Just because one thinks that pot should be legal does not necessarily mean that one advocates using it. I'm sure not everyone who is for legal booze and tobacco advocates drinking and smoking.
If the government is going to tax pot then it had better be very small. It is hard to compete with free. I'm sure there would be a lot of money saved if they lower the spending on drug enforcement. I suspect those currently getting funds will resist any cuts though. Maybe they will use the argument that they must continue to prosecute those growing their own and avoiding the new taxes. I wonder if the feds had their budget cut when alcohol was finally legalized?
