Just think if pot could be legalized and taxed. Nice chunk of revenue; the courts wouldn’t be packed to the rafters; put some thugs and wannabes out of business. I look forward to my retirement and potentially being able to sit on my deck as the sun is setting with my glass of wine in one hand and my pipe in the other…
Great job HPD! Get that noxious weed out of our town! Courts please don’t let us down.
