I've been reading about it locally.
Over the years, I had more and more leaned toward "legalize it, what do I care what somebody else does?" However I have to say that in the last two years I've been changing my mind.
I posted elsewhere here a while back that Ontario, Oregon, where I frequently go for stuff, and which has been a hick town of perhaps 10,000 people, last year, did $100,000,000 in pot revenue. More per capita than Portland. There are pot shops everywhere, with possibly more ID license plates in the parking lots than OR plates.
In 2019, Ontario was the kind of "big" small town that I found more similar to my Republitarian philosophy than cities around the Boise metro area. Super friendly people, leaned heavily conservative (as does most of Eastern Oregon) and clean and from what I could see, crime free.
That changed drastically, from my perspective, over the last year. The pot shops cropped up like crazy. Partially, from my understanding, because either the city or county promoted them for the tax revenue (which they have now, in vast amounts). I'm seeing a ton more grungy people walking around the town, and though I haven't seen 2020 crime stats yet, from the local news it looks like crime has gone up significantly, including violent crime, and even armed robbery at some of the pot shops. I used to leave my car unlocked everywhere I went there, like I do in most small towns in Idaho. Now I always lock it. That's not scientific, but it's a "Ben visual" that shows something has noticeably changed there for me.
So I'm still not sure where I stand on "legalize it", but I'm positive that I have become 100% NIMBY on the subject. Right now, I'm close enough to see the degradation, but far enough away to avoid it in daily life. I'd hate to have to start locking my car in my little town. Or even taking crime out of the equation, having to deal with the stench of pot farms, like what is happening in my old haunt of Santa Barbara, where the liberals thought replacing orchid farms with pot farms would be the cat's meow in progressiveness. Until they had to start smelling what they voted for.
