The reasons I don’t think a state like Texas will ever legalize recreational marijuana are the same reasons I’d be okay with them doing it. Regulate it like they do liquor here. TABC and cities already control how many liquor licenses that can be issued. Could do the same for weed shop so that you don’t have them on every street corner and use the same advertising laws to prevent the other problems you mention. I’m neither for or against legalization. I simply don’t care any more. I am tired of the federal government telling me what is and isn’t okay though.
