but i think the tax revenue is only a small part of the money the gov't would get, take into account the cost on police going after pot dealers. How about the 4 RCMP officers who where killed in 2005 in Mayerthorpe, wasnt it a grow op there they went to shut down.

The gov't could also legalize pot but say you cant grow your own. You would need to jump thru a few legal hoops first like getting a building permit or business licence. Sure a few people would still do it but the vast majority of people would go buy from a store.
