I'm certain the drug trade will, to a certain extent, recession-proof BC. And I can see why legalization activists would trumpet the tax implications: it brings non-marijuana users around to their cause. It's actually a very rational argument. I think organized activists have realized that their best bet is to chip away at marijuana laws rather than go for broke. They've been very successful in doing so, to the point where we now have people like Mr. Nash legally growing marijuana for commercial sale to an albeit limited market. Those baby steps are starting to amount to huge strides.
