[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1251998, member: 2189"] Then you are just creating an enforced monopoly which is not all that much different than you have now. Alcohol is an enforced monopoly but in the case of beer and wine does allow a small limited production for personal use only. There again, in the case of alcohol, enforcement is done to protect the taxation model. Prohibition was as much about clearing the field of competitors to create in effect a kind of cartel to make a taxation model easier to police as it was to grant the temperance movement a short term victory. Microbrewery beer and other small operations have made gains into those once dominated empires but so to has the consumers of beverage dramatically rose as well. There again is another reason to keep marijuana in it's status of evil plant. When you tax something, you insure whatever that something is to now have a political motive and political motives invite graft, corruption and cronyism like :censored: invites flies! [/QUOTE]
