For one, that article is 3 years old.

That's part of the problem- there's 50 million people on the West Coast but the self-appointed "experts" sit in a manhattan/beltway bubble completely friggin' clueless on everything from marijuana legalization to technology.

I'd rather have Gavin Newsom than some East Coast authoritarian like Cuomo-- who sounds like Jeff Sessions when he says we can't legalize weed "because we have a heroin problem" derrrrrp.
