    I agree, as long as it’s well regulated it should be fine to sell at a profit.

    But maybe the problem for legislators is that the definition of well regulated is unknown, as the legalization in itself is kind of an experiment, and we don’t know for sure how it will work out.

      To begin with I’d be happy with keeping regulations in line with alcohol, no sales to under 18s, if your supplier can see you’re too inebriated they have to refuse to sell you more etc.

      It would be an experiment, but I fail to see how it would be worse than the black market which is by it’s nature, wholly unregulated.

        I agree 100%, IMO it’s not that much of an experiment, but when politicians are strongly warned by police, as they are here, I think that makes them cautious, because if it fails, they were warned about it.

        As I see it, legalizing Cannabis would reduce crime, especially help to not finance gangs and organized crime. It’s a no-brainer IMO.
