic issue than ending what is essentially the American Inquisition.
