not only would the legaliation of marijuana benefit the general state of mind of the nation, taxing it like it would inevitably be taxed if it was legalized, would generate a ridiculous renevue. Ditto the arguement for the legalization of online poker. Between the legalization of those two things there would undoubtedly be a surplus in taxes generated for the US, enough so that it could make a tangible difference. It seems like both are on their way. Ill keep my fingers crossed
