But then there is the "but pot is a gateway drug" - BALONEY and no I do not have any facts to back up my opinion afterall is is just an opinion. My thought on it all is tax pot just like they tax gasoline and cigarettes, for sure if it's legalized it will run a lot of drug dealers out of business (again just an opinion not backed by any facts). Then use the tax money to educate our children on the effects of drug abuse including alcohol! Whatever money is left over dump into our school system - maybe if the schools today were more like the schools of the past the world would be a little less addictive and have some empty jail cells!
