Well ! , with that much revenue dont you think it would lower income taxes... kinda like what oil was supposed to do for the roads, the lottery for the schools etc...etc...bottle bill I could go on and on and in our state every year the homeowners still get zapped with a tax increase. They keep looking ( and I mean the govt) of ways to tax the citizens because they know the working class is diminishing and they need oh so much more money. Then I hear that this money would be used for drug education. I dont agree with any of it.
I have had too many expereinces where no good became of anyone under the influence. Especially behind the wheel or in the workplace.

I would rather be a stoner than an alcoholic any day. The secret to avoiding addiction to anything is moderation. So don't smoke too much weed or drink too much alcohol.

Check with the AG in Colorado and see how it is working out. He advised California not to do it...

Believe me, you do not want to live in this third world country where there is no justice and the people and government could care less if you died in the street or a medial prisoner in your home.

The AG might not like it, but the capital is bringing more money than know what to do with it and the bottom line; that is all they care about.

Of course; that is the only motivator for the greedy and corrupt. Although I have not heard of any real problems they are having after legalizing it. They surely are having less crowded courtrooms and jails; a savings again and let's face it; most who are going to smoke it with the law making it legal have already been doing it beforehand.

Where Carlos Escobar left off US state governments have taken over. They are the new cartel. The new drug overlords. Hypocritical, greedy bastards. How many car deaths will they be responsible for?

Car deaths won't be any where close to how many they are on alcohol.

Well I have to tell you something.... I was the recipient of an asshole DOPER on the so called mellow, harmless weed.I was rear ended at a stop light by the jack ass high as a kite at 60 mph. My car was then pushed into the back of a SUV. My wife suffered split knee cap and concussion. I suffered back neck and hip displacement. To this day my hip and back still are painful and now arthritis has set in my neck at the point of injury from the accident and now requires surgery.Both my car and the car ahead of me were totaled as well as the dopers car. But I wouldnt worry if it happens to you because all that money they will make off it...WOW I hope you get it because I didnt get a dime.
