How to you square that with the legit beer, wine and whiskey companies who do very well at making a buck.
The wrong people making money is at present the criminals and the clevel orgainzed crime networks who find a market and vend their products, all without contributing as the tobacco and booze vendors do, to the collective revenue.
Not sure where you are going with the "it does not help their financial situation" since they don't want to be caught up in federal court for selling an illegal or controlled substance. Legalize it, tax it, treat it like booze and tobacco, and you give legit businesses a shot at making an honest buck growing, curing, and selling the finest in Virginia Gold, or what have you.
"Come to where the real buzz is, come to Marlboro country!" :lol:
