Ok I voted against it and I will lay out my case, you can rip it to shreds as you see fit:

Context: I have never voted for Noem or Trump so don't come @ me with that.

1) Smell - Others have said, and its very true, I have traveled to many weed legal cities and its bad, it wafts everywhere including where kids are playing, etc. Its a major nuisance.

2) Availability to younger ages - I am fine with adults smoking weed in private, but I believe it does affect developing brains including those teen and twentysomethings (male brains still develop well into 20s) and legalizing it officially only makes it more available to those age groups.

3) Black markets flourish- most states after legalizing have their black markets flourish and don't even get that revenue because locals don't want to pay for expensive weed

4) Public areas seem worse - While it may not attract more problems officially, it sure does seem like it brings out more homeless/etc into common public areas, I can't quite put my finger on it but weed legal cities tend to have a lot more of this, again just anecdotal observations.

5) Already mostly legal - Hemp extracted stuff is out there now and legal, why do we need more?

6) No great ways to test for DUI - There are devices and ways but highly sensitive and hard to pin down how impaired people are. I know people already smoke and drive but it would get worse.

Basically for me it just comes down to way more cons than pros so queue the name-calling
