    Problems solved.

    There's already a market in marijuania. If legalized, it's not going to boom to such a degree that it's going to have a tremendous effect on the economy. The tax revenue from marijuania legalization will maybe amount to a few billion. We need trillions.

    Marijuania legalization is good. It is not magic.

    They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "

    Pot currently is a 14 billion market with no tax, prohibition didn't work on much more dangerous alchohal.
    What othe advanced country prohibits development of its natural resources.
    2 no brainers that bring in billions.

    Fact
    It's the current Democratic Administration attacking Med MJ right now. It seems like you want one party to give up two cards, while the other must only give up one...

    I'm good with that.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    Enforcing the law against marijuana also cots billions. Legalizing marijuana will save a lot of tax payer money.

    Not really. Those cops/agents will be on the payrole regardless. Jails will still be opened and operated. You could rgue that they'd be more effiecent/effective with violent criminals,but it won't 'save' any money.
