My sister came into town from Chicago with her boyfriend.
We went out to celebrate a bit and her boyfriend told me something interesting:
"Hey, did you know that it's now legal to smoke dope in Chicago"
I then asked what the exact law was,
he responded "It's not a criminal offense, but you still get fined if you get caught smoking it"
WOW...
Let's look at this from a business perspective:
Chicago's government tells it's people that smoking marijuana is officially a non-criminal offense but they will still charge you for doing so.
Think about it this way-all of a sudden you can get a nice fat ticket for smoking weed, but you won't be arrested and hardly any paperwork will have to be filled out.
Cops can run around freely handing out tickets for smoking marijuana in the same way they do with parking tickets.
Gov't gets a nice passive income while increasing efficiency of operations and cutting costs by decreasing jail occupancy and paperwork.
The Chicago government officially got into the drug racket, for free, without lifting a finger.
What do you guys think? Opinions and thoughts would be interesting on this one!
Cheers,
