    Legalize it like other states then the cops can fight the real crime

      Marihuana is just another crutch. Like alcohol, Xanax, etc…People just can’t deal with life’s problems without their crutch. Every long time marihuana user I know has other emotional problems and deals with anxiety issues. I dont know what the answer is, but I’m pretty sure it’s not being able to buy it at the convenience store.

      Seems like the only people who cry “legalize it” are the ones who waste their time using it. And if you smoke weed , you more than likely do harder drugs too. Whatcha gonna do?… cry to legalize them too?? Just be a responsible law abiding citizen and quit the crap! Grow up people!
