According to Regan if you want less of something just tax it!
Will taxing “maryjane” result in less of it? Quite possibly because local politicians will have a vested interest, tax income, to enforce the new laws. The drive for tax money is what lead to the repeal of prohibition in the early 1930s.
Could this approach finally lead to us winning the “war on drugs”? Everything we have tried to date has failed because the locals have no vested interest in enforcing the current laws. Perhaps the drive to get more money, tax based, will change the environment.
Nearly all the pot will come from MS 13 and Mexican narco trafficking gangs.
It's going to be real fun when doper politicians order the cop to collect taxes from Mexican narcos, pretty much all the Mexican cops that tried this had their heads left on the city hall front lawn. The ones that didn't work for the gangs and kill the politicians that don't.
