Some questions to consider:

1. Will we be charging the same price for pot as the present underworld?

2. If pot substitutes for alcohol, which many proponents of change are suggesting, will the money made on pot be offset by reduced alcohol sales?

3. Wouldn't the vast majority of pot users grow their own, and if so how would this affect the economics?

4. Where did the $6. billion dollar figure come from?

5. If the underworld loses the sale of pot to adults, would they focus more on kids, or much harder drugs, to maintain their income?
