Sorry didn't have time to elaborate last night, but I just think a lot of people overlook the economic possibilities. I know the government makes a lot of money from locking people up for weed, but that money is just used to sustain the fucking assholes who pass and enforce these stupid laws, i.e. cops, prison guards, judges, parole officers, etc. And I'm not just talking about making money from taxing people that smoke weed, think about how many small businesses would open, paper, textiles, hash bars, head shops, taco bells, etc. All paying taxes and creating jobs. If they did it right it could even bolster tourism. I really think this is a viable solution to a lot of our economic problems. Just my 2cp, but I would like to know what other non-smokers think about this. I'm a little bias, because from time to time I partake.
