TAX BENEFITS

Marijuana is a billion-dollar industry that costs the government money
to fight, when it could be reaping the benefits in taxes.

Seems too easy a problem to fix to me. I suppose those of higher moral
value would disagree -- though next time they have to go to an
emergency room and be told to wait 12 months for their MRI, there
might be some change of mind.

Really, why are we letting this criminal element dictate the
rules?

For the record, I am not a pot smoker, and believe that dope is for
dopes, though this really is of no consequence.
