A Law Worth Copying
I doubt it. Supply goes way up, demand shrinks, public resources are redirected, jail space vacated, the commercial grow industry and its criminals disappear and, just maybe, a nice family moves in next door instead of that vacant house with the moldy curtains.

I tend to agree that legalization is the only solution. I wonder about unintended consequences, though. We learned alot about those with 215.
The big questions are, will those who are right now earning big bucks with no taxes suddenly be willing to turn over 50% of their incomes in taxes, without a fight? Will they willingly start paying their employee taxes and withholding? Will they willingly pay all the business licenses and fees that go with being in business legally? Will they willingly bring their businesses into code compliance (electrical and ADA, for example) will they make them environmentally compliant? Air scrubbers… what about the diesel? And what about the mold?
See, they’re living outside the law(s) now. Will the lure of being legal be enough to make them comply with the full catastrophe?

The same question could have been asked about bootleggers after the end of alcohol prohibition. We see what happened to them.
How much more would black-market sellers of marijuana fail, since it is so easily grown?
No worries. Prohibition is what causes 99 percent of the problems with marijuana.
