re: However, I'm also fine with illegal drugs staying illegal. That includes marijuana. I just brought up the "black market" argument because it's the same argument used to argue for legalization. I don't think it's the same argument at all. Folks that are for marijuana legalization mostly think it's less harmful than, say cigarettes or booze. Yet people are criminalized for using it. And if it were legal you could tax it. Save money on jails as well. The "getting rid of a black market" is an ancillary argument maybe.
