Legalizing the devil weed would remove a major money source from criminal gangs and be a major new source of tax revenues.

If you really believe your hype why aren't you advocating the criminalization of alcohol and tobacco?
Steve, I will answer the same as I did with August . Pot is only part of the larger drug problem. The push for other drugs will become greater and enforcment cost will remain the same. All of this would be great if pot was the only drug around. It is not. It is just one of many that is sold.

Alcohol and tobacco are not part of the conversations but slowly tobacco is being outlawed. You can not smoke anywhere, period. Second hand smoke....so, do we put up with second hand pot smoke now? Can't have it both ways.
