"Blah blah blah Tax Revenue blah blah blah"

Yep. I was wondering why states weren't legalizing pot by only decriminalizing possession. IOW, you can grow it yourself and have it in your home, but you still can't buy or sell it.

And then it hit me: they only want the tax revenue and to hell with anything else.

Because that would put only the smallest of dents in cartel pot profits. Many people aren't in a position to grow their own, or simply want to get their product ready-to-use.
