The legalization of marijuana will soon no longer be an issue.

First, the government will legalize marijuana to tax its production and sale to help finance its deficit spending.

Then, it will spend billions in creating “green jobs” by hiring a multitude of bureaucrats to regulate, inspect, grade and collect taxes on marijuana growing, distribution and sale.

Then, lawyers will bring class-action lawsuits against producers, distributors and providers for misrepresenting B.C. Bud to be Humbolt Skunk Weed, causing their pothead clients emotional distress by being scammed in a drug deal.
