Message: <blockquote data-quote="wjschmaltz" data-source="post: 292558" data-attributes="member: 6150">It's never really been illegal in Alaska. A state where the people hold a reputation for their grit and hard work.  It's a state that Trump walked away winning both times and 8 years ago when official marijuana legality was on the ballot, the same voters made it an absolute blow out.  If you want a case study, Alaska is a good representative. I went to the liquor store and pot store Saturday morning on 4th of July weekend.  The liquor store was full of dirty homeless zombies purchasing their morning fix and a couple of people ready to go enjoy their weekend.  The weed store was full of people dressed to go to the lake or go fishing, didn't see any zombies in there. That's been my typical experience any time of day I go to either place. I can run into Anchorage quick and the thousands of homeless people roaming the streets are all holding paper bags.  The native village of Bethel voted two years ago to close down all liquor sales and allow two pot shops in town instead. Rape and domestic violence has gone down by over 50%. And the ones that do happen are all in the  home and still alcohol related (you can still buy booze and bring it in, it's a "damp" village). They used to have several drownings a summer from drunk people partying by the river, they haven't had one in two years.  It's literally a whole new town and friends that live there say it's night and day compared to how it was a few years ago.  Another great case study. My buddy that I get absolutely hammered off Pendleton with when I go out there even says the village is way better with the new rules and would vote to keep it that way. The same buddy owns a hunting/fishing lodge where people stay on the front and back end of their trips that he flys them out on. He said he no longer has to deal with stuff getting ruined by drunk guys and his lodge handlers no longer have to clean puke from the sheets, couches, and bathrooms.I don't know the ins and outs of selling the stuff.  But in a place where it's fully legal, its well regulated.  I've never seen any of the synthetic stuff.  To take it a step further, the best way to avoid additives is to just let people grow it in their own homes like they do here.  I love booze. The several people I have a personal relationship with on here can tell you I love booze. It's fun and I got a cupboard full of it. But my experiences in bars and liquor stores drinking all times of day for years tells me that there are just as many, if not SUBSTATIALLY more, worthless people hooked on the bottle than a plant.</blockquote>
