in New York City cigarettes are taxed so much that two out of every three cigarettes sold are sold on the black market. Which funds islamic terrorists. The same thing will happen with legal marijuana. If the stupid state wants to tax it so much; it will be cheaper to buy it on the black market which funds the drug dealing murderous cartels.

Yes, a sufficiently stupid government could make legalization no better than the current policy - but since only NYC has done it with tobacco, and no U.S. jurisdiction has done it with the mind-altering drug alcohol, it seems the odds are it won't be done with marijuana.
