>>>Apparently...hahaha. I suppose that's just another reason why I think it should just be 100% legal - if nothing else it would keep some of the money involved out of the hands of criminals.

>>Probably all of it. Anyone can grow it. It's one of the few things where it's nearly impossible to put a meter and charge for the flow. It just can't be centralized.

>I disagree. We learned during the time booze was illegal in this country what happens....it made Al Capone one if the richest men in the world and the mafia very powerful. Now sure - you can still buy illegal booze and even make your own - but very few people do that. I believe the same would be true for pot.

But there's no crime syndicate producing booze in the woods and selling it in secret places, is there?

If anyone can, doesn't mean everyone will. But it breaks the monopoly. Supply is local, there's no network of distributors.
