Then you are unaware of of the massive amounts of illegal aliens smuggled into this country for the purposes of prostitution, by the very same people who smuggle drugs into this country, the very people you would like to legitimize.

“very people you would like to legitimize”

Huh? The scum would be crushed out of the market in a second.

Phillip-Morris, Altria Group, Reynolds American and Lorillard would take over the market and distribution.

While thinking of Phillip Morris, think about Busch, Coors, Miller Brewing and the like.

Don’t see many Chicago mobsters running them, do you?

Same would happen with legalization.

The underbelly only can survive due to the black market created by government regulation.
