Great read from one perspective. This is a contentious issue for me and to an underlying thorn in the fabric of our American society. The same substance that has over the years destroyed millions of lives and ripped thousands families apart is now being marketed as a revolutionary yet the economic benefits seem to favor some predominant groups over anothers.

What about changes in the criminal justice system? Do they get reprieve? The taxes being generated should alleviate some of the financial burdens those persecuted for its possession are going through. How about the high costs of inclusion? It costs over a million dollars to get into the industry in WA state. Lets not even bring up who owns over 90% of the legalized marijuana industry.

It's a very skewed and exploitive industry. Would have been nice to see you acknowledge some of the challenges facing the market and those directly affected by these economic opportunities.
