Vancouver Mayor Larry Campbell has weighed in on the marijuana debate, and left no doubt where he stands.
Speaking at a conference on legalizing pot Saturday, Campbell said he supports the plan but added it pot were available legally, he would "tax the hell out of it."
Campbell said every tax dollar would go to health care, noting that without the pot industry, British Columbia would be in a recession.

Former lawman Larry Campbell is now the mayor of Vancouver, British Columbia. He says marijuana sales should be taxed. He notes the pot trade is estimated at $6-billion annually in his Canadian province – larger than construction or timber.
He says pot taxes could used to fund treatment for more serious drug problems. Campbell suggests marijuana sales be regulated like alcohol or tobacco.
He outlined his proposal over the weekend for the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association.

"What I do want is to stop seeing people go to jail. I want to stop seeing the waste of resources, our resources, taxpayers' resources," he explained.
Wow. I wonder if he was noticing that the cannabis users ARE the taxpayers?
