The point of the comparison went completely over your head. The OP did not say he was against gambling, but simply made the assumption that legalizing pot will not fix the state's financial problems. We were sold a bill of goods about how gaming was going to be the cure for what ails us, and it wasn't.
No it didn't go over my head. There was a long exhaustive thread on this yesterday. It's completely obvious that legalizing and taxing pot might not solve the budget problems but it would put a nice dent in it. Aside from the budget issue, it's the right thing to do even if the state didn't end up making much money off it. As with casinos.

How much tax money did Colorado make for their school system in the first year? 100 million?
And that's before the market was fully saturated and mature. It will only grow.
I'm sure Louisiana could use that kind of cash right now
