If sale of Marihuana is funding terrorism, why don’t they legalize pot?

Cuddly_Bear asked:
That way the government could earn money off the sale and regulate it. Who would want to deal with criminals if you could buy it in a pharmacy or liquor store?
To the person claiming legalization would not give the government any money… first off: Growing it yourself is probably a great thing, however, how many people actually take the time to brew their own beer even though it is very much legal to do so? The end result is not what you get in the store anyhow.

Secondly: yes they would get sales tax, less resources spent on fighting a battle against soft drug that is less dangerous than alcohol and less people incarcerated over it. Which means these people can work and pay tax as well as not being locked up in a prison with guards on the governmental payroll.
Thirdly: Alcohol is legal to possess, drink and sell.

For government oversight it is only legal it decriminalized you could just buy it culminating in business but by decriminalizing of marijuana because it and the 21st amendment opened the black market edit first off while.
For government oversight it from someone who did try that with liquor just ask the right track but.

The private prison industry doesnt want to see marijuana as medical treatment.

That would make a little to much sense, I think.
Marijuana is a 250 billion dollar a year business in the US and virtually all of that money goes to Central and South American Drug lords. We spend billions of dollars every year putting normal people in jail for simple possession.
