Revenue
The USA was founded and supported on Tobbacco and alcohol taxes, for over 200 years the Government has profited by these two items. Pot would bring in tax money in one year what those two products brought in 200 years. Its dirt cheap to grow and process. Our government has no sense. We could bail out this country with this simple product being made available and taxed.
So we keep it illegal and the only folks making money off it is the criminals? Get real people demand the legalization of this gift.
