There's a thread going on the Mag about this ordinance, and after reading through what some participants have had to say about it, I am STUNNED, completely and totally stunned that the BoS passed this. And the timing is such that no measure can get onto the ballot in time for this year's vote, as I understand it, they would need to hold a special election. Perhaps a recall election could be rolled into that, eh?
Of course, this could end up, very well likely will end up pushing the price of a pound back up. Push it back underground, add risks to the game again, and what happens? Especially if it's occurring in conjunction with storefronts closing, people WILL have their meds and they'll go black market if they have to.
