I found this nifty article on Alternet about projected money the government could make if it would just legalize the herb, treat it like a crop, and tax it. After all these years, I still don’t understand why canibus as the horrible reputation it does. I know one of the arguments against legalization is that the government wouldn’t be able to regulate it, therefore the tax wouldn’t mean anything, since people could just grow their own. However, thinking about that, I don’t really think that would be an issue. I mean, look at the market of produce. People have the option to grow their own veggies, especially in the current time when self-sustaining and eco-friendly options are really pushed. Yet, I haven’t heard anything about how the profit from food has fallen.
Of course, I’ll never understand why booze is legal but pot isn’t.
