you know, i guess in addressing the original question, i think the other speakers, there's a lot of merritt to what they're saying, but go slow. marijuana's been illegal for 80 years. millions and millions of people have been arrested in our country. i'm tired of it. these laws are fundamentally racist in their implementation. they are damaging good people's lives. we need to stop arresting people for marijuana. the state should get on board with this. you need to be thoughtful having said that, about how you set up the regulations. we sat down and said we're going to be the first state to legalize marijuana ever. we're going to try to come up with regulations that make sense. in order for us to crystalize this and do it in a way that we can convey this abstract concept to the public, we call it the campaign to regulate marijuana like alcohol. when you think about doing that, people 21 and older it's taxed, regulated. that's the beginning framework i believe states should look at when considering passing these laws. >> i think the states were always meant to be if laboratories of democracy
