If they do legalize I don't think it will be the picnic some think. Nobody knows if it will make money or not. I don't see any reputable business/company hiring pot smokers (you're good there). Guess there's unemployment, food stamps etc to fall back on though. I'm sure that pot revenue will offset that & not be placed on the tax payers. Who's to say health insurance companies won't triple pot smoker premiums? Who's to say law enforcement won't be given a lot of lead way when it comes to arresting a pot smoking for DUI? Who's gonna regulate the black market & self growers?
Meh, just don't live in Memphis or Nashville. The stats are misleading. You are looking a 2 VERY large metropolitan areas that make up a large part of the population but a small part of the land area. The same can be said for ANY metropolitan area in the US. Get into the rural areas and it is probably on the low end. I will take Nashville and some of the better parts of Memphis over ANYWHERE in Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, LA, NYC, etc. etc.
You use way too big of a brush painting your picture. Some might think your stereotypes of the pot user is somewhat dated.
