I fought legalizing pot dispensaries in a city about 1/2 hour south of Seattle. There aren’t many here in Wa. It was David & Goliath for sure, and the city has its own homeless and high crime areas, etc. The voters voted NO. It was so amazing. I live in a city that does now. I’ve seen the negative effects from it. I fight the banking reform they want, etc. We never see the taxes that were suppose to supplement projects, help schools. Etc. Just like alcohol and lottery. I never see anything from the money it takes in from it. City’s buy into the extra tax incentives but they’ll never see it. Also, the black market totally moves in & takes all the customers away with lower costs. We’ve had horrible robberies at these “ high security” places too. They promised no extra crime around them & ample security w/ cameras. Now, they want to use taxes from the sales to pay for armed guards. There’s goes ANY benefit from it. 🙈 Looking into this industry was first time I realized our gov. agencies are incompetent & not regulating anything.
