Ironically the reasoning in #1 also applies well to legalizing things in various communities. (Without a legal source, some people will see out illegal businesses, drive crime, etc.). I don’t see “go to the neighboring state” as a solution if they all ban X… I really don’t know what the solution is. Used to think I was in favor of legalization of some drugs, not because I’m interested in their use but as a tool to take power away from gangs and reduce crime. Later visited a state that did… Actually seeing marijuana stores everywhere was very unsettling. Weird seeing fast food stores converted to them. Saw some high hippies crash their vehicle into their friend’s car door while it was opening. Barely even registered for them… Left a bad taste in my mouth… Bu it does seem reasonable that the fewer service members interacting with dishonest/criminal organizations, the better.
