After that it's automatic "yes." Of course they can still deny through zoning wizardry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Weed is the next big government revenue cash engine across the United States. It just makes too much money to ignore in a time period of pensions and pretty much every state government flat broke and desperate for cash. With so many states either losing taxpayers or no longer generating replacement taxpayers, it's an attractive revenue source. After that, it'll be legalized prostitution. Sounds wild, but it'll find its way into conversation. Think about the billions you'd make from a casino that offers booze, gambling, weed, and prostitution for however much money you've got. You'll pave a lot roads with that revenue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTE: While this dashboard is updated regularly it does not represent real-time, official information on municipalities’ opt-out decisions. https://rockinst.org/issue-areas/state-local-government/municipal-opt-out-tracker/ that's a great reference. i'm guessing that towns that have already had their meeting dates but not decision listed, are just waiting for the list to be updated, or i wonder if they don't have to announce a decision at the time of the meeting. i saw one meeting televised, and the entire place erupted in cheers once the decision was made. 2 hours ago, LeviF said: They have until Dec 31 to say "yes" or "no."

No one on "dope" ever hurt a soul. Alcohol is the real killer, and that's perfectly legal! And guns! LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most buy it, bring it home, then consume it. Just like most people do with alcohol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Just a heads up on how this Opt Out/In works... If a town doesnt do anything now or actively opts in, they can never opt out later on. However, if a town opts out now, they can opt back in at any point in the future. This is why you see some towns choosing to opt out until they see how it all goes. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) I'm not sure how accurate that site is. Our local village election it was voted Yes, but that link has it as No. Here's the results from the BOE...

teef Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 i've also never agreed with the idea that once it's sold in an area, the streets will be flooded with high drivers. i mean there may be a tick up, but you didn't exactly have to be a super criminal before to get your hands on pot in the first place. people who know better won't drive, and others unfortunately won't care. driving high will be like having a few beers at happy hour and driving home. it's not a good idea, but i'm sure you'll see it, (we already see it). 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
