You've made my case, far better than me.

If you think that, then you did not understand what I wrote. The price of alcohol under Prohibition at least tripled compared to what consumers paid for alcohol prior to it.

If you put prohibitive taxes on a product, the criminals step in. If mj were reasonably regulated and taxed, like alcohol, there would be only a small fraction of the profits that currently exist for terrorists and organized crime. Do you disagree?

"If mj were reasonably regulated and taxed, like alcohol, there would be only a small fraction of the profits that currently exist for terrorists and organized crime."

--Just so no one misunderstands, I'm refering to profits from the mj market.

I understood completely... but.. we don't live in the 20's 30's or 60's anymore.

Welcome to the new world.

The Anti smokers, and MADD, changed the rules.

Your's will be far worse.

"If mj were reasonably regulated and taxed, like alcohol"

What makes you think it would be? Why wouldn't mj be unreasonably regulated and taxed like tobacco?

I mean, if you're going to insist on the rest of us accepting your fantasyland scenarios, why don't you ask our opinion if mj were reasonably regulated and UNtaxed?
