How many commercial farmers would emerge? Or better yet how many people here would give up there 40 hr work week to strictly grow and much less do you think the value of your crop would be

dude if it became completely legal, no huge grow ops would emerge cause anyone with half a brain would grow they're own so they didn't have to pay anyone for it. and money wouldn't really be made from the bud, it would become a non issue pretty much(best outcome). and it wouldn't be a big deal anymore.


haha soOoOoo high, 4:20 here in so cal!

I think a lot of you would be disappointed if it was 100% legalized. If it is, I'm willing to be that it will only be legal after the government puts a hefty tax on it, degrades it, and tells you how and where to smoke it. I think you would see an attempt to highly regulate marijuana once it was legal. I also think that there would be rules against manufacturing. They're going to want to control it. The trade off will come in the form of you giving away a little more of your personal freedom just to smoke.

It not being nearly as addictive as alcohol or tobacco plays a big part in why it's illegal. Why would the government make something legal and tax it if aren't going to be almost positive that once somebody starts to use this product, they have a customer for life.

I just don't think 100% legal is the best case scenario. If it happened tomorrow, it would be because the government is up to something.

The government scares or fools people in to giving up their simple personal freedoms everyday. They're SO good at it, that most people will ask them to do it, without even realizing it. Its to give the illusion of "security" .

I agree. people should just move to the nearest 420 friendly state and get a medical card and grow/smoke/live in fucking peace. No worries at all and i love the fact that i can call the cops on my little weed snatchin neighbor kids lol and they go next door and talk to these kids' parents and i get my weed back lol ya that happened last night.

I find it hard to believe that they wouldn't have their dick in it if it was legal.

If it ever became fully legal I feel distribution would still remain illegal and the goverment would break the country up into quarters and allow two huge grow opps per quarter in wich they would pay and then redistribute at even higher profits than now.Home growers would be taxed per lb. for personal use.

If it were 100% legal in the U.S., within a short period of time you'd see massive grow operations. Why would a farmer grow corn, beans, etc etc when the profit margin of MJ or even hemp is MUCH higher?

It's all supply and demand. There will always be people who would rather just buy it than grow it. When you can grow it, and grow it easily, the demand for farmers will drop and so will the price obviously.

I personally think the greatest benefit would be for the smokers who do buy it would see prices drop dramatically. Lower prices is not a good sign for the dealers though.

I do see the potential for problems between cotton farmers and those wishing to grow hemp. Hemp also gives the forestry business a worry. Not to mention hemp farming is easier than alot of other types of farming.

I'd put money on it that some farming and forestry lobbyist have their hands in politicians pockets feeding them $$ to keep hemp illegal. Why legalize something that could take away your job and way of life?

Prison builders and DEA agents want to keep it illegal so they can keep their jobs as well. DEA guys are gunna be pissed when they have to start kicking in meth heads doors and going to war with them rather than knocking on the potheads door and threatening to take away his Twinkie stash.

I think "decriminalization" or "tolorance" is the direction people should be moving in. I don't think that anyone should have the right to smoke it walking down any city street anywhere in america. I DO feel that you should be able to smoke in your house or on your property anywhere in america. Businesses could determine if they were going to allow people to smoke in their establishment or maybe have a smoking section. Just like everything thing else in this world, there is a time and a place for this.

Some people are never going to get over the stigma that has surrounded marijuana for the past 50 years. There are intelligent and stupid people that use all drugs, and I can't help but see idiot pot heads forcing the fact that it's legal on people who don't smoke, which is wrong. It's like somebody who is gay and so proud that they feel the need to alert the whole world of their homosexuality. That isn't a good comparison, but the reaction from people would be similar. " I don't care if you are or not, but it's starting to get annoying" I don't run around telling people I'm straight, nor should smokers go everywhere throwing the fact that they can smoke in peoples faces. It WILL happen.

This is the case with MANY things on our planet.

Personally I don't think we will see it 100% legal in our lifetime. At best, one by one, states will legalize it for medicial use and if the states run it and opens the dispenserys it will be non profit so the profitability will be takin away. In otherwords, if it's free for med use, there is no way anyone will make money at it. If it were ever made 100 % legal, then yep, peolpe will grow it everywhere. For sure then no one will make money on it but one thing for sure, be a lot of stoned people everywhere. Maybe that would be a good thing though. Teach people how to chill without taking prescription drugs.
Just in case, I know most peps on this site including me will be ready to sell it out of a store front just like a liquer store if it ever becomes legal.

and likie with all business, someone with a lot of money will also figure "hey, profit margins!" and open up a weed growing complex, hire on a thousand employees, grow in insurmountable bulk and undercut all other competition, just as you can see with everything, be it beer, etc etc

all goverment officials could be placed into new jobs on the actual control on the legaliztion of weed such as if you need to buy a license to grow and they state you can grow 2 lbs a quarter or what ever the amount in home inspectors would be needed to make sure of that amount say your license is good for 2lbs and your caught growing 10 you would be fined on the other 8 you would think dea agents would rather handing out tickets as an inspector inspectors for site plan on grow rooms or outdoor plans to meet some sort of compliance ect ect
