POT REVENUE COULD BE HIGH

I heartily applaud the burgeoning efforts of U.S. Reps. Ron Paul, 
R-Texas, and Barney Frank, D-Mass., to legalize the use of marijuana. 
I see that as just the first step toward government regulation and 
the resultant taxation -- providing much needed revenue just waiting 
to be collected.

Not only will it provide state, local and federal governments with 
billions in tax money, it also will move the product from drug 
cartels to government oversight. Kind of a win, win, win.
