SUPPLY AND DEMAND
PUT IT this way: If you could buy gold for $200/oz. in Canada and resell it
for $600 in the U.S., do you think people would see a profitable
enterprise? Now imagine if you could actually produce this gold for about
$20/oz and sell it south of the border for $600/oz. Imagine a government
silly enough to suppress this valuable commodity that is less harmful that
tobacco, alcohol, aspirin and even table salt for Pete's sake. If 10% of
the North American population smokes cannabis, then there are more cannabis
users in the U.S. than there are people in Canada. It's simple logistics of
supply and demand for a product less lethal than beer. If we legalize
cannabis and the Americans do not, the only thing getting high will be our
dollar's value.

(The flaw in your logic is that the Americans wouldn't just sit back and
let this happen)
