You Really Want It Legal?

Legalize it.
The whole reason its around is to smoke it.
Not to mention it gets a bad name from people who try to sell a little crack with your dub.
It should be looked upon as a way to relax, without throwing up in the morning.

If marijuana was legalized im afraid the economy would go downhill and crime rates would be through the roof. But it would be more important for the government to crack down more on harder drugs such as crack cocaine and crystal meth

Can you explain the downfall of the economy and the rise of crime rates? I don't see the logic. If anything I can see crime rates falling as there wouldn't be these arrests for marijuana. And maybe even it being a help to the economy. i.e. jobs and taxes. If it was legal there would be so much more to it than there is now. People would be employed on all levels: growing, packaging, shipping, advertising. It would not have to be just a local thing. You can even logically predict that with legalization, even the sale of smoking paraphernalia would rise out of societal acceptance of it.

I beg to differ, because just like the guy below this stated,it would help boost the economy with new jobs, something else to tax besides ciggs. to help immigrant children get health care while american children don't even always have health care, and it would increase sales for all major ciggarette company out there.
Fact: Phillip morris(Marlboro) already has advertising campaigns ready for the legalization of marijuana. All the designs for packs of joints are ready to go.
So i don't think this imagination theory of yours is gonna happen.
Thanks for your input though!!!

You got any more of whatever it is you smoke?

utbob said:

The end of making a couple million a year for throwing some seeds on the ground? I dunno but you got to admit there are some pretty hefty financial advantages for the shit being illegal. I would think most commercial growers would be strongly against legalization (except the ones already in prison).

U make a couple mil a year?

if its legal they will tax it,make u have permits to grow,and other shit like that.id rather it be illegal.

I would make a great farmer

juss look at it this way would you want to go to jail over this or not?

WRRide said:

It would be so unfortunate for big growers and dealers to have to pay taxes, deal with payroll, financials, and all the other bs legitimate businesses have to deal with. If you are good at running your business you will be able to make money. For example we have a few micro breweries around here that do very well. They get top dollar for their beer because of its quality. Marijuana would be the same way the mass produced stuff would be of lower quality and cheaper than the super high end stuff. Anyway all I am trying to say is there is a room for both types of growers and sellers.

Why would it be of lower quality? you will certainly have people that would only buy quality. you have good quality booze and gut rot. same quality differences would probably appear with weed.

Don't smoke his shit as it seems to make one stupid.

this guy needs to sit back and smoke a blunt while thinking philosophically about the legalization of marijuana and whose side he is on... Marijuana Reform or Prohibition

Well I'm all for legalizing the best plant in the world!

But it would be nice if We could keep the big corporations away from stealing all the cash. It would produce a lot of good paying jobs I'm sure.

All and all the world would be a better place though, there would be more stoned happy people that wouldn't have to worry about going to jail.

Legalize! Its just that simple.

~PEACE~

There are greater benefits then just getting your hands on some awesome ganja. From Bio degradable plastic, petroleum, clothing, building materials, nutritional supplements, paper, the list goes on. The best part is I have heard little in the way of people protesting except for the police and prison system who profit greatly from our suffering.

Albeit I really love being able to grow my own supply in my backyard. Imagine getting bud from all around the world. Look at all the micro brewers and wine makers. There are thousands/millions of them and they still manage to make a living doing what they love. It is good to live in California.

Welcome to RIU Dezertdog!

Right right, good points. Lets not forget about biodiesel too. The first cars were actually made to run off of the hemp oil. (I thought petroleum refers to fossil fuels?)

Hemp oil blows away ethenol, from corn, by far! Hemp oil is a great alternative to gasoline and is a viable solution.

But its all about politics. The rich people have a monopoly on the oil fields and so many other things that hemp would destroy their market.

What We need is a REVOLUTION! Everyone against the "elites"!

~PEACE~

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

No offense, but open a history book and checkout what resolved most of the Gang Wars in the 1920s-1930s and part of the Great Depression.

Billions (yes billions) of dollars are wasted a year on the war on drugs, millions specifically for marijuana and it hasn't done AANYTTHING. NOT A FUCKING DENT.

It's actually made it worse, this huge black market that's now created through it being illegal causes murder, corruption of this plant and the government , and now people think of it as this crazy gross drug that's horrible for people and society. Not to mention, the high ups of the game are making huge amounts of money from this black market.

Oh yea, the highest cash crop in America today: Guess what it is?

here, get educated:

PS: if the USA legalized marijuana, but with laws similar to alcohol, maybe even slightly stricter would be fine. We would have enough money to probably earn back the entire United States deficit within 5 years and it would completely knock out drug dealers (of marijuana) because why go do something illegal off sketchy, over-priced fucks when we could go to a store and do it legally. Think about it, it takes a shitload of money to keep a marijuana user in jail as well, there's a lot of factors people don't take into consideration.

Alcohol is legal, yet the laws in most countries don't allow you to walk down the street with an open container. Same concept, keep it inside, no driving with it. I don't see how this isn't already legal, 0 deaths > hundreds of thousands due to alcohol and millions due to tobacco, and this plant HEALS.

Fuck I'm getting carried away and frustrated just talking about it.

Sorry bout that, apologies around.
