2. Good - that pot was here stealing the jobs of our pot, it was stoning the people we wouldn't
How many pot plants here sit in fields, unused and unable to find a good home?

3. Now imagine if pot were legalized. Chicago would realize the revenue from the sale
of 11 tons of marijuana.

How short were the coffers for education funding this year? How short are they going to be next year?

If advocates for legalization would push to legislate that all tax and fee revenues from marijuana sales (medical or otherwise) go towards education funding, I personally believe that the movement would garner enough additional support to finally overcome the naysayers.
