this is a problematic way of looking at liberty and government power. what's the use of keeping it illegal?

Changing is always harder than keeping something the same.....You have to have an incentive to change. I imagine the inability or unwillingness of people who want to legalize weed to realize this is the reason it is still mostly illegal today.

not when you make it very expensive with an outrageous sin tax.

My proposal was only slightly higher than what we tax cigarettes now.....it will be higher than the cigarette tax if it ever gets legalized in this state. However like I said that is where I would start negotiations.

WHY legalize when JBE can just raise the shite out of taxes instead

From a guy who's lived in Colorado nearly four years. I gotta say, the legalized weed has been working well, at least for me it has. Just don't forget to bring a towel.

Absolutely. Beats raising our taxes again and again but somehow this state would still frick it up

We absolutely should, regardless of the moral issue, we can not afford to miss out on the taxes. Having said that, if I know my state like I do, we will legalize it after all the other states have done so and capitalized.
