"In general, I think we send people to jail or prison far more than is necessary, and that doing so does not really help people or society.  Marijuana has the potential to create a significant revenue stream, and we already know that WY money is going out of state to buy it, so there is logic in trying to keep that money here.  I lean heavily in favor of these bills, but I would like to see tied to them some funding allocation for substance abuse and mental health prevention programs too."
