That’s why I say, if you think there’s a War on Drugs now, wait until they’re legal and taxable.

When was the last time you bought moonshine, or bootleg liquor?

If the taxes are set at an appropriate rate, there is no profit motive for a black market. And little incentive for the otherwise law abiding to enter it.

Awesome comment!

The main reason to support marijuana legalization is to rake in all the free money (taxes). The fact the Cartels will undercut sales on the Black Market (Just like mobsters are doing in NYC with cigarettes) is another problem for another day.

But hey. Who cares? Lets legalize pot and grow the gubmint into a huge killing machine with cops as tax collecters!
