Nice comment. And made solely based on this.......

.... it might be true. But you ignored the key point I was making. So I’ll repeat myself...
There is nothing economically conservative about legalizing marijuana. One of the major goals of Prop. 19 is to GROW (not shrink) the size of government and RAISE (not lower taxes).

... sounds pretty shallow when it comes to “repealing arbitrary government regulations” just so you can RAISE taxes and GROW the size of government.
Remember passing Prop. 19 is not done for any free market economic reasons. That might happen - the cartels might go legit and get even richer - just like bootleggers did when Prohibition ended. But again I say...
