Too many people and institutions make huge profits by keeping pot illegal. The police, privately owned "probation departments", the courts,DEA, the prisons....all of this for a weed that is not addictive and a helluva lot safer than alcohol. Yes, look at the empirical data, we no longer have the easy availability for kids to alcohol, that we had during prohibition. It's the same with pot, just like the neo-cons say about their guns...outlaw guns and only outlaws will have guns...Our "free enterprise", whether it's the black market or the "legal" market, is meant to drain the the already impoverished. If anyone believes that banksters don't finance illegal drugs so they can make huge profits, just look at the "derivatives" market. They will do whatever it takes to profit obscenely. That is all our nation is about now. If pot was sold legally and regulated, then the availability to children would practically diminish. Do you see any "pushers" on the street corner selling alcohol? Well, in some of the "dry counties" of Kentucky maybe....
