Sure, there will be some consequences. But think about all of the people who won't enter adulthood already excluded from the (good) job market because they have a criminal record? I feel pretty confident that this law is going to be a net positive.
Full agreement that it's a net positive. Nobody should ever get a criminal record for using. I just hope that the messaging is clear that because its legal/decriminalized doesn't mean its good for you.
Totally agree. Especially since I have two children rapidly entering that phase of their lives when they will be exposed to the most peer pressure. I hope we take a bunch of the money we'll save on useless enforcement and put it towards education, in addition to rehab and other diversion programs.
