"He agrees that taxes and fees will raise revenue, in the same way that legal drugs such as tobacco and alcohol do, but says the money raised will only cover about 10% of the damage that drugs cause - such as traffic fatalities, hospital emergencies, treatment and lost productivity."
Fucking idiots, change weed to ""drugs", red herring shit again.
""There does not seem to be any obvious prospect for change in US policies toward marijuana or other drugs," he adds.""
Fucking idiots, what planet do they live on.

problem with the ideal you present is, think about this...... Yes they will receive tax money from the marijuana sales, but thats where the dollar stops, and there is no more money for them to suck out of the product, no more people getting locked up enabling them to print more money( 30,000$ roughly a year per inmate) when as an ex con know that it doesn't cost that because we are provided with next to nothing..no more murders because of drug deals gone bad, no more busts to glorify the presence of the DEA or the FBI or the CIA its all apart of the plan, they cant very well make more money by legalizing it than keeping it a illegal "drug".... its all a business and thats not a model in which to succeed or gain profit....gotta see it allThat's all this bullshit is about money, If they can get a chunk of it, it will become legal, If they can tax it and get a % they will legaize it, but I don't see it happening for years to come, because it would take years to setup legal shops or setup a way to make sure they get a good part of the money. <3 $$$$
