Lets see....you have to be 21 to buy it so no kids. Isn't 21 the age where you can vote, drink and fight for your country?

You have to buy it from state licenced (and taxed) stores and they have to get their supplies from state licenced (and taxed) suppliers/growers. So the chance of organised crime or terrorists can't use it to make money from anymore.

DEA agents will be moved to areas where they can concentrate on actual hard drugs instead of putting 18 year olds in jail for a bag of weed. Maybe they will be moved to the border states where cartels are smuggling into the USA.

There are 658,000 arrests for pot annually. I wonder how much it costs to keep all those people in jail and prosecute them. What does it cost to put someone in prison for 10 years because they had the wrong plant in a bag? Better sell your shares in private prisons, I think those stocks will go down.

Less lawsuits from no knock warrants being served on the wrong address and people getting killed.

To sum it up: The government makes money and spends less tax dollars and the voting population is happy. What can go wrong?
