I really don't think that making marijuana legal is going to cause this huge shift to harder drugs. Most people don't need the other drugs because they get what they want from the marijuana. They get that high and they get this horrible urge to attack the kitchen and eat everything in sight. So, the way I see it, if we do make marijuana legal, all we are really doing is taking money away from the drug dealers and putting money into a company.
Who would make it? I hope a big tobacco company that has experience with growing things of that nature. Sell it wherever you want to sell it. If it's legal, then you can sell it. Would taxes be worth anything? If tons of people are buying the marijuana, chances are, the taxes are going to have some effect. The way I see it, the government gets no money from those dealers that sell drugs. "Yes, I'd like to pay me 25% income tax on the drugs I sold..." Not likely. So, if it was taxed, the government would be making more money.
