"Long overdue. Still incomplete."
Cannabis polls like a settled question and legislates like a minefield. Majorities support reform in most states, and yet bills stall year after year, because 'reform' is really three different bills with three different coalitions.
Clearing old records, stopping new arrests, and building a legal market each recruit different allies, different enemies, and different fiscal notes. The game makes you pick one, and live with what that choice costs.
Same issue, different ambition, and ambition is what the legislature makes you pay for.
