That's the whole point of that list. Transitioning from illegal to legal is complicated in ways that don't affect things like coffee that have always been legal - and therefore, many people don't think about, claiming it will be treated "just like legal thing".
- jdminhbg 11y agoI understand the point of the list, it's just that most of the items on the list are not actually issues, or at least not difficult issues, and legalization has gone pretty smoothly in multiple states now. What he fails to take into account is that it actually is easy to just stop throwing people in jail for possession whenever we feel like it, and then take a year or so setting up a licensed legal distribution system.
- caskance 11y agoIt doesn't sound like you do understand the point of the list then. The point is not that any particular issue is unsolvable or even difficult. It's that laymen eagerly suggest naive solutions without even realizing that these issues exist. That's why you need to plan out your project and devote resources to executing it. Amendment 64 was not a single line "marijuana is now legal". The governor even set up a task force to oversee its implementation. And there are still complications due to its contradiction with federal law.
