Growing Concerns
The only people who find this vague and confusing are those “intelligent” people who are lawyers, politicians or law enforcement – people whose lives are consumed with rules, regulations and telling people what to do. These people freaked because they need to have control over everything, and this removed their authority to control a specific aspect of a certain subset of the population.
Legalization? No way! The government will overregulate it and probably make it illegal to grow your own. You would have to get your weed from some corporation, and we know how corporations cheapen and degrade every product to maximize profits for shareholders (corporations have forgotten that all their businesses are supported by consumers, not shareholders). Our pot will be full of pesticides and artificial fertilizers. The quality will be degraded. Finally, money will be taken from local individuals and given to giant corporations who hide their money overseas to avoid taxes. At least the locals spend their money in local stores that will pay sales taxes to benefit the local communities.
