Update on recreational marijuana legalization

Well, I don't agree with putting buddy Joe out of business. And that will never happen, anyway. It's a business like any other- there are expenses and labor involved- you can't lower costs beyond a certain amount or a business becomes unprofitable.

(BTW, it's " should have come", not "should have came". What's with so many people using the past tense of a verb these days with "have" or "had"? I read it everywhere, even in articles by professional journalists. Is grammar passé?)

I do not care much about recreational mary jane, but that door may open another. More funding and investment into Medical Marijuana clinical studies. Then eventually a viable product at the retail level A win for everyone.

Psilocybin also has a lot of potential. It’s being used in micro doses for treatment of depression and anxiety. These are often the root causes of many antisocial behavior. Although it’s only now being used in research it has the potential for becoming mainstream psychotherapy.
