Yes...it would boost revenues for the city and also stop using the police for petty weed crimes. In a 100 years we're all going to look back and wonder why it took so long
I live in a state where weed is legal with a medical card.
Yes then Toronto could do it and then it would start to ber legal all over the U.S. and Canada and then we tax it... Atleast with pot you cannot OD... It is Non-addictive Natural Growing Plant and well maybe it will stop kids from trying that legal to buy "Bathsalts" that is sold to anyone over the counter at the local Kwik-E-Mart.
Bathsalts seem to be some harsh stuff even worse than other drugs but we made all those safer less drugs illegal so they make this bathsalt stuff to replace it... which no one knows what the effects are long term or short term... Atleast with pot we know the side effects and it has been well studied and documented and pot has yet to make people so messed up they bite a persons face off like what happend in Florida a week or so back.
then again i live in Vancouver and pot is semi legal and we are doing ok the worse thing is maybe people drive under the influence but people do that with Alcohol all the time.. So people just need to use it in a responsible way and then there will be no issues with it being legal.
I live in Michigan and I know Detroit pretty well. Yeah, Ann Arbor decriminalized pot a long time ago, but Detroit is something different altogether.
When you hear about the NY ghetto or Chicago's ghetto you think horror. Detroit's ghetto is quite wicked.
Even if they decide to legalize possession up to an ounce - Detroit has much bigger problems. A gun would be found on half of the people searched.
The last thing Detroit needs is people standing on the corner openly passing out dope (less than an ounce) and smoking it. It's not like they don't already do it, but this would make it acceptable in the eyes of the law/actually weakening law enforcement's mission. The unimaginable task of cleaning up Detroit.
Detroit is broke. And they are asking the state of Michigan to bail them out. Don't know what's going to happen yet.
The Detroit metropolitan area is the size of Rhode Island. The drugs are already there. Decriminalizing marijuana in an area of that size, advertises to the traffickers that Detroit is a drug friendly city.
Everything that comes into Detroit, gets disseminated throughout Michigan, especially up the I-75 corridor. Flint, Saginaw, Bay City and beyond are effected by this.
Why encourage more criminal behavior? I really hope my state doesn't go this way.

Detroit has had corrupt mayors for decades. But I don't think Dave Bing is into that kind of stuff.
What real salesmen are you talking about? The mafia?
Anyone that wants to sell it legally.
