    15:05 WRONG. If anything the legalization has done the opposite to eliminate the need for these black market β€œdrug markets”… Illinois charges $450-$550 for an ounce of flower at the dispensary. There’s zero competition, extremely high taxes, very few grower licenses, and absurdly high costs to even apply. Until there’s any competition or semi-reasonable pricing in Illinois those black market $150-$200 ounces aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

    I love how Illinois we circle jerk and pretended as though we were being progressive and trying to help people affected by the war on drugs.
    Turns out that oh we were doing was creating a number of industries that rich folks can control.

    Until the feds legalize and make the process national, prices will stay high and the black market will continue to thrive. Legalization is still incredible, either way, because nobody deserves to go to prison for using/growing marijuana or selling to their friends. Go after the gang suppliers and cartel all you want.

    It’s funny soon as the pandemic hit they legalized weed in Naperville



  10. HG Buckwheat on August 16, 2021 at 10:35 pm

    Make it legal everywhere period. I always say theres 2 sides to everything, but this no debate period. You either want tainted black market products, mass jailing of people, and deaths because of bad product. OR you can not do that. If you don’t like pot, YOU DONT HAVE TO PARTAKE, so f off.



  17. Harlan Mote on August 16, 2021 at 10:50 pm

    Come on Ga. Just do it!!!



  18. Stephen on August 16, 2021 at 10:55 pm

    LOCK EM UP!!!



  19. Vince Evans on August 16, 2021 at 10:56 pm

    But can you grow it in your front yard? That would be legalization. Illinois legalization is clearly about profit and greed as much as it is about medicine and recreation. Greedy pigs



  20. Tony Webb on August 16, 2021 at 10:56 pm

    Ahold one of the marijuana cards in Georgia

    This is a stupid decision just like when they allowed people in Illinois to carry gun for self defense from that day until now the violence increased twice than before. most people now smell like weed instead of smelling Gucci yes keep your brain shutting down by smoking weed. The government don’t want you to wake up. The funny thing is that the state of Illinois going to use the tax money for school and healthcare for better community. yah ok.

    Here is a question I would like answered. Will medical marijuana patients have their information deleted from law enforcement registries? Currently if a medical marijuana patient is pulled over for a traffic stop the officer has access to the fact that the person holds a medical marijuana card. Since recreational users wont be subject to that privacy intrusion shouldn’t the information of a medical card holder now be protected?



  28. Jill Simmons on August 16, 2021 at 11:08 pm

    Will I get my weed back if pulled over and weed is not in appropriate container?
