$19 million in new tax revenue...the state saved somewhere between $12 million and $40 million in 2012, I presume that property and income taxes will now go down???

You took the quote out of context. The cops supposedly have more time to pursue other crimes being committed.
Supposedly is the operative word. I’d be curious to see if cops are spending more time at the donut shop.

Stop, you’re bringing a tear to my eye.

Better yet, legalize crime.Naw, just the fabricated "crimes" in which all participants are willing adults.

but more money for government is hardly a positive. But this is the point, the whole point, and nothing but the point for legalization.
This, and also to create a greater welfare dependcy base.

Since news satire has become reality does it really matter anymore?

And they probably create less issues than parties where kids get drunk, which have been doing on since the dawn of time.

If you legalize drunk driving, drunk driving arrests will plummet.
To: Rebelbase
It will take more than six months for the addiction and gateway to other drugs affect to surface. By then it will be too late. However, there are deaths directly because of the dope and the increase in DUI from dope smoking dopes.

I bet Doritos sales have soared, too.

[ As are the local police departments who received a large portion of their funding from asset forfeitures. ]
NAILED IT!!!!
Asset Forfeitures do nothing but encourage thug like behavior from our boys in blue.

If you legalize drunk driving, drunk driving arrests will plummet.Drunk driving is a clear and present danger to others. Smoking pot is a clear and present danger to Cheetos.

What about robberies, burglaries and thefts? I would imagine they're up.

They need to balance that $19 million in taxes and the savings derived from redirected law enforcement against the marginal cost of DUI (for example, they didn’t cite it) for the analysis to be credible. As it is, it looks single sided boosterism to me.
