A good piece from the American Conservative. Note that Colorado has earned only a disappointing $2 million in tax receipts on pot so far. Watch out for the attempts to market pot at the corporate level; that's coming. http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/fear-the-rise-of-big-pot/
But don't miss the quotes by Mark Kleiman of UCLA: he wants a federally regulated pot market to encourage states to monopolize the sale. (Kleiman is a longtime advocate for drug legalization.)
All very predictable: 1) legalizing pot requires MORE legislation, not less. 2) government's take will be disappointing; and 3) you still have to suppress the illegal market.
