Well, just look at as, it's still illegal, and it still takes a dealer to get it from unless you live in a MMJ friendly state, or you grow it yourself in which almost any of those options has risk...personally, I'm really tired of living with those risks, so, if legalization means, no more pot dealers, and they either let us legally grow it, or buy it from a store without fear of prison, I'll be totally down with all the pot dealers for prophet suddenly being out of the picture.
I want the farmers to get a shot at growing and selling weed to supply the whole country, not just someone running a large illegal grow house and making it so expensive that only the rich can afford their meds.
It ain't just for one or even a handful of people getting rich from cannabis sales, but the potential tax dollars that could be generated to help this country out of debt as well.
Pot dealers are only out for their own prophets that could be better used to make this a great country again.
