Mr. Ryan discloses he is part of a "group" LEAP wishing to end the prohibition of marijuana. Is he, or any member of his "group" a paid lobbyist? If you don't know the difference between a gang and a cartel, you best get up to speed. Much of the marijuana and cocaine that comes into the USA is controlled by the Mexican mafia and its street level muscle and distribution network MS-13. This is not to say there is not an unholy alliance with other criminal networks, including the Russian mobsters. All of these so called advocates for decriminalization and creating cottage industries of growers and selling kiosks aren't telling you they have helped turn heroin into the drug of choice based upon price and availability. The Health department stats are there, the director has talked about it but the media for the most part has dropped the ball covering this story....Potential advertising and revenue considerations now trumps news gathering and journalism. So for all those who think marijuana is a harmless drug, a cash cow, a tax revenue source, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. While you are at it, why not put a price tag on a human life because that is what this has degenerated to, a cost/benefit analysis for a few wealthy, connected people who want to jump on the bandwagon, the consequences be damned.
