So we legalize pot, the guv gets more money and needs to spend less money for enforcement. Does anyone here think that the guv will reduce the amount of enforcement officers?
If they don't, they'll catch more real criminals with actual victims - a plus in my book, and a legitimate function of government.
Of course not. They will do just like they did back around Prohibition. Give ‘em a different job. Even if it is STILL one they aren’t supposed to be doing.
BATFE is the group I’m referencing in case anyone in the gallery missed it...

No they’ll just ship them over to DHS
