I never said I was pro gambling. Doing just about anything in overdose can be destructive, no?
Thoughts on legalizing recreational weed and sports gambling?

Yeah, if you don't have insurance, you are forbidden from receiving medical assistance. That is why so many people become Scientologists.

No taxes from the local.
As for quality, yes, a regulated store would ensure that, but if you have a guy I am guessing it's the same stuff time and time again.

I'll bite.
It will 100% help the state out, and there is no IF or MAY about it.
People do not get the variety, or quality, that a medical shop would provide to them. It is also cheaper for much better weed, unless you have some great hookup.
There are medical benefits to people whether people want to admit it or not, that aren't able to obtain an RX.
Gambling ruins lives every day, but to each their own, just like their weed consumption.
In the end, they're both just $$$ to the state. That's all it's about.

I'm glad both passed. My only issue with weed legalization was the ability to test for it etc in DUI situations. From my understanding talking with police officers in the state(and Colorado) there are provisions for that so I'm all for it.
Also, while there was in an initial increase in accidents the rates went back to normal. In some cases the drivers were on multiple drugs along with marijuana etc A good smattering of articles on the topic. The research right now is a little all over the map.

Legalized sports betting was idiotic that it took this long to get passed. It not being legal was some odd relic of the pre-internet age.

At my local pharmacy, all I have to do is flash my Blue Cross card and they let me in so I can take whatever drugs I want/need.
Serious question, does Brett not have health insurance? He asked a very odd question.

Why?
I had a guy get me fireworks that were of a much more serious nature than just firecarckers and it was the same quality over and over again thru the years. Weed wouldn't work that way?

Yes weed does work that way. Either a Chinese factory or a Russian factory is usually the source, if you light it, it burns. Just like fireworks. That guy is just being silly.

No. Weed wouldn't/doesn't work that way.
Literally laughing at you comparing fireworks to weed.

Maybe it was a mistake to ask you initially.

No. I've had "that guy" and I was "that guy" for many years. Every batch is different. It comes from different people. From all over the world. There are different types of weed... thousands... On top of that it depends on how it's grown, cured, etc. There are thousands of different factors that go into every crop of weed.
You may get some similar stuff here and there, but it is never the same.

Isn't it risky to be using serious firecrackers when you don't have health insurance?

Lol at thousands of factors. It's literally as simple as filling cardboard containers with gunpowder and sparkly stuff.
