"Decriminalization of minor possession and expungements should be the way forward (on marijuana), not Colorado-style commercialization," argues SAM president @KevinSabet in his latest commentary for @WSJ :

Opinion | The High Price of Federal Marijuana Legalization

A better way would be decriminalization with heavy regulation and no role for Big Tobacco.

Big admission from the industry: “We have not been successful in California getting people to adopt the regulated market in any large way.” New York is on the same path as California. Legal weed doesn’t shrink the black market, it expands it.

The black market strangled California's legal weed industry. Now it's coming for New York.

Lax enforcement has allowed illicit sales to flourish — with little incentive to go mainstream.
