To compare the destruction of cigarettes to the make believe destruction of a legal cannabis is unfair and equally shallow. Its relevance is far shot in trying to compare elementary kids desire of cigarettes to their new found glory of cannabis. Moreso, to say that legalizing it will destroy communities is extremely shallow. There is no evidence of any such disaster. We have had every sort of epidemic in this country. Cannabis does not cause that sort of destruction while BEING LEGAL. Sure PROHIBITION DOES, But not regulation and legalization does not. That is all heresay based. A Hyper-Logical uninformed guess at what to come is a opinion...not something to spread, please. Information needs to be accurate, not overshot with ill advised unformulated hypothesis.hey man not only will it hurt some of us it will destroy the communitys because remember in elementry how easy it was to get ciggerettes imagine them all getting joints not that it was that much harder but still if kids dont think its illegal theyl all do it plus all the lames that dont do it that are older will be like oh what its legal now lets try it and get stuck on it and start wasting all there money on it insted of all the other stuff they used to so itl bring down business for all other types except for its own and it will make money for the government yea but it has too many negative effects it should be like how it is now medicine but for all states it should be perscribed like it is now not for everyone... its not made for everyone.
I believe in freedom.If they were to legilize marijuana in the US ( that is were im talking about) The government would be creating a new REGULATED market. This means that you would be able to go to the gas station, or coffea shop or whatever and buy pot like beer. WHO CAN COMPETE WITH PERFECTLY ROLLD UP DOOBYS OF THE BEST SHIT???? CAN YOU???...... didnt thiknk so.....anyways back on track.
Right now about 80% of the cash earned by businesses in the US from retail sales comes from money that came from marijuana in one way or another. legilize it and about 90% of that money would dissapear meaning stores would close down, go out of business, people would go into debt, CHAOS.
Marijuana creates one of the biggest unregulated markets in the country with some 55MILLION people involved including people liek me and you. In a sense marijuana feuls america everyday. what do marijuana dealers do with the money they make???? THEY BUY SHIT, RANDOM SHIT CARS, BOATS, HOUSES, STOCKS, INVESTMENT, AND EVERYDAY THINGS FOOD, CLOTHS, GAS, HEALTH CARE PRODUCTS!! take this money, or market away from america and I think 60% of businesses would SIVEARLY suffer or all together shutdown. Alot of people would go crazy.
Decriminalization is a drastically different approach. If it were ever to happen, then think about it "all the users of your site could continue what they do everyday" the US continues to flourish like it does today except on average 185,000 people every year would be spared from jail, and we would save enough money from not having to house, feed, and jail these "criminals" (pot smokers, sellers) to bring our country out of this recession. Not to mention the millions we would save every year going after "weed criminals"
There would be millions and billions of dollars to spair for our coutry to use for valuable resources such as healthcare, military, and police for the REAL DRUGS cocaine, heroin, ect.
SO VOTE FOR DECRIMINALIZATION
Thanks for the Link. The movie " The Union: The business behind getting high" is a great film in my opinion. Gotta love those hypocrites who grow cannabis illegally yet dont want it legal for their own selfish agenda. Its obvious it has never dawned on them that the plant has a right to be free. That plant you are extorting is due to its status within political civilizations. CrazinessIf you want a decent education on both sides of the argument, the legalization and decriminalization, check out the suggested above. It's a great source to really make the decision on your own with reliable information.

For some reason if people want to make a profit off cannabis legally are considered evil greedy bastards. But those who oppose prop 19 because they want to continue to profit off of prohibition are ok. lolThanks for the Link.

If that was true then the polling data wouldn't be so close. It's actually a very small vocal minority in the medical cannabis community.practically the entire medical marijuana community is opposed to this bill, and in this day & age in california almost anyone who smokes is a patient.

That's a very interesting claim. In the 11 yrs. I've been a legally sanctioned MMJ patient, I've personally known a whopping two others that were also legally using MMJ in CA... and I know a lot of pot smokers. That said, though I can't speak for the "medical community" as I've only known two others like myself, I certainly can speak for the myriad pot smokers I know, none of whom are opposed to this bill.practically the entire medical marijuana community is opposed to this bill, and in this day & age in california almost anyone who smokes is a patient.
