>>Oh, and they (the Mom&Pops) all pay taxes. What gave you the impression they didn't? They are careful, cuz they know about Al Capone, and they are more patriotic than hedge fund managers. << Really? They ALL pay taxes on the income from illegal sources? How do you know that? Sure, they want to see their competition get busted, but to have themselves be left alone. I'm sorry, but none of the arguments you've made in that post convince me that there is a good reason to keep marijuana illegal. Do you really think it's OK that people are sent to prison for possessing and selling marijuana, as long as the livelihoods of your neighbors aren't threatened?
