you are right on one account in my opinion. One of the biggest benefits of decriminalizing drugs is the crushing effect on the drug lords and the violence and crime that come along with it because the stuff is so expensive. Due to the nature of the substance, gov will use that as their license to tax it at a 10,000% rate and negate nearly all of the benefits if legalization as they become the new drug lords. In addition, the ATF will grow exponentially trying to bust the do-it-yourself druggies who are dodging the taxes. Don't forget, that's how we ended up with the 1934 gun control act in the first place... where will this lead to?

There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that taxing the crap will make the problem even worse.

The state from what I am told wants to tax the drugs, think they said it was going to be 15%.
Doesn;t make sense as the argument for making this drug legal was to get rid of the drug dealer.

So if say dope smoker wants his or her drugs then of course they will go to the drug dealer where it is cheaper and where the drug dealer does not tax.

The left again and their stupidity.
