3. I disagree, the people are already being taxed by the war against cannabis.

The money is either going to the major drug syndicates, the DEA or the for profit prison industry, not to mention paying off officials at all levels of government.

Families have been torn apart and poverty increased as a direct result of having the world's largest prison population with the majority being behind bars for cannabis.

There need be no heavy taxation of legalized cannabis to provide relief to the tax paying public nor to create a most positive economic impact on society in general.
