The report also estimates that marijuana legalization would yield tax revenue of $2.4 billion annually if marijuana were taxed like all other goods

Why would it be taxed like other goods (say candy or batteries) and not like alcohol and tobacco?

Don't want to see the DEA move under the ATF?

How much would enforcement of "over 18/21" sales restrictions cost? How much do they cost for tobacco and alcohol today? Or should marijuana be exempt from age restrictions?

WTF! Also consider it's the laureate of a nobel prize who wrote the article...Do you think he's retarted? Common, i'm trying to have a serious discussion about serious matter...

Put it in the same category as cigarettes. They will find out what real punishment is when they try to light up and the smoking nazis descend upon 'em like the wrath of Hell.

The potheads will be trying to get it made illegal again!!!
