I'm a good & legit MM user. Fibromyalgia but I've also "bounced" on concrete & other hard surfaces many times in a youth well spent. Joint & muscle pain & spasms are all mediated well with very few side effects.
But unless your a local to the area you would never notice the side benefit.
The guerrilla illegal growers-especially the Mexican cartel growers have all left the state. Because there is no market for the product at the prices they need. Typical wholesale for herb is below $100.0 an Oz unless it is really special.
So the cartels all packed up shop & stopped the illegal grows. These grows cost taxpayers countless $ in cleanups. Also real environmental damage done by fertilizer & human waste & irrigation causing erosion etc. Not to mention the danger to those hiking etc..
So I'd prefer it was just legal for adult use. Leave it up to the local markets to establish rules & regulations for sale.
But even the harshest critic can not deny basic legalization solves some very basic problems-and promotes individual liberty not to be a slobbering drunk.
