what would be the pont of legalizing cannabis or any other drug for that matter so it can be taxed to raise revenue .Let's face it allot of the people who need to use drugs don't have the necessary social skills or education to hold down a job to pay for it in the first place .All the government will do is keep on increasing the tax on it year after year exactly like they do with all luxuries like cars ,tobacco,alchohol ,untill the people who are addicted can't afford it so the black market springs up again ..like cars,tobacco and achohol
IMO it's a failed idea
