yeah, well, there's going to have to be a lot of litigation to ensure that anybody that was fined or jailed in the past receives the proper compensation, in terms of mass reparations.
i'm not joking. this is going to cost billions. and, the longer they put it off, the more it's going to cost.
had they legalized it in the 70s, they wouldn't be paying out at all.
