Apartments and homes with smokers (pot and to a lesser degree tobacco) can cause severe damage to homes, most often interior walls, but sometimes more. Smoke saturates into drywall/sheet rock, causing significant expense to replace it after a Tennant moves out.
More extreme cases have seen actual structural damage from heavy pot use. (Talk to any builders association and most every member has dealt with this). I know a landlord personally that had a tennant do over $45k in damage to a rental due to pot, they had to gut the place. They were good people and reasonable landlords, and the tennant was a bum. Somehow was able to afford a lawyer and tons of pot but had no job. Couldn't pay for the repairs when he lost his suit (yes, he sued the owners for trying to kick him out to save their rental).
FYI tobacco homes can be like this with heavy smokers in the house. That smell never truly goes away.
Talk to residents in states where it is legal. Driving while stoned is a big issue that is played down by the media. A lot of people hurt from stoned drivers. A strangely high proportion of pot smokers drive without insurance, or with a suspended license.
-state crime records. Pick a state, any state.
Crime and homelessness in general increase in legalized pot area.
-state and sheriff records, easy to find with direct correlation to when that state legalized.
If you are a person who doesn't smoke, areas with legal pot smell terrible. I don't mind cigar, pipe, cigarette smoke nearly as much, at least that doesn't have that nasty lingering smell

Gotta give credit where due...I've heard a lot of unhinged lunacy regarding cannabis but this is an absolute first for "Cigarette smoke smells better!" and "The smoke will destroy the structure of a building, you'll have to GUT the place!"
And, while it’s been multiple years so I can’t find the headline, a woman was struck and killed in my hometown by some pothead who couldn’t say no to getting behind the wheel.
This isn’t ibuprofen. I say this as someone who used medical marijuana for PTSD. It needs regulations, just like alcohol.
Only real issues I have with this are practical.

LMAO
pot and joos, the two most divisive topics on this board. Guess chemtrails and flat earth could be in there too kek
Ok, so how about the deaths irresponsible potheads have caused? Just a few from my home area:
2023 in PA
