text: why cant pot be decriminalized then legalized like alcohol was ? i mean if we put taxes  on it and generate a positive cash flow isnt that better than all the money we waste trying to stop the flow into this country i bet we could pay off the national debt but that is just my opinion i agree. but it is very hard to legalize and tax something that can be grown at home, nearly everywhere in the country. the point i am trying to make is if it were to be legal, everyone would grown their own and the government wouldn't se much revenue. *vote libertarian*
