The authors of this report do not understand the economic issues involved in keeping marijuana illegal. Marijuana usage dwarfs the usage of every other controlled substance, and the civil seizure law's off-budget incomes for law enforcement agencies is off-budget revenue for those agencies that they don't have to go crawling hat-in-hand to the legislatures to get authorization to use. That is why the federal law enforcement authorities sponsor phony-balony science trying to make out as if marijuana usage has serious health effects. The blow to law enforcement income from marijuana legalization will never come close to matching the horn of plenty they have now.

Interesting post, thanks! Your right that a lot more depends on the illegal status of marijuana... All the other industries would suffer from that, but i personally wouldn't mind...They are the industries (especially the black gold industry) making our world (planet) going wrong... Evil's winning...

About as constitutional as emminent domain has become.

The cheerleaders of the oppressive non-founding principles statists here makes one want to puke.

I don't want or need Govt, or anybody else, to presume to tell me what to do or not - and as long as one's actions do not interfere with another person's rights - it/they shouldn't.
