"Number one I’m not an opponent of legalization provided that adequate resources are from the state’s licensing revenue go to two things. Number one is prevention and treatment for people who have have suffered harm as a result of legalized marijuana and number two trying to improve marijuana detection for such things as driving. We have something for blood alcohol levels, but we don’t have something to determine whether someone’s an unsafe driver. In terms of portioning marijuana dealerships to address social inequities, that sounds like an attractive principle, but I really haven’t had the time to think about it or how it would be implemented." 10/22/21
