I were to legalize and regulate the production and sales of marijuana similar to the way we regulate alcohol we would deprive these cartels of most of their income and make them much smaller and much less of a threat. And in 20 years, the liberal ambulance-chasing lawyers will be droning on and on about the evils of "Big Pot" the way they now do about "Big Tobacco."
I'll get the popcorn.
Cheers!

Will we see a "Starbongs" on every corner?
Will Michael Phelps finally have an endorsement contract he can count on?
Cheers!

This would likely reduce the amount of crime occurring in America's cities as well. Modern drug gangs are shooting up our cities just like Capone and his like did back in the 1920’s. If you take away the gangs’ main source of money, pretty soon they will be unable to finance their endless conflicts and will like fade into obscurity.

And in 20 years, the liberal ambulance-chasing lawyers will be droning on and on about the evils of "Big Pot" the way they now do about "Big Tobacco." It would still beat the way it's regulated now. Money from Big Pot would not be fueling the cartels as it is today.
