Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 4647108, member: 1646"] I'm actually a big proponent of legalized marijuana for reasons other than just tax even as a non-user. But I fully agree that legalized gambling is purely for state revenue (tax and tourism). I know some guys that have kept using their prior pot dealers and bookies because of the taxes. I'm interested in seeing the damage that legalized gambling has done to addicts. If I had to guess, there may be less life destroying (literally) debt because you can't go as deeply in the whole like the neighborhood bookie allowed. But, the ease of legalized gambling has probably resulted in a lot more people losing a big piece of their personal savings. Mile wide, inch deep vs. vice versa. [/QUOTE]
