But Gersh, making marijuana legal would cost so many jobs, in law enforcement, the prison system, the parole and probation system and our drug testing industry.

What about the grow light makers, fertilizer products, zigzag rolling papers, bong and pipe makers, McDonalds, krispy kreme donuts and other jobs that'll be created? :-)
