You seem to be going really hard at this, Dion. It's almost impossible to not infer that you're against legalization at this point. I'm not so sure about the articles you're posting either, it seems like you're just madly google searching "Colorado legalization issues" and pasting anything that comes up.

Hell, if I cherry pick quotes from your last article, I can paint an entirely different picture. These are all from the article you just posted;

Quote:
In the first seven months, those taxes have generated 24 million dollars in revenue. A chunk of that is slated for public school construction.

Besides he says the legal market offers some things that consumers find more important than the lowest price. Variety, convenience, safety. That’s what drives every product in the entire world. You know, that’s what’s going to drive this market
Quote:
I think it’s absurd for anyone to assume that we can eliminate a black market that grew over 80 plus years within the course of eight, nine months. But we’ve seen this industry take a huge bite out of the underground market.
Quote:
People of color were being disproportionately impacted when it came to marijuana possession, and now whether you’re white, whether you’re black, whether you’re a Latino, you are no longer going to be booked and convicted and treated like a criminal the rest of your life simply for possessing marijuana
Your cherry picking sounds bad, my cherry picking sounds great! That's why cherry picking isn't a great way to go about an argument.
