Right on, Jon!

I don't even use marijuana (or any other illegal drug, for that
matter), but I've long maintained that it's the illegality of drugs
that makes them both high-priced and irresistible to the young.

If they were legal and administered by - as you suggest - an offshoot
of the Liquor Control Board, just imagine the tax revenues.

Maybe the beleaguered taxpayer could finally get a break.  Cops could
spend their time chasing real criminals like the low-lifes that invade
private homes and prey on the elderly.
