Dont get me wrong, im a stern believer that it should, for reasons that you all know, and I cant be bothered to get into it...
But dont you think there's something a bit fun about it bieng illegal? And who do you think would really benifit from the laws being changed. How much tax would they slap on??? I recon you could add on about 25% to what you're paying now...

no offense man but you gotta edjumicate urself. If it was legal, there would be companies making it. COMPANIES WITH 5 mile wide growing rooms, shelling out hudnreds of pounds a day from a perfect and proven method. just like they do with tabaco. Compare this to untrained indiviudals growing it in their closets and selling it on the streets, its a black market drug and its production is illegal therefore making it cost WAY MORE THEN ITS SUPPOSED TO. A pack of cannabis joints, im guessing would look just like a pack of cigs with a bunch of joints in it lol. and it would BE WAYYY WAY WAY CHEAPER. could probably pick up a pack of 12 joints for around 5-10 bucks, depending on the quaility.
Well I'm pretty sure they have thought about taxes but what about those that grow? I dont think it'll be legalized because of cultivation alone. It'll be just like dealing if you grow and sell. Your not paying for anything but electricity, gro materials and seeds so therefore the government isnt getting any profit from the sells. As for the weed that would be sold in stores they would get some revenue but not 100% of the marijuana going around America so I dont think that will happen. But marijuana being legal probably wouldnt do much because you'd still have to be 18 to buy it probably so kids probably would still be going to those shady dealers.Quote:

I don't want it legal altogether though. If they do, it will be nothing like Holland. The government will tax the living the shit out of it, and if you've been reading reports of current government controlled marijuana, you'd know that it is of low quality and crap. You'd still be paying money for crap weed.
If they let everyone have like a 4 plant limit for personal use in their homes, I'd go for that, but I wouldn't want to be buying shagg pot taxed by the government. The sad thing is, that is what will happen. There's money to be had.
You arent getting it man. If it was legal, all types of bud could be grown and in PERFECT GROWING CONDITIONS, some dank bud, no doubt, will be procuced by companies. they do want to compete for buisiness dont they? And the price (due to the fact that it will be made in bulk and in huge fucking factories) i gurantee will be at least 5 times less then current marijuana street prices. even a tax as high as 25% by the government isnt reason to say that you dont want it legal lol.Quote:

Think of it this way. the price of an item is determinted by how much of that item can be produced in a given amount of time. pay very careful attention to the following example: A car made in a factory that can only produce 1 car at a time that takes 10 days to make, will be more expensive then a car from a factory that shells out 100s of cars a day. (obviously no car company has a factory like that but its just a comparison)Compare that to individuals growing marijuana, and companies growing marijuana. but because its illegal THERE ARE NO FACTORIES and there ARE no companys. you dont realize it but right now marijuana prices are on a stool not flat ground. (flat ground being its TRUE value) Illegality makes production risky, causing the marijuana-price-stool stand even taller off the ground.
LOL, i dont have anything to say. except, a very polite... you are stupid. You have to know politics and economics to know whether legalization would be benneficial to us. And you obviously have no knowledge of either, so please just chill out. im not trying to attack you, just show you that you are wrong.Quote:

Dont include me in that "children". People that dont have much knowledge of a complicated political topic but they dont but still decide to give their horribly informed :twocents: and then CONTINUE TO DEFEND their horribly informed :twocents: after having been proven wrong just make me a little mad.Quote:
