The ACLU numbers about money spent on incarceration are false where marijuana is concerned. There is no one in prison in RI for simple marijuana possession. Some are serving time after pleading down felony distribution cases so it is not fair to count these as a kid on the block getting busted for a joint. The average person caught with marijuana will never see jail bars. Those on probation, bail, parole, etc. will rightfully get whacked for being criminals.

Violent crime is not investigated by patrolmen who will be suddently 'freed up' by not enforcing pot smoker arrests. This shows a complete lack of knowledge on how policing works.

Talk to any drug counselor. Marijuana is in fact a gateway drug. You pot smokers just want to feel good about yourselves so you want society to legalize your pet drug. You'll still be a pot head.

As for the underground black market in Colorado, it is growing. Tax estimates of over 100 million are now 45 million. The average doper doesn't want to pay tax. There are plenty of dealers that will beat the government price.
