G gigsup May 7, 2009 #11 The libertarians stance has always been drug decriminalization. I had a hard time with that part in the past. Could be worth a try, but the fear is crime would skyrocket. The end result could cause more problems than it solves.

C Cutten May 7, 2009 #12 Quote from Landis82: When they put a sales tax on it, it becomes a HUGE revenue generator. Studies already estimate a $1 Billion gain in tax revenues in California. More... Don't forget to deduct the lost revenue from the "sick days" taken by newly converted potheads Seriously though, this is such a no brainer. Pot being illegal in the 21st century is a total anachronism.
