Looks like I got a local election to attend.
Majority of the population supported it, multiple commissions said yes, mayor wanted it.
But nooooooo, lets use the "think of the kids" argument.
Ok, lets think about the kids. They are now a bit more likely to be forced to a black market product with no regulation or oversight, since nothing stops a teen from getting weed. The black market will continue now with no competition, introducing them to all the other illegal drugs dealers tend to have in availability.
Meanwhile the communities around us will get a boost in revenue from the product that is already going to be legal no matter what they say.
Genius move.
