I agree with the legalizing part, but I question the ability to tax it. Taxation would go hand in hand with regulation, which involves more government and they already screw up most of what they do. How will you tax it? Will those who grow their own be expected to report production for taxation? Will pot be grown on large, regulated farms? Will those who fail to report become criminals? Legalize it yes, but don’t let government run wild.
