Kurant, thank you for posting your response. It was encouraging to hear your thoughtful response. I now understand why you voted the way that you did.
I probably would have voted the other way myself, but I understand and respect your lack of faith in the gov't making meaningful choices with new tax revenue. I would hope that by moving in the direction of legalization and taxation we would make gains on the fiscal front. I suppose my arguement could be summarized with the idea of getting the tax base of the sale and distribution of marijuana first, and working on the government's use of that money second. After all, if you don't have the money, there isn't a lot of reason to budget for it or to decide where it is going to be spent.
