Not to mention the boost to the GDP through hemp and import(mail orders cha-ching!) of marijuana to other countries where it is illegal. If you combined the legalization of marijuana and the drilling for oil in the US, the US would have the wealthiest citizenry in the world percapita by far in 5 years or less. Small business and big business alike would profit. Talk about a real stimulus plan. Simple, yet effective.
I’m always amazed that a “free” people would allow any gov’t to tell them what they can and cannot consume. For their own good, of course ;)
