All three of these hosts are clueless. I doubt any of them have ever used it and have bought into the false propoganda that's been force-fed to this country for decades. The poll choices are also ridiculous... it implies that no one wants it legalized for any reason other than financial gain. Want to keep it out of your little brothers' hands? Have it sold in a regulated shop where they check ID, instead of on the street corner where they'll sell to any kid who has a few bucks.

Dear Fox Providence management, please replace the useless ignorant dolts you have as anchors, they know absolutely nothing (at least about this subject) and in that case should not be reporting. Or at the very least please educate them beforehand on the subjects they will be reporting, the lack of actual knowledge is sad and embarrasses you.

First off COCAINE IS NOT NATURAL! Cocaine is syntheticly derived from COCA LEAVES (natural leaf which you chew and the effects are very similar to caffeine). Please do research Fox

"So now he opens up his own little freelance business"

If its an illegal business, charge him as such. A pound of meat isnt going to get me arrested, should i start a freelance street corner meat selling business? Well i could but i would get arrested because i dont have the proper qualification to sell meat products. Its how things work you dolt. Furthermore what percentage of people would buy street corner meat over stuff in a store? Same thing with cannabis.

"So, now we're going to become state drug dealers?"

NEWSFLASH you already are! What do you call alcohol and tobacco you nit whit? Both drugs responsible for thousands of deaths, cannabis on the other hand is responsible for a total of 0 in over 4000 years of use. So even if cannabis is illegal, which drug dealers are worse for society? Cannabis or tobacco/alcohol?

"No way, because whats next?"

This is the one of the main issues with prohibition, these people were fed the "all illegal drugs are killers" bs, its not the truth and in no way reflects the actual reality. Cannabis is safer and less addictive then caffeine, people actually die from caffeine use, cannabis not so much.
