>So, we legalize pot and start taxing it. That would save us millions in prison costs. But wait, that would hurt the 'prison for profit' groups, wouldn't it?

Also, the 'drugs for profit'. The reason marijuana is verbotten is that it actually has a lot of medicinal properties, so it can replace, or do better than, many of the pink, purple or bloody green pills. And, worse, anyone can grow it. So what do we sell and make profit on? And how do you tax someone with three stalks in pots in a window? No sales, no profit, no tax.

Nowadays, you can get arrested for growing tomatoes...
