I think the other factor in this is what pot used to be versus what it has become.

the concentration of THC in todays hydroponic grown stuff is probably about 1000 times more than it once was. Now I agree that restrictions on it should it be legalized would go a long way to controlling what is consumed, but just like you aren't allowed to make 99% alchol content moonshine because it is so potent, then the same would apply to pot or any other drug.

I am all about getting the stuff legalized and the black market getting curbed as it does lead to very very violent things happening. Im not so fond of the gov't getting tax money from it only beause they screw everything up when it comes to that, but I digress. I am merely pointing out that it is not as simple as 'lets make it legal, I can get high, Harper makes money, everybody is happy". There are all kinds of permutations that have to be cosidered.
