that's exactly right. it would not be hard for the government to turn a profit on cannabis. look at what they've done to cigs. i know that at least new jersey and ohio both have a $1 per pack tax on them(lived in both). u gonna try and tell me that they cant do the same for pot because what? it's green? come on.

the fact is that ever since the jimmy carter administration left office, drug catagorization decisions have been made not by medical professionals, but by lawyers, law enforcement officials, and politicians. basically, no one that knows jack shit about the substance itself or it's affects on the human body. this is y it's still a "schedule 1" narcotic; right up there with herion. as long as it stays in that catagory, it will NEVER be legalized. and u can rest assured that as long as the republicans r in the white house, that's not gonna change.

sorry to be so negative, but that's the hard truth imo.
