Decriminalize not legalize would be much better for us Southern states. Simple is always much better in Texas.
New Orleans as the US Amsterdam - that would work.Louisiana is facing a $1.5 billion tax revenue shortfall. You'd think the legislature would look at the Colorado model for a solution. May not fix all of the problems, but I would guess they could generate 150 million in new taxes, especially with the tourist trade.

Every state has budget issues. You'd think they'd all be looking at the option.
All those used-up coal mines in WV could become year-round grow centers.

Hopefully in addition to making MJ legal and unregulated for recreational use, they'll also eliminate the very stoooopid regulations on growing your own. We should be allowed to grow and process MJ in our own home/backyards just as I do tomatoes and green beans. And I should be able to give MJ away to friends just as I now dump surplus veggies from the garden on their front porches.
It is sooooo wrong to spend zillions of gov't/taxpayer dollars enforcing ridiculous rules on home gardening! This world needs more folks growing their own food, making their own booze, growing and processing their own MJ (or whatever), not less.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if the big, commercial growers operating (at huge profits) under the radar in California would suddenly find there is no market for their stuff because home gardeners make it freely available like zucchini in August? No guns, no gangsters, no crooked law enforcement payola schemes. Just grandma in the backyard yelling at the youngin's to hurry up "hoeing that row of MJ!"
I'll be sooooo happy when my spring Burpee catalog includes several pages of MJ seeds! Or the local greenhouse has seedlings of various types available every spring!
I've always thought that drug testing, except in public safety situations, is overly intrusive...
Not to mention demeaning.

Though some plants are hermaphrodites. Not that there's anything wrong with that...
Never ever took one. If they need my urine to tell I'm high, they have the problem. Wouldn't want to work in that environment.
Conservative Mississippi, believe it or not, was among the first States to decriminalize possession of less than 30 grams ... way back in 1978.

I was a regular MJ user in the 60s and early 70s so it was ironic that I was responsible for implementing drug testing at my Federal agency in the 80s. We tested everyone with a top secret clearance - clearly a high risk bunch. Based on the small likelihood of use in that crew I worried that the 99.5% accuracy of the tests would predict that any positives were false. In the event, none of that group ever did test positive although we did get some positives among our police (closer to guards actually). The whole program was a waste.Never every took one.

In a six month period in 98-99, I was subjected to three drug tests. While laid off, I w*rked part-time at an Office Depot, so was given a pre-employment screening. Then, a j*b as a "contractor" opened at my previous employer, thus drug test #2. A few months later, I was re-hired as a "real" employee, thus drug-test #3...
Pissed and passed!
