I think gambling is next

Not a big fan of making weed available to everyone. Most people can handle it fine but it does ruin some lives.

That said, it already is available to everyone. The fact that it is illegal makes it ruin even more lives. Instead of getting tax revenue from the sale of this crap we pay money to criminalize and incarcerate.

To add to this, the fact that alcohol is legal, which has similar if not worse issues with addiction and mental impairment makes it simply illogical for weed to be illegal.

Now I can see some big free agent signing in the making!!!

Good news!

All vices are actually made worse by labelling them as such.

New Years Eve is going to be LIT

It looks like Chicago will be very attractive for big name NBA free agents after all

It's been illegal all this time? Hadn't noticed.

Smh Illinois out of all states should not have weed legalized. The crime rate is going to increase even more now in result to this.

Is a leftist running the town?

You might be surprised at how many uneducated folks still place weed on the same level as crack, meth and heroin.

Weed is ONLY dangerous if you get arrested for possessing it.

IL should be embarrassed about the margin of that vote.

History has shown us what prohibition era brought on more crime because people wanted to still drink

I wonder how long it will take before there are shops you can just walk into. Whether medical dispensaries will just be converted to recreational or what.

Therory? Weed can cause phycosis in some people with underlying mental health disorders. People who would not have used the drug due to consequences will now be able to use it without any penalty. Thus some people who have not had mental health issues in the past who take weed, can start to trigger these issues leading to violence.
