I think we would want it legalized but....

You might hear alot about drug dealers opposing legalization, this is for two reasons, less customers and cheaper price. The government couldn't make weed too expensive because then everybody would grow their own/ buy from dealers again. However, if the government sold lets just say 1/g for $10 everybody would buy from shops.

Thats how the goverment could actually make some money, selling it at $10 1/g and throwing a tax of maybe a solid $3. That could, and would make stoners a great benefit to the economy. But most activists for legalization are stoners, or ultra liberals,(or Ron Paul) and most people dont listen to either of them. Since many conservatives and the uneducated think that weed is either a terrible drug or just don't care, theres not going to be much popular sovereignty for it.

So we have Barry Cooper, Ron Paul, all stoners who don't deal (I'd imagine), and the occasional guy who doesn't smoke but thinks it should be legalized.... thats just not enough.

I personally think it could benefit more than just stoners and it IS a good idea, but its not going to happen.
