I'm going through the History of Rome podcast right now, and man, emperors with literal harems would have their wives executed for adultery
Rome was, uh, not an empowering place for the ladies
Depends on the timeframe and class.
Like Rome during the pax romana actually had a surprising amount of legal representation for women, and there's plenty of reason to believe that women were actually far more sexually empowered than the Romans liked to admit in public. Like Augustus was notoriously conservative on sexual mores, tried a ton of Family Values legislation, and they were pretty famously known for being completely ineffectual. Divorce on equal terms was common, and at least some brothels offered services for women as well as men. When Augustus exiled his own daughter Julia for sleeping around it caused a pretty big stink in Rome, despite pretty much everyone agreeing that oh yeah, she totally slept around. Compared to say, Greece, Rome in the first and second centuries was a pretty great place for women.
Rome's sexual licentiousness also horrified a lot of its foreign subjects, and as power eventually shifted away from Rome the legal and cultural limitations on women began to clamp down as well.

There's organized crime frequently when a government makes something illegal;
Prohibition made the mob a pretty penny according to what little history I know.
Listen, we all know the only reason weed is illegal is because of the massive industrial shift that would occur if hemp became legal and industries could use that for materials as opposed to paper.
I'd rather encounter 100 stoned dudes than 100 drunk dudes at 2 am as I'm sure we all would.

On the Octopie front I heard on the radio about domestically-based marijuana growers and about how the ones in Washington state have begun exporting more and more product to the East Coast as the inevitable legal growers will push them out of local selling.

I kind of worry about who Stan is.
And why Will seems reluctant to call him.
On the one hand, it's likely just Will's boss, and Will might not call him because he's afraid of tell his boss he fucked up.
But on the other hand, the douchebros were shitty douchebros, but might not deserve whatever fate is coming for them should someone higher up get involved.

And unlike bear it can make others around you high as well
I don't need more idiots with that shit
I may or may not reek, however.
i can't make people high
for one, he's talking to his girlfriend, who of course will take his side
for two, even though the product he was delivering is illegal, the people at that party robbed and assaulted him
