LOSE GAMBLING, TAX MARIJUANA

Our world is fraught with problems and has to deal with too many
disasters in too many countries.

We in Canada are blessed with living in the best country. Here on the
West Coast, watching unrest and disasters elsewhere, makes our
problems seem almost trivial.

That said, we do have gambling, an addiction destructive to families
who need the money lost to sustain daily life.

A significant source of funds for provincial coffers, gambling is
tolerated, even embraced. Wouldn't confining gambling and legalizing
marijuana (not other drugs) be less destructive to society?

The tax revenue from marijuana would likely replace lost government
income from gambling. I've not tried marijuana (worse than tobacco?)
but I've heard that B.C. Bud is rather popular beyond B.C. borders
and could find markets in other provinces.
