Yet another Marijuana post! The stupid, expensive war on Pot
With all of the marijuana threads and news lately, it's kind of ironic that America's favorite populist Jim Hightower has a very entertaining and informative Hightower Download about America's sick war on marijuana on his site. Check it out here.

Enjoy.

3. We spend $40 Billion a year on the drug war, not including costs of incarceration.
The vast majority of drug war expenditures go towards keeping consenting adults from pot smoking.

It's totally idiotic, and if we legalized, regulated, and taxed the stuff, we'd have a fucking windfall.
