what pot dealer do you know is going to pony up tax money and just be honest about how much they sold when filing taxes? ok, so youre 7-11 has it for sale and because it has to be taxed, is less likely to be quality weed or is more expensive, which then leads them back to their pot dealer, who isn't going to file any 1040's claiming weed sales...

That's just one side of the equation economically. Have any idea how much tax payer money goes each year to find, prosecute, and incarcerate pot sellers and users? It's insane. The US spends a shit load of money trying to force people to live the way a select group of people have decided they should. Land of the free, home of the brave my ass.
