Thanks for clearing it up, although I only mildly agree with you. I really think the primary reasons the legislators will not (for the most part) entertain marijuana or drug reform are value-based. These values seem to be changing, slowly, as many do, but I don't see the possibility for widespread drug reform coming anytime soon (perhaps in the next century, save marijuana). Granted, some legislators may see things with the economic viewpoint you've described. Who knows?
