40. Both of those articles seem short sighted to me

it's like complaining the mob was still being targeted after prohibition ended.

I have been smoking pot for over 30 years and I have only recently bought it legally. The experience buying it legaly is a much better one than I ever had in my previous 30 years.

all these years later the mob is out of the liquor business and there are very few arrests for alcohol trafficking is that a bad thing?

Are you suggesting they should stop arresting street vendors when it is perfectly legal to go into a store and buy weed that is guaranteed to be not only good quality but the amount you buy is actually what you receive?

Sorry not buying the poor drug dealer line even though I participated in one way or another myself for nearly 30 years.
