I believe Sessions has shares in private prisons corporations (and some others). Much of his anti pot position comes from his vested financial interests in prohibition. Pot should never have been illegal and it's illegal status has always been because it was a competitor to the alcohol, paper, textile and petro-chemical industries. Wrong to tax it also. Except in as much as corporations growing it should be charged company tax like any other corporate production profits. But not because it is pot. The only solution to the lack of tax revenue is going to be to make the rich and corporations to pay a much higher share. And a tax on finance capital. All transactions. Chasing pot growers and ordinary workers is never going to get much and the average worker already carries too many unproductive free loading rich people on their backs and can't be squeezed much more.
