thanks guys I really liked it myself and thought the same as you did, architoker, back then it wasn't all about money though, that's why.
Gov. makes far more out of prisons then they will taxing marijuana, sadly, but soon hopefully it will be at least medical in most states, it's already at 15! just 35 more to go. Should be soon It just depends when the nation realizes that it should be, and eventually will be legalized/decriminalized/medicalized , we as a whole just determine when such a feat happens.
Noteably Washington DC is a medical state, so that counts for something of the forefathers I suppose.
