Plus there are strong ties to the smuggling of illegals - double the profits to charge an illegal to help them cross over and have them carry the drugs in. Legalizing pot will not solve the violence. As a matter of fact with more competition from U.S. making it, there may be more violence as these cartels try and keep or grow their share of the market. These cartels are not rational people that we can do business with. I've said it before, pot is not the only lucrative drug coming from Mexico.

Another plus about legalization is the massive amount of tax revenue the government would acquire which they could use to knock off some of our deficit and give to institutions which are in dire need. The state of California alone brings in 11 million in tax revenue a year. Imagine if the entire country got smart. If alcohol can be regulated and still cause all the devastation that it does (you can't compare driving drunk to driving under the influence of pot), then pot can be regulated as well.

Listen to me, people that know how to think out of the box. Decision makers, not followers, will tell you to "Legalize it" which would take the profit out of the game. Have we not learned anything from (Alcohol Prohibition) how many more people need to die to wake up the American Politician? Could you sell a six pack of beer to earn money, they keep puting children into the picture, I have "Eight Grandchildren, and I truely believe this needs to be legalized Now! Thank you, welcome any response.
