Could they raise more money by locally legalizing more "sins" and heavily taxing them? Something of a cross between Las Vegas and Colorado could pull in a lot of revenue.
I suspect they will. As a resident of Colorado, once the politicians realize they can MAKE money off it, rather than spending considerably more money ON it (eg: jails, etc)... the transition suddenly "makes sense".
It's so sad that undoing horrible laws and ineffective prohibitions must come down to dollars and cents, rather than the innate freedom we all should have.
