well let's see. Who gives a rat's ass about the drug cartels? The cops
will be plenty busy with all the other crime and have more resources
with which to fight it.
And quite frankly, I think legalizing pot would create SOME employment.
You need ppl to grow it, harvest it, ship it, package it and sell it.
Then, there's not just the gov't income from the taxes on the sale of
it, but the licenses to sell it.
Sounds like everyone wins to me LOL

NO, their REAL fear is for the pharmaceutical industry. It's BIG
business and would take a pretty good hit(no pun intended) if pot were
legalized.

with legalized drugs there will still be crime and if nothing else still
need a police force to keep stability

the seeds of the marajuana plant are the purest form of plant
protien...far surpassing the soybean. Not saying that the food giants
would lose out, per se
