Awoe, It all depends on how you define "overrated". The state of Washington estimates that it would earn $550 million dollars from taxes on MJ sales. That means the state estimates that a significant amount of the population would be smoking pot if legalized. Also, for you information, the state of Washington does not have income taxes. So, the state is a pioneer or creative in finding sources of income to pay for government expenses. Further, if the state is successful in raising taxes this way, other states in the country could very well follow suit. JR > >
