which in turn reduces the strain on the court/jail system and that, in turn, means more money for the govt given they dont have to spend that money so theyre better off twice/thrice over (if you consider the reduced strain to be separate entities then thrice but if not then its twice)

Yep.

Though in California, possession (of one ounce or less) has a maximum punishment of a $100 fine. No nonsense.

This is a great Thread!!
Never in modern history has there existed greater public support for ending the nations nearly century-long experiment with marijuana prohibition and replacing it with regulation. The historic votes on Election Day in Colorado and Washington - where, for the first time ever, a majority of voters decided at the ballot box to abolish cannabis prohibition. Pretty soon, unless your blind or have deaf ears for this subject, marijana will be legalized and treated like buying a pack of cigarettes. It's nothing but beneficial and the old wife's tales are about to distinguished. We are now living in an era very similar to alcohol prohibition. Some of the polls, with the latest in may, say "Over 90 Percent Of Americans Oppose Jailing Marijuana Possession". The #1 reason why I support marijauna, it would be so beneficial, financially just to tax it...I wish I would have caught this thread when it was active. Here is a fun fact: there were more voters in Colorado and Washington that voted to legalize marijuana, than there were that placed a presidential vote, which occurred the same day.

Instead of jacking up the cost of cigarettes another $1.60 per pack - they could keep it simple and legalize taxed weed. Use that money to fund the new Vikings stadium. Since apparently smokers are now going to cover that debt for the state. Gotta love Minnesota.
