The pot industry will certainly generate more than $5Bn in taxes, and will do so quickly. That is not something I'm challenging. What I am pointing out is that the tax revenue comes with a societal cost.
As someone who has a generally socialist viewpoint, I would have thought you would be more understanding of that.

How much usage are you using to classify "pot heads"? There is no DSM entry centred around "pot heads" as far as I know.
Also, you are bad at reading statistics. The article shows it was 28% of teens in 2012 had tried marijuana in the last year. As in, smoked it once or more. I don't think doing anything once classifies you as anything. Well, except murder, that would make you a murderer.
Teens. Always doing the weed and murdering hobos.
