For sure. As soon as you legalize pot it gets rid of the drug dealers selling it. sure, they will still sell coke and meth and other things, but not pot. You also create jobs as people grow, cultivate and sell it. You can add a tax on it that goes directly towards education and treatment for those addicted to it and you could even force sellers to give buyers information about the bad things pot could do to them.
Not too mention as soon as pot is legal so will be hemp and we can use hemp for a ton of things. Hemp is a kick ass cash crop, but we don't grow it because it looks like pot and our leaders are idiots.
