During Prohibition we had illegal booze coming in through Canada. After the 21st, suddenly illegal manufactorers and distillers were now legal corporations. Paying taxes and everyone’s happy.
During marijuana prohibition we have illegal dope coming accross the border from Mexico or even grown here in the states by the Cartels. If we legalize it, suddenly the Cartels will become legal corporations paying taxes.
Is that what you want?
Not the same actors, and not performing the same violent criminal acts. Thanks for the pro-legalization argument!
"The lush traffic in alcohol beverages during the violent years of 1920 to 1933 had laid the base of organization for a number of criminal gangs. The termination of the ban on liquor deprived these gangs of their most lucrative source of money" - Special Committee to Investigate Organized Crime in Interstate Commerce
