[QUOTE="nxtgeneration, post: 179380, member: 480"] Yes, I need cliff notes as well. No time for an hour long video. The only input I have on the issue is about funding. A relative is close friends with the states attorney in Alaska and from what I gather from their conversations is that yes, it does bring in tax dollars but, those tax dollars are always allocated to certain funds. I.E. The tax money will be spent on education, or rehabilitation, or whatever other pet project the legislators have that are pitching the bill. Then when it comes time to fund regulation, which is extremely expensive as well, the state needs to come up with separate money for that because the tax income is already allocated. From the sounds of it in Alaska's situation the regulation greatly outweighs the tax dollars being brought in. I could care less if someone like to smoke a joint every once in awhile or every day for that matter but I do care that we could end up fronting the bill on regulations just so someone is able to do that on their front porch.
