Germans oppose pot legalisation by more than 2:1

Beautiful. We Germans aren't deluded unlike the idiot libertarians who plague America.

No, you Germans just haven't had a War on Drugs that shows the absolute folly of criminalizing pot.

This.  I doubt that there is anyplace in the US, not even Washington or Colorado, where even a plurality think that recreational cannabis use is a good thing..  But there are plenty of places where a majority think it is better than the effects of continuing to criminalize it.

3. That claim is yet to be proven.  Even if the trades don't go away, legalization will deter criminal activity because people will no longer have to resort to illegal means of obtaining pot which, as you will learn in Economics class, increases the price.  I've yet to hear of a single case of the black market selling something for less than it would cost in a free market.

Haven't you heard of cigarette smuggling or moonshining?  If you set a sin tax high enough, it will encourage people to engage in the black market to evade the tax.

How often does that happen?  And even if it does, that's a better argument for lowering the tax on marijuana, not outlawing it.

Moonshining not so much these days.  People's tastes have changed so that those who want whiskey generally prefer it aged rather than raw.  Also the excise taxes on alcohol have not kept up with inflation, so there's not as much incentive.  With our famously low cigarette taxes, there's usually a couple cases a year that make the news of some criminal gang buying them here in quantity to sell in a high tax state.
