re: #1 Buck

If you want to cut out “a significant source of revenue to large scale criminal enterprises, gangs and cartels” then you legalize it. Federally. Tax it and collect enough revenue to solve the economic crisis. MJ is no more or less dangerous than alcohol and has more medicinal properties than alcohol.

My observation is the silence from the red states on “state’s rights”. Or maybe they just don’t care if it doesn’t have a racial component.
