I've said for years if the Fed legalized pot and TAXED it, and legalized prostitution and TAXED it, the income tax could go away..

You CANNOT legalize MJ ... think of all the damage that would be done to the Pharmacutical and liquor industies if it were legalized !!!! Not even to mention all the people who would be out of work in the law enforcement / penal industry. My God ... if MJ were legalized ... prison guards would probably not have to work so many overtime hours ... at our expense

(from article)Earlier Monday, Hollars was charged in federal court for drug trafficking.

How much will this cost the U.S. citizens and who will pick up the next shipment of cannabis to the Elkhart, IN market? You know there is still a marijuana market there - don't you? Hypothetical - John Q. Public who was arrested a few years earlier or John R. Public who is a close friend of Hollars might become the next purveyor of the Elkhart market. The thing is that there is a healthy growing demand for cannabis. You can't deny it or stop it. All that "our" government can think to do is spend more billions in hard earned tax money and watch the demand for cannabis grow. It could be worse. Those who work in the relatively harmless cannabis industry could move into suppling dangerous drugs.

You know for a supply and demand market such as that of cannabis - with zero federal safety, quality or similar oversight - the whole thing works quite well. I have been around cannabis use for 35 years and it always amazes me how well a market can work in the absence of government interference. Now that is a conservative view point -i.e.- less government.
