These things should exist outside of revenue. If it was more to have a free society does should we rethink freedom? It feels silly to attach a monetary value to individual liberty.

Tax revenue is used as a benefit for legalization. It feels like a flawed argument, but it still aligns with where I would like to be.

The slippery slope argument applies here too: should our freedom be tied to tax revenue? Sure, it works for some drugs. Does it work for our other inalienable rights?
