The pro-pot posters on this board seem to make whatever argument suits them at the time. Some say to legalize it, regulate it, and tax the hell out of it. Then you come along and say legalize it and it will be cheap.

Well, what's it gonna be, people?

Let's leave it just like it is. Ain't it wonderful? We've got the whole underworld smuggling, killing and laundering U.S. currency.

Without having lived in the contraband substance world - you couldn't understand the nuanced systems of relationships and distribution channels. It's really like one large multilevel marketing scheme that can change directions of flow in short order. Then when anyone is "busted" and branded with some label that handicaps employment opportunities, what might be the vocation of choice? - - - - - Hey, can you help me move these baggies of (your choice)?

The total U.S. illicit drug market is about $60B. Marijuana represents about $10B of that.

Legalize marijuana and you still have $50B of "underworld smuggling, killing and laundering U.S. currency".

Unless, of course, you are proposing the legalization of ALL drugs. Are you?
