I guess I found all of the pot heads.
You forget that people are still smuggling cigs into the US. People are still smuggling and producing illegal alcohol and the ATF spends ALOT of money chasing them down. Like I said, this will simply become another black market industry.All of those gangs were making money selling illegal booze. No parrallels there, right?
Make them legal and there's no problem.
Actually I wasnt comparing the 2 at all. If you read the quote I was replying to you would understand that. My point was that just because something is readily available doesnt mean that it should be legal.This is just ignorant. You can, in no way, compair crack to pot. If you do, then you need to do some more research on the matter.
Actually I think it would be more expensive. The costs of regulating this industry would far outweigh the small amount brought in by taxes. The fact that there would no longer be any fear of arrest for being caught with it, I think it would increase usage and therefore it would increase demand for the illegal product sold at half the price.You really think the war on Drugs will be just as expensive with Marijuana possession excluded?
