Police to crack down on illegal cannabis
At one time I’d’ve thought that legalizing cannabis might mean police could turn their attention to more serious matters, but instead there’s a new task force to crack down on illegal production.

Entirely predictable. Imagine if Pepsi could send a bunch of armed men to go kick Coke’s doors down and put them out of business.

And then halve the quality, double the price and limit availability of their own product

One of the rare times I have to 100% agree with a Bill Binns comment. It’s insane the cognitive dissonance of this legalization where all the police departments asked for (and mostly got) big budget increases to handle it.

Rather than making legalization about letting adults decide for themselves whether to partake of cannabis, the federal government decided it was all about protecting the children and eliminating the black market. This was, I imagine, a calculated effort to appeal to both older conservatives (finally we’re thinking about the children!) and older liberals (more money for the government!). But they don’t have enough supply to have the black market wither on its own, so they’re trying to stamp it out.
