MORE OPINIONS ON POT FROM NEAR AND FAR (4 OF 6)

One question notably absent the marijuana debate in Nevada is, which side
garners the support of the black market pot purveyors? Do they favor the
current policy where their massive profits go untaxed, their goods
unregulated, and their market virtually unimpeded by any governmental
authority, or would they support a system with tariffs, regulatory
controls, and restrictions limiting their clientele to adults over 21 years
of age?

The current scheme appears to form a lucrative, symbiotic relationship
between illegal drug marketers and the drug warriors who purport to pursue
them. Both reaping hundreds of billions of dollars in profits and income,
with taxpayers, pot users, and our Constitution and its Bill of Rights,
clearly the victims of this cash bonanza. Shouldn't all Americans be
asking, who does marijuana prohibition truly benefit and what does our tax
dollar buy us?
