It's not because they can't tax it; that's an urban legend. It's because that if they legalized it the massive influx of money would actually collapse our economy. Pretty phenominal, heh?

It sounds absurd but it actually made sense when he described it using charts and graphs and numbers, oh my.

My brain hurts now just thinking about that.
How would growing your own pot create an influx of cash? If pot was legal, most people wouldn't buy it, and if they did it would be like cigarettes. Most people would grow their own, smoke their own. The reason why you Pay for pot is because you are paying for the risk taken in getting you the pot. Take away the risk and you take away the payment...

Marijuana is a weed and is probably one of the easiest plants to grow. The problem isn't growing it, the problem is keeping people from finding out that you are growing it.
