TAX POT TO HELP PAY FOR FIGHT AGAINST DRUG CRIMINALS

Great reporting on the dangerous synthetic marijuana called The Izms.

Good news not seeing advertisements for this chemical concoction in 
stores anymore.

I am concerned that now that they have been kicked out of stores, 
they will go underground, making policing very difficult.

Salvia Divinorum, an ancient natural legal plant, is also out there 
in stores and is even more dangerous. Combating these drugs will 
require a lot of expensive police resources to be paid for by tax dollars.

The government should legalize and tax marijuana the same as alcohol 
and tobacco to pay the cost of fighting drug criminals.
