This is great news obviously, but I can’t help but wonder how much it cost society to make it illegal in the first place. All the resources dedicated to enforcing the laws, lost time due to incarceration, job loss because of charges, etc.
Imagine where we would be if that money was dumped into education. It probably would have been more effective in the long run.
