I feel like you missed the tongue-in-cheek aspect of this article.
It's essentially a list of positive changes stemming from legalizing marijuana under the guise of "unintended consequences" (the poor hippies!) that will also seem beneficial to many.
The funny thing is that the farms that supply dispensaries need labor and often pay under the table. One of these kids could make a few hundred bucks a day for a week trimming and then use that cash to do a fair bit of traveling. Nobody is getting disenfranchised here, it's just a bit for the article to get your attention.
EDIT: What is with people deleting comments lately? So you're comprehension on a subject wasn't perfect and sparked a discussion, big deal! It's nothing to be embarrassed about, people make mistakes. Look at my past comments, I say stupid crap all the time and nobody has taken my keyboard away....
- seldo 13y agoI didn't take the article as tongue-in-cheek, I took it as a serious list of the positive benefits of legalizing weed, and took it as an opportunity to soapbox for the benefits of legalizing everything else.
- tankbot 13y agoThat is what it was about, but didn't you notice it was written from the perspective that legalizing is bad because it's hurting this group of people? There's a significant dose of irony here.
