Lets Talk About Pot

I thought it would be a good question to ask why not legalize marijuana for taxes to help ease Taxes and help with deficit, possibly end the border war in Mexico between the drug cartels. Yes it a crazy idea but if pot was legal and the price was controlled maybe we could drive the cartels out of business. But the chances of that happening are remote as the varies PAC's in this country would not go for it because of all the negative propaganda.Medical use is a good idea but then again drug companies couldn't have the monopoly that they now enjoy.Its hard to fight a multi-billion dollar cash business. The lives that the war costs plus the money ,time and resources we putting into it don't justify the end results. The bible belt in this country would never support any outrageous idea like this, but support the poison that is alcohol because of the tax revues it generates or the taxes tobacco generates so sin tax is in and pot is out. Most experts agree that pot is less dangerous than alcohol but its legal and we stuck with it. In a free country like ours you should be able to chose the way you want to go. But the government likes to tell you what you can and can not do. They prefer the poison of alcohol to the munchies.
