The only bad thing about legalization

[GartthyTheGreat]

Now, I'm all for legalizing pot. Like everyone, I get paranoid. a\I hate being paranoid, but I've done some of the funniest and stupidest things because I was paranoid and I don't want to lose those moments. If weed were legal, there would be no more paranoia.

Well...they could leave the Halloween haunted houses open all year long. That would help...:glugglug:

[paleshadoe]

even if it were legalized, that doesn't mean it will automatically become socially acceptable. so don't worry, I'm sure you can feed some paranoia from the social stigma. lol

The human condition is inclusive of paranoia. There will always be ways to induce it. :p

Find yourself a second girlfriend... Paranoia is guaranteed...:thumbsup:

Yeah man there were many embarassing moments I've had in the past that more or less had to do with me doing something dumb on pot rather than just getting caught being high. For instance, it almost seems like every time I try and order food I end up looking like a fool. :stoned:

Man I think the biggest problem with legalization will by the price will go up and the quality will go down..

[Trip06]

There will be NO pantries to raid at all, once scarcity is not a problume!!!!!

I'm not too sure about that. If it was legal there would be a control, like any other growing products. There is more chances that the quality will go up... As for the price I have no idea but for government will tax it for sure !

Man I think the biggest problem with legalization will by the price will go up and the quality will go down..

When it becomes legalized it will be legalized for several reasons...One being so that they can flood the market with it and eliminate the black market's hand in the marijuana business. In turn, you see a very cheap price, with the tax being the most expensive part of it, because marijuana simply grows...As for quality, it would likely be the same if not better..Marijuana's only expensive because it's illegal...

Hmmm, if the quality dropped and price increased then surely that would create a new Black Market?

Nah, it would be taxed heavily but the end-price would likely be the same imho. Quality would be better but perhaps with limits on certain hashes/oils/budder etc.

But for now (in the UK at least) this is just a pipe-dream - we are stupidly reclassifying cannabis to a higher level next year. Going from U.S equiv Schedule III to Schedule II - (UK Class C to Class B) as far as I understand it.

Meh...

LOL - I realise now Markass posted the same thing before me...

Wait...the title, the only bad thing about legalization..... wheres the bad part, i must be missing something :wtf:

[BeefsMyFav]

but to continue the paranoid stories... i was on my buddies porch smokin a blunt and a helicopter flew over, thousands of feet up, and my friend started freakin out sayin hide the blunt, get inside, a helicopter lol :hippy:

[vej33]

i dunno about you, but i don't get paranoid about cops bursting through my door. i get paranoid about more realistic things.. oh shit did i leave the stove on? did i miss work? is anyone at work going to be able to tell im blazed? am i acting real stupid? is everyone talking about me? will i ever amount to anything? is smoking weed going to kill me?

i mean the possibilities to paranoy about are endless. (yes i know i just Verbed that word, don't paranoy about it :P) don't worry, i'm sure you'll still act the fool once it's legal :)

[seattlesmoke247]

rofl that is hilarious!

[GartthyTheGreat]

Hah, I really hope tobacco companies don't take over cannabis if it were legal and put like nicotine in it, that would be gross D:

[JohnnyZ]

You never know, it depends on who seizes control of the market.

Think about it, as soon as it becomes legal, the big grow-ops will start pumping out all the weed they can since a bunch of newbies will be looking for fresh game.

Quality will for sure go down, but I'm talking about your every day weed. Nothing with a name but not piss-poor stuff.

And in terms of price, just look at alcohol. Here in Manitoba, we pay about $30 for a 2-4 of beer. In Quebec, it's almost half the price. When the government regulates this kind of stuff, it gets out of hand. Just look at cigarettes. I mean, no one should smoke today's cigarettes with all the shit they put in them, but they probably cost 1/100th of what you pay for it.

Then again, the whole supply/demand thing could even out. Growers will grow more and buyers will buy more.

I just gave a lot of what if's. This doesn't help anyone. My bad.

[blizz]

i heard that in cali you have to have fire inspectors make sure nothing is going ot burn down and cops have to be aware if your growing your own marijauana?

[flyingimam]

my theory is this: I smoke this to relax and enjoy it. fuck the paranoia! I will be willing to pay the same expensive price but get it legally without having to worry about the legal/social and permanent blackhole that can suck u in forever with 1 mistake or through one asshole!

I hope u r not really making a point out of this against legalization. I take it as a joke :D:jointsmile:

[PrinceOfPot]

I totally agree dude, I hate being paranoid, but I love it at the same time.

I think theres alot we would lose by legalizing, our whole community of outlaws would be disbanded!

Its always cool when youre getting to know someone and you realize they blaze too. Its a fun underground community where we all get to be closet criminals and feel like we're unique from our uptight society.

If it were legalized we would be same as any boring cog in the machine smoking cigarettes in their car in traffic on the way home from another day at work.

[silkyblue]

I dont care how much it cost I'll grow my owen

Its legal in some States
