Not to mention the Chevy dealer, generator stores, and garden supply stores, along with coffee shops and beauty salons.

If there is any follow through with the Pat Robertson statement, then that segment will then overcome that segment of the voters. Don't you find it odd that far right, law enforcement and drug people all work together toward a common goal? The same kind of thing holds true in Mexico. There are vast amounts of money flow that requires the drugs to remain illegal. It is very clear that complete legalization of marijuana would stop people from growing in our national parks. In addition to all of the other savings. Lower prison loads. Lower court loads. The savings to the people that would not be in the system. Legal aid for school. Access to jobs. Access to housing. Those are the costs paid by people that are cannabis consumers. The punishment does not fit the nature of the crime.
