Indeed, better the profits go to the government then gangs. It's not like cannabis use is ever going to go away, and it's a safer drug then the legal alternatives - especially when consumed without smoking it. Considering a large number of New Zealands use cannabis you'd think legalizing or decriminalizng what people a sensible policy.
