I take it he loses money if gamblers also smoke marijuana?
I live in Puerto Rico. Ostensibly the case is that we are Catholic and religious. If you read a little more, you get that lots of people possess or buy or sell, but nobody wants to admit it. Then why is the government sustaining such a policy?
The truth is, there must be some people who are obliquely or directly benefiting the sale, distribution and consumption of illegal marijuana. That these same people lose money once marijuana (even medical marijuana) becomes legalized.
Smoking, sugar, alcohol, firearms, ... all these guys have lobbyists in DC or otherwise in order to get their way.
- reverend_gonzo 10y agoI'd venture to bet its more likely that people are more likely to go to the casino and have a few beers than go to the casino and have a few joints. Marijuana generally makes people more relaxed and content to stay at home rather than venture out. Furthermore, someone who is drunk and gambling, will likely make many dumb decisions that are profitable for the casino. It's a lot easier to get a gambler to continue gambling (and losing money) by feeding him more booze. Give him more weed and he'll just fall asleep.
