Bambi is definitely in favor of legalization of marijuana, but one of the things I have never understood is why they think people who have been making a fortune are suddenly going to (a) accept government regulation and taxes; and (b)stop selling the real money-makers (cocaine, etc.). Also, if it’s legalized, the motorcycle gang pot growers up in the foothills of the Sierra will strike paydirt, but I don’t think this is going to extend to Mexicans.

I would imagine that if legalized, the authorities would go after those criminals that are black-marketing the stuff and avoiding the taxes, not the legal users like they do now. If people can grow their own, or buy it from ABC type stores or mom&pop suppliers, then those people making the fortunes now and the gangs, won’t have a market.
