Will the tax be more than 1.6 billion per year... cash, not counting seized property. That's what's being made now on busts for US agencies, fed and local.
Since the legitimate drugs will be high because of the sin taxes and greed, the blackmarket will thrive... there'll need to be inforcement of laws to stop the illegal blackmarket drugs... UHHH, like's happening already.
The losers that are users will still continue to commit crimes to pay for their habit, same as now. The underground drug trade will be just as violent and come across our borders. Goverment 'Cheese' will be three times the prices now, users will still buy on the corner.
The difference is Derek will now grow pot in the garden... big F'n deal.
It'll be cool, when I get a touthache, I'll run to Wallyworld and grab a bottle of Oxycodon or Morphine next to the tampons.

for the record even with an active black market, since Montana passed its medical marijuana act in 2006 street price on black market has dropped quite a bit if your buying in bulk......
as far as the oxycodone and morphine in Walmart, lady up the street from me has a garden full of opium poppies.....
biggest drugs around here are illegally sold or stolen prescription pills and meth......
