I whole-heartedly agree. However, we have seen that the economic benefits of legalization are largely overlooked/ignored by the people who are against it from a moral stand point. Those people tend to be conservative voters anyways, but not always.
But yeah I agree, it hasn't been brought up much, and I think that shows that there is legitimacy to the benefits. Otherwise, Harper would be trying to hammer the other two parties on it.
