How, you might ask, by linking weed with meth, not even kidding. That, and complaining that they couldn't distinguish between textiles or smokables. Yeah, no shit...but it wouldn't matter if it was decriminalized or legalized....and apparently that little thought escaped them. They couldn't think past their cash cow, couldn't imagine a world in which it didn't exist...and presented with a proposal that would remove it they failed to realize that and strangely began to babble about how it would be hard to find all the "bad pot" that would no longer be a thing, how difficult their jobs would be, how much funding they would lose.
Not to mention the extra, off-the-budget cash that comes from auctioning property seized as "drug forfeitures". If you're getting that much gravy out of the system, would you want to learn the difference between industrial hemp, some fine indica, and crystal meth? Hell no -- put them all in a category, and go out and buy that APC with twin .50s you've been wanting.
