#1 ...I've always said that one of the problems with legalizing weed was that the bad guys weren't going to just give up and go away. And since the State:

A)Has forecast specific income from said weed sales,

B)Expects constant specified growth in said income, and

C)Has already made pretty damned specific plans for said income,

they're going to do whatever is necessary to make sure they get that money and no one else does - and if that includes armed force and flat-out trampling of the Fourth Amendment along the way, so be it.

In other words, if you think the War on Drugs was bad before...wait till you see how bad it gets now that we've won it.

#4 south carolina already budgeted the taxes from a 1.6 billion dollar mega millions ticket bought last year. Only problem is that no one cashed in the ticket. if no one claims the money. the money will revert back to all other states and SC will be in a huge budget hole!
