I'm with 420 here, legalization doesn't mean anything bad. I honestly don't care about the dealers, or growers that make living doing either. Weed should not be about trying to get the highest price for your shit, it should be about helping people, and enjoying the god given herbs. I don't like dealers, they are all in it for themselves, they don't care about any body else. If you make your living selling weed, or any other drugs, then you need to get a new job thats all. Don't punish the masses because a bunch of street pushers are gonna lose money, fuck them. Don't get me wrong I've sold in my day, I'm sure many of us all have, but I don't now, nor do I want to have to. I grow for the love of it, and to have quality buds for me and my friends. Legalization won't effect that.i would say ... LEGALIZE IT NOW
whats the big deal if the gov will tax you on it ?
would you rather them throw you in jail for it ? and impose a massive fine depending on how much you had ... ?
sure there would be more competition, but there would be better product ... so it would still fetch a premium price... if you have been slingin seeds sticks and stems(shitty brick weed) .. than ya your screwed.. time to get some better shit any way
Sure the government will tax it, but I'd still rather be able to grow my shit in my house in peace and not have to worry about it. I'd love to be able to go down the street to get some clones or seeds and not have to have them mailed in. Cali is a great example. If I didn't have a crop ready, and I needed some buds I'd rather go to the store and pay what maybe 20-30 bucks for a pack of prerolled joints or blunts, or maybe a little box of weed like the legal buds come in. Shit the taxation should be a rason the government would want to legalize it, they would make a ton of money. Were it legal, all of the beneficial uses of marijuana could be taken advantage of as well. There is no reason that hemp oil couldn't be used to power an automotive engine. Hemp clothes, building materials, plastics, there are so many uses.
Also just because big business starts to grow it, isn't any reason it will become poor quality, either they grow good shit, and we are all happy, or they grow mids, and we all grow good shit. Its that simple. Legalizing it and selling it at stores also WILL NOT eliminate the market for highgrade weed. There will always be a demand for "the best" shit, and the exotics. I know I'd e grateful for the oportiunity to decide between several exotic strains, rather then deciding if I want mids for $25 bucks or unknown nugs for $50. If anything it should result in better stuff, and the ability of scientists to actually study it, and make improvments.
People have to look at the big picture, not just at their wallets. Legalization is not likely to happen, so pushing for medical decriminalization is a great goal. But saying that legaliztion should not happen is close minded, if it happened in the US, the world would follow, and it would not only change the ways to get it, but it would change the stigma around smoking. It would eliminate the need to fake drug tests at work. Also there are many, many people out there that don't smoke, or don't smoke anymore, just because it is illegal. I gaurantee if it were legal the number of smokers in the world would skyrocket. Increasing the demand exponentially.
Well sorry that was so long guys, but I had to get that off my chest, it drives me nuts when people are nocomplacent about this. Its the only direction to move, Cali took those steps, and the rest of the country needs to follow. Every state needs a prop 215 to start, and then we can run with it from there.
