Let reality and reason begin to inform policy in Wyoming. Colorado and other legalized Marijuana States are only now beginning to see the big flaws in law enforcement, healthcare issues, and bottom-line buy-ins that marijuana is the best healer of pain. It's dope, folks. It affects people more adversely than proven FDA healthful uses. It's hype, a lie, and the addicted life ruins families, education, and productivity. The overall cost is more to mitigate these social and individual ramifications than it brings money to the state. Further, it will be on the State of Wyoming to monitor, test, and develop oversight, and that will cost a great deal and expand government overreach into our lives.
