A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
They violated the laws, they need to be charged. Maybe we should give them all free pot too along with all the other freebies like housing, FOOD stamps, medical care, water bills, winter coats, backpacks, school supplies, turkeys, etc.
Query what the differences in prices are between products on the black market and those sold at the regulated dispensaries? People with disposable income, it strikes me, would pay a premium to purchase at the regulated market. Weed presents an interesting problem because if tax burdens on its sale are high, the black market will continue unabated. California is experiencing this problem.
Wait when all the stimulus money runs out and the extra 300 weekly unemployment checks and regular unemployment runs out and people have to really get off there asses and get a real job. The free stuff army will be crying the blues when the free stuff runs out it cannot go on forever.
To stop this arrest more illegal marijuana users. They won’t be happy until they get it for free.
Yup and they claim they are discriminated against, they receive more free stuff than any other race in the country, yes poc
