US stayes that legalized weed had all of the predicted positive outcomes like reduced crime related to weed, increased taxes because it is taxed, etc.

You know, the obvious outcomes for anyone who doesn't buy into reefer madness.

The oligarchs need more time to monopolize the market. Can't have folks growing their own plants when there's money to be made now

/s because internet

When we know in reality they needed time push laws through so they can make sure to keep the prisons fill with slave labor.

Legalizing weed would drastically reduce the prison population of America.

And we all know how bad that would be.

They'll figure out another way to get their slaves :/

Who will punch all our license plates?! Imagine the cost to society! /s

Prison slave labor makes a lot more than just license plates.

I am, depressingly, aware. License plates are the stereotypical example (at least in my mind).

It's absolutely fucking atrocious that anyone is allowed to profit off prison labor. At the very least those funds could be sent to halfway homes but they should probably just be paid to prisoners.
