Chart of the Day — A Data Point on the Failure of the War on Drugs

Wonkblog shows us one of the consequences of the legalization of marijuana (for both medical and recreational purposes):

Interesting, yes? Legalizing marijuana thins out the importers. And certainly increases some legal entrepreneurial activity here. And it takes some money out of the black market and puts it into tax coffers. I can’t even imagine the savings from getting law enforcement out of the business of policing small users and producers.

Delaware should legalize marijuana, like Colorado and Washington did. Tax it like crazy and be the centerpiece of a Mid-Atlantic market. Get in *early* and start replacing the revenues at risk from casinos that are being out-competed.
