Tax revenues aren't the only reason to legalize it, nor is it the only way the province will make money off of it.

Legalization created 18,000 jobs in Colorado (couldn't find numbers on Washington state), and the reduced burden on the legal system and law enforcement will assuredly reduce costs in those areas.

The only downside really is that you might find all the Doritos sold out next time you go to a 7-Eleven, and every now and then you'll come across those annoying folk who thinks they're Osho because they once saw a sunset whilst high.
