After considering the whole legal marijuana thing, I also considered the other ways in my lifetime that Illinois has tried to do to tax what were once "bad" things. There was alcohol at some point, and eventually later there was Riverboat gambling which now has basically gone statewide with other places being allowed up to five slot machines, and then there are all of the lottery games that are usually right at the front counter of every storefront count. And now there is online sports betting. When you start to take a look at Illinois, all the now legal stuff that once was illegal sure is accumulating. If you think about all the money that an adult could do each week that some may consider "bad"...head down to Casey's and pick up some cigarettes or tobacco along with a 12-pak of beer. While you are there purchase some scratch tickets and also a few quick picks of the daily weekly lotto games. Prior to a little supper, stop by the dispensary for some cannibis products, and then head to Rudy's in Milan for some food and after eating play some slot machines. On the way home, stop by the casino and get to the tables for a little Texas hold 'em and just before sitting down to watch the game in the recliner, make a few sports bets. Kind of crazy, when you think about it.
