Legalizing Marijuana

I understand where Kevin is coming from when he says what is the point of making it legal and taxing when when most people would think it was cheaper to just buy it from a "dealer". We have to face the fact that Marijuana is either being shipped into the country secretly or being made directly in the United States, but if we do make it legal then part of the law should be that thier should be some sort of system where you need to have a license or something to sell it or even make it.
Alcohol is being made in the United States or being shipped in as well but it needs to go through custom checks if it is being shipped from out of the country and if people are making their own beers and selling it, they need licenses in order to even sell alcohol. I have not heard of anyone selling alcohol illegally after it was made legal after the 1930's and it is almost impossible to do that. So I think that if they do make Marijuana legal they need to become more strict on who is selling the product, they need to be just as strict like when they sell alcohol and cigarettes-- They need to card everyone, and the seller needs to have a license to sell the product just like we have licenses for people to sell alcohol and cigarettes like at a gas station and liquor stores. So selling on the streets would not exist anymore. Also why would anyone need a dealer if they can get marijuana at stores where they sell cigarettes and alcohol. So by doing that maybe dealing and the "underground drug world" might become a little bit smaller.
