I have long held (and I'm not alone) that pot will be 'illegal' until THEY 
find a
way to effectively tax it. Look at the maga-bucks that come out of liquor and
tobacco.
I'm looking at all sides of this - I hope.
Recently, a good, good friend of mine was on his last legs, dying of cancer. 
His
wife - my other best friend, baked him brownies - and other stuff - laced with
weed, and, though she's an otherwise very upright, moral, staid lady, gave it 
not
a second thought. It was serving a purpose.
It's a plant, for heaven's sake! And so many plants have medicinal
properties...who's to tell us not to use a natural substance as we see fit? 
Seems
BIG Brother will poke his BIG nose into whatever comprises BIG business.
