If pot was legalized, there would be =no= new tax base. Enough people would throw a few seeds in their garden that we'd have tons of dope being passed around for free to pretty much anyone who wanted it.
Saving $ on not incarcerating people for stupid "victimless crimes" like pot possession would do the gov't/taxpayers some good, though, you're right there.
The US won't legalize pot because it will "violate treaties"? Oh please. When has violating treaties stopped the US from doing anything it wants? Taking land, dropping cluster bombs and white phosphorous, torturing, building more nukes...
