We should have a Wickersham Commission redux to really show how ineffective cannabis prohibition is and how it's lead to a rise in crime.

The people who are still against marijuana legalization don't care about the facts at this point unfortunately. No amount of science is going to convince them. We just have to tell them they are wrong, we are legalizing it, we are expunging the records of the people who were prosecuted, and they have to fucking deal with it.

Having Commission reports at least looks good for you in the history books. I'm sure in the day, they knew the Wickersham Report wasn't needed to show prohibition wasn't working, but nowadays it's good to see the evidence.

Apparently there were a bunch of studies that proved Piracy actually increases video game sales, but the media only references the parts of the study on music and movies.
