The times they are a changing.... Kerching! Goes the cash register.
Alaska has just gone legal for cannabis. Already there is a surge of entrepreneurs eager to cash in. It is still a ways before stores open and the legal herb is changing hands.
Already the divide is clear. The politicians are all over it trying to stop it. The people who think the politicians they elected work for them are insistent and determined. There are a lot of us on the sidelines watching the action.
I cannot help but think about the moral aspects. Hypocrisy is firmly built into human nature so the clarity is of course not clear. I have seen the mindblowing destructiveness of alcohol all my life. For me to sell it legally would still to my mind be a questionable act with a place high on the guiltmeter. Say by pure unplanned fluke you own one of the best locations in your state to sell the new product. Would you feel moral qualms about having a shop that abides by the laws and restrictions and sells cannabis?
