I wish they had just interviewed you directly, rather than layering over a two-part obnoxious giggly gloss. Perhaps regular Planet Money listeners have come to expect that.<br /><br />It's very plausible that potential tax revenues have been overstated. The real savings will come when we can start firing cops and closing prisons. For political reasons, that will only happen in the direst of fiscal situations, and it can't be portrayed as a good thing, despite how manifestly that is the case. These cost savings weren't even mentioned in the podcast.<br /><br />I think the chocolate bar analogy is a bit of a red herring. Marijuana requires very little post-harvest processing, and can be grown in most of the continental USA. The opium poppy and coca plant could be grown in parts of the USA, with just a bit of research. (This speaks to transportation costs; of course if other countries have advantages in cultivation we could just import.) I'd expect currently illicit drugs to require nowhere near the marketing that pharmaceuticals do. (In that illicit drugs actually have a noticeable effect.) In fact, any law legalizing these drugs would probably include severe restrictions on their marketing. Also, I think the comments on the podcast underestimate the disincentives to competition posed by violent criminal gangs.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14724970369226999619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6379328854053402400.post-10193849441158410572010-01-29T19:14:33.456-05:002010-01-29T19:14:33.456-05:00Hallo Professor.

Now I have a little more hope since reading your weightier similar beliefs.<br />Judging by your 'before-the-crack-of-dawn' comments, you need some of that stuff which is slowly becoming legalised to help you sleep.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816512970474099030noreply@blogger.com
