#2 The narco trade has become the entrepreneurial fabric of urban America. Legalization simply allows the gov't to harvest sales taxes and licensing fees on storefront businesses.

Two things make the world go around, and the other one is money.

#3 A caricature of the stoner:
Unkempt, unemployable moaner;
In love with his boner
But not quite a loner --
He'll always mooch weed from a donor.

No offense to the cheerful, industrious stoners of RB, who doubtless outperform me by every metric. No sarc.
