Heck, I was queasy enough over the questionable morality of state governments utilizing lotteries for revenue. To have a government actually fund itself via dope-peddling is such a degenerate slide that I’d find it difficult to personally grant such a government any legitimacy whatsoever.

The government isn't selling the pot. If you're referring to the tax revenues, how do you feel about the revenues from the addictive mind-altering drug alcohol?

Was it any different before 1913, when the federal government was funded largely though liquor taxes?
