When it's allowed by the Government to deal, there will be no fears of the legal consequences to get into it.

Tax fraud will also rise if it is taxed. You honestly trust criminals like drug dealers to suddenly abide by tax laws when "allowed" to sell. Heck, there are legitimate businesses selling legal goods that cheat on taxes. All of this "extra revenue" won't be seen. The Government will spend more of our tax dollars trying to enforce their "legal drug sale" guidelines. I'm sure a new department will be formed to handle this new commerce.

Trusting Government is as smart as trusting drug dealers.

Again I see no "beer dealers" on the corner of my block plus every time I have bought beer I have been rung up the tax as well.

sure, "drug dealers" might still sell weed to their coke customers... but most weed smokers would gladly not deal with sketchy freaks who are still mixed up with coke/guns/whatever if they can just stop at the liquor store on their way home instead of having to call up some criminal and play phone tag and figure out where and when to meet him and all that BS.
