Maybe, if the U.S. of A. is still around fifty years from now, we’ll witness the adoption of a new 18th Amendment. And then we’ll have to learn the perilous lessons of vice control all over again.
In his 1994 autobiography, Take Me Home, Denver admitted to using marijuana (along with cocaine and LSD), and would go on to check himself into a rehab clinic for alcohol abuse. But when writing about “Rocky Mountain High,” he reiterates that the song’s inspiration sprung from when he first moved to Aspen at the age of 27.
“I remember, almost to the moment, when that song started to take shape in my head. We were working on the next album and it was to be called Mother Nature’s Son, after the the Beatles song, which I’d included. It was set for release in September. In mid August, Annie and I and some friends went up to Williams Lake to watch the first Perseid meteor showers. . . .
So many people of my generation have done it and I thought that our generation was going to fix the problem, but it was dug in more deeply than that. Prohibition was.

Take notes conservatives. If you don’t like drugs, that’s the best reason to make them legal. That way you can tax and regulate the $%# out of them!
Don’t like taxes, you say? Don’t like regulations, you say? Yeah! That’s the whole point! The less you like a drug, the more you tax and regulate it!

And with the billionaire’s tax cuts, the Federal Treasury is down to seeds and stems. (Sorry, Commander Cody)

The only reason it is / was legalized was the ability to tax it.. and other states (as well as Canada) jumped or are jumping on the wagon.

I bet S.D. could use a big tax intake. The reservations and even Deadwood have casinos. They could have something else too…

Only legalized for the taxes? Why is that a problem? It’s legal and there’s more revenue.
