It should also be noted that anyone who smokes marijuana or grows it for business purposes should NOT support full legalization. In California they did a study recently which found that marijuana was a $17B industry, and stated that if taxed it could raise approximately $9B. This is an over 50% tax. This would mean that an eigth that costs $60 now would be close to $100 if it was taxed.
i dont necessarily agree with the lazy aspect of americans not growing. ppl are afraid to, and for good reason. also, the whole "tax raising an 1/8 from an average of $60 to $100", that's only if the current price of illegal marijuana stays the same, which, imo, would not happen. it doenst cost much money at all to grow cannabis, and even with a substantial mark-up, if mj was made legal, theres no way it would cost the same as it does now.
