[QUOTE="Mutineer, post: 4792783, member: 69587"] As a native Californian, sadly I do "appreciate the situation they live in." Because they bring their "situation" and all their baggage with them. And perpetuate it in the area I live in. People who advocate excessive immigration either profit from, and/or are insulated from it's negative effects. I agree. Although instead of "legalize", I think "decriminalize" is more appropriate. And not so fast and eager with the "tax and regulate." California has done that with cannabis. And the legal dealers are taxed and regulated so that the prices of their products very much reflect the associated costs of being legal. People are STILL getting busted for smuggling pot! From what I gather, despite being legalized and regulated, the supply and demand for black market pot seems unchanged. [/QUOTE]
