Yeah Akuma I get your point on sending that money to other countries. I just edited and added the volume of consumption. It's roughly one /thirtieth the consumption of tobacco in weight. I wonder if the price is comparable? Yes there is monetary incentive for industry to legalize it, I just don't think the revenue would be a panacea for economic problems, as I've heard elsewhere (I haven't really directly been debating you, I've really just been arguing to myself on the situation). I don't even think revenue would reach what gambling, tobacco, or alcohol are at. I see the logic behind everything your saying.
Good point about the money staying in the economy though. I don't think it would spawn a large industry growth, maybe some. In fact, you would probably have philip morris and other companies just convert some of their fields to marijuana, in place of tobacco (because the market is currently shrinking).
I guess it would allow for a lot of small start up head-shops.
I like legalizing marijuana so her, brother hemp can get a fair chance.
Not to mention Cocaine and Heroin, are where all the real money is being made. Should we legalize those, or simply decriminalize?
