    They fucked everything up. I know there were big issues with major gangs making money ect… but no one seems to get that there were soooooooo many mom and pop operations making a little tax free money that went direct into the communities. They were buying quads , snowmobiles from local dealerships. Paying cash to local restaurants. There were people who couldn’t find other jobs for reasons that could trim and grow to support themselves. It was a great industry for the lower to middle class to rise up without being screwed .

        I have yet to see the government using pot taxes to build any of the things they promised. No rehab centers. They are filling there coffers. I would rather have you and I spending the money locally then the government’s promises. Nothing is coming to the cities. At least before it came back.
