Pot in America

[Delc]

And if you want to talk about strawman arguments, how about the one that says the illegal drug trade will magically disappear if legal sources become available? Consider that there are numerous multibillion-dollar corporate entities built around the production and sale of tobacco and alcohol. There's also billions of dollars in illegal trade around smuggled, far cheaper (by virtue of circumventing taxes and regulations) versions of these same products.

You should look up alcohol prohibition in the US. Read about super nice people like Al Capone, and compare him to the CEO of Budweiser. Then look at the people running the drug cartels now and see which one they resemble more.
