I know it would be better and cheaper. Have you ever been to Amsterdam?

I learned this 10 years ago.
I doubt that legalizing mm will turn Colorado into an Amsterdam, and that legalization will happen anytime soon; although public opinion in favor of legalization certainly is increasing - witness New Jersey being the 14th state.

I predict that the proposed legislative restrictions and taxes will increase rather than lower costs, at least initially. Until there is a digestible way to certify the quality of mm, inconsistency will abound, and you won't always get what you pay for.

Maybe FDA will reclassify this from a Schedule 1 to a Schedule 4 or 5 drug, and maybe definitive and recognized research will be done, and maybe the "medical" aspects can be quantified, and maybe it will all make sense. In the meantime, nonsense prevails....
