Actually, the revenues from a weed tax might, just might, replace or sustantially reduce some existing taxes. The DEA at least could be downsized drastically as another upside. Some pundits up here in Canada figure if we did legalize weed, our national debt could be wiped out and replaced by a national surplus inside of ten years.
But then.....2nd largest country on Earth with a population somewhat less than the State of California; we're more a country club than a country.....

Here in the good old USA there's no such thing as reducing taxes. Besides any money they raise in taxes would likely be put into more education/treatment progams not to fund exisiting stuff.

Sad but true, Trouble; they probably would at that......my own idea is predicated on having leaders and legislators who actually use their brains and listen to their constituents.......an extremely tall order, I realize, but still possible LOL.
