Even the nascent legalization of marijuana in some states has been ill-considered. The taxes imposed have created market prices that accomplish two things: First, more people who would not have consumed marijuana when it was illegal now do. (The same people who obey traffic laws.) And second, an increased number of consumers soon realize that they can obtain illegal marijuana at a cheaper price than the legal stuff that’s jacked up with taxes. Thus, the black market continues to prosper. Our country experienced the same thing following Prohibition with so-called moonshine. We ignore history and we repeat it.
