    Rich get richer, garbage saying this will bring economic growth. No the rich will extract $ from the community while offering under paid jobs. The 700 page legalization law only allows for the rich to pull this off and keeps out the middle class. They will continue their monopoly approach with artificially high prices and low paying jobs to EXTRACT wealth from depleted communities

    This for white south suburban weed customers because blacks and Latinos will continue to buy their weed on the street because the government weed cost way more than weed on the streets.

    Awesome! When will cocaine and prostitution get legalized? I’m guessing next election?!?!

    This is why we have such an increase in crime. Nobody pays $25 per 3/4 gram so they get illegal and then come the wars in the streets.

    Hemp is just as valuable and pulls carbon out of the air more than trees.

    Encouraging drug addiction is foolish. Moreover, marijuana is a water intensive crop.

    As long as it’s $660/oz you’ll still see illegal weed.

    Marijuana is one of the least "green" most energy-intensive crops there is, grown primarily indoors and requires special lighting and environmental controls that consume up to 2000 watts of electricity per square meter 40 times than needed to produce leafy greens such as lettuce. But, hey, you can’t smoke lettuce. A report out of Europe found that the avg. indoor pot-growing operation uses more power than 14 avg. homes. The energy required to grow enough marijuana to make a single joint {one gram} was equivalent to the energy used to drive a fuel-efficient car 20 miles. But dude don’t harsh my mellow. The groundwork is being laid for the further skyrocketing of electricity consumption as more states legalize.

    Marijuana rings votes for the Democrats

    Just what we need, more people to have access to whatever they need to deal with these pieces of shit’s in this comment section. If it wasn’t for weed, there would be a ton more dead stuck up squares in the world!

    Just what we need here. We should give out free handguns with every kilo purchase. Murder, drugs, and casinos. Perfect Chicagoland combination. Bless our wonderful governor, who won’t pay his property taxes, and our great Chicago Mayor
