MARIJUANA is not panning out as the ultimate GOVERNMENTAL CASH COW. Legalizing ACID has a better chance at filling government and pharmaceutical coffers.
I take it you've never tried LSD.
Acid will never be a popular recreational drug like marijuana is. It's just too powerful. You can smoke some weed and go about your day. Typically, not on acid. Whereas people smoke marijuana daily, LSD is a "once or twice a year" type of experience. Furthermore, there's no great public movement to legalize it.
As far as cash cows are concerned, Colorado sold $1.3 billion in marijuana last year. That's pretty significant.
“Legalizing ACID has a better chance at filling government and pharmaceutical coffers.”
Sure, because a chemical that can be cooked up for pennies in a few hours (and is only used by a fraction of the people that use marijuana) is going to make more money than a plant that requires labor, fertilizer, water, electricity, and months to grow.
