Yes. Basically the same rationale is being used/was used for the legalization and taxation of marijuana.
Sow the wind; reap the whirlwind.
Yeah...but even worse, our illustrious “governor,” Jay (aka “Dope”) Inslee (who has done nothing his entire political career except get elected and reelected) goes on some liberal talk show and says Washington State has the best weed. Nice going, Jay-boy. What a pathetic human being you are - as long as WA gets money from drug taxes, anything is fair game. And how would you like it if your kids and/or grandkids wasted the rest of their lives sitting around smoking that great dope and eating Doritos? Kind of a waste of human life, no? And you want to be President of Vice President of the USA?
