Pretty fucking selfish of you.

Pretty selfish of hIm? The expungement requires Parson to sign off on the Expungement.

You sure "selfish' is the right word?

I’m not talking about expungement. I’m talking about all of the future arrests that do not have to happen.

The link is to show roughly the number of people that applies to per year.

The purpose of the language is to stop the illicit market. Read it! Page 17 under the Purpose section.

That concept of ending the illicit market and stopping cannabis arrests are incompatible.

You do realize that's the opposite of what supply and demand is right? When Supply goes up, prices go down.. because there is more easy access to the product.

This creates more supply. Why would demand go up? It only cost $100 to get a medical card so anyone who wanted the product already is getting it or has a local person they are getting it from anyway.

I'm really trying to understand your argument here. If you can elaborate more please do so, but I think your terminology may be off and confusing things.

Man I genuinely wanna know how you think that works. Like how would legalization raise prices? You say demand would go up, which yeah, possibly. But wouldn't the dispensaries be pretty eager to supply that market? Money would still spend if it passes, so they'd probably like to make some, and wouldn't multiple dispensaries competing with each other for customers bring prices lower than the current system of "knowing a guy or two"?

Economy of scale benefits alone would bring the price down tbh, you can grow a lot more weed when you don't have to hide that you're growing weed.
