Don't mean to jump in, but I wanted to just point a few things out.

- Making pot legal wont necessarily drive prices up. Since prices are already astronomical, reason being there is much risk in cultivating pot and the risk comes at a cost to the consumer. Just look at the amount of tobacco you can get for 35 dollars (A small bucket's worth even after the "evil liberal" tax) to the amount of weed you would receive for the same price sans tax on the black market. Even if the gov't taxed the product you would still end up getting more at the end of the day. Reason being they are going to sell it to you cheaper than the bootlegger can. This is how they get your business you see. Honestly, this isn't complex stuff. Reactionist and EXTREMELY false statements like, "the liberals will get a hold of it and we'll end up paying more", are laughable. Even bright children and philosophy majors can discern this stuff at a glance, why can't a right-winger?
