Hemp could bring in tax dollars. Marijuanna would be almost impossible to tax. Not when most people could just grow it themselves. Its not like cigerettes. Illegal drug dealers would still be here. I believe the same people selling it now would continue to sell it. I don't think they would stop selling the other drugs they are pushing just because they can sell one legal. Prescription medication, cocaine, meth, and the number one growing drug in eastern ky, heroin would still be there.

If one could grow it in ones house or on ones property don't you think that would cut down on illegal drug dealing.

Sure you're gonna have pill dealers(IE Doctors in some cases) and HARD DRUG Dealers no matter what.

Think of it this way.

Take away the market for illegal pot and the guy who deals pot along with pills, Coke Meth and Heroin has lost part of his business.

The people who were visiting him for pot no longer have to see or deal with him.

There's where the gateway is. The Dealer. Not the plant.

Here's and Example of what I'm talking about.

18 year old kid says, "Hey man Can I get a bag of weed?"

Drug Dealer says, "No I'm outta pot but I got some Xanax's if you want some of them." "Or maybe some Coke, Meth or Heroin".

Next thing you know you got a junkie on your hands.
