if you could tax good weed, at decent to high prices, making it legal only to buy there, and encourage farmers to sell to the clinics. Taxes on pot sales from distributers to US, and then from the US to the customers should do wonders.

not to mention I'm sure alot more people would prefer to get a job farming legal weed then say corn, smoke what you want and work.

it's a costly thing to keep illegal, lot of wasted money and time in the prosecution of marijuana based charges, with the defendants usually just being normal people that wanted some herb, bloating some of the system with basically frivolous court cases.

if it were legal, Big Tobacco would be one of the first to open up factories etc to prepackage weed like cigarettes, which should open up even more jobs.

just me 2c.
