MSNBC Host, Guest Wish Each Other ‘Happy 4/20’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
MELVIN "State economists of the supporters. State economists revising their forecast saying pot sales would generate somewhere around $58.7 million in the fiscal year, that's down from a $67 million estimate. Talk to me about the economic reality so far. Is recreational pot bringing in the tax revenue supporters had promised it would?" 
GRIMM: "Well, it's bringing in, you know, some tax revenue. That's more than they were getting before and it's certainly saving the state a lot of money in terms of incarceration and enforcement, but I think, you know, another thing that points to is that a lot of the reefer madness stuff we've been hearing for the last 75 years isn't actually true. It's not, you know, pot is not necessarily the kind of drug that as soon as it's made legal, everybody's going to become a stoner and start smoking all day, you know, people who really, really wanted to be stoners before Denver and Colorado legalized marijuana, they were already stoners and smoking all day. So what this did is it kind of brought it out into the open, it regulated it. There's definitely, you know, risks associated with legalization that, you know, children, you know, could get their hands on it more easily than they could before, but what this shows is this is not some type of addictive drug that's going to spread epidemic style throughout the community." 
MELVIN: "Ryan Grimm, thank you, sir, appreciate that. Happy 4/20 to you. 
GRIMM: "Happy 4/20 to you."
