How about they look at data from all of the other states that made it legal? Has crime gone up?
That fraternal order of policing?
I respect good cops doing their job, but no respect for this organization.
I don’t even have any interest in smoking marijuana. This just seems like FUD from a group that profits off of it.
Yeah, trust the words of a cop on this issue. They’ll have less petty shit to do and have to go after actual crime.
FOP President Wolske: “Crime is going to go up, so what does that mean? That means you’ll need more officers to respond to those calls and we don’t have those,” Wolske said, “the numbers (of officers) are down dramatically”.
Wolske also said the FOP fears that the legalization of marijuana could lead to more minors getting access to the drug.
Also FYI this weed legalization shit is a fucking joke. You can only have up to 2.5oz of weed and grow up to 12 plants.
Authorize adult use consumers, subject to enumerated limitations, to: (1) cultivate, grow, and possess not more than six cannabis plants at the individual’s primary residence, with a total limitation of not more than twelve cannabis plants per residence where two or more adult use consumers reside at one time
12 plants would produce a lot more than 2.5oz. Also why any kind of limit on how much you can have? The group behind this law (cash grab for new corporate dispensaries/growers) is https://justlikealcohol.com so are they trying to also push limits to reduce the amount of alcohol you can posses? Doubtful.
I will be voting no. There should be no regulation on cannabis other than for distributes and commercial growers.
Cool, guess driving to Michigan is the better option then
The proposed legalization is better than the current law which is [shuffles paperwork, checks notes] having an out-of-touch 185-year-old take a Metamucil and Ensure cocktail dump on your head (see also: female reproductive rights)
There already is regulation on cannabis, but a 2.5 oz limit is far better than a 0 oz one. How many years are you willing to wait for a perfect bill and how many people’s lives will be ruined by the current draconian laws in the meantime?
