4 states

what if the government legalized weed in four states...like....the west coast plus alaska?
that way all the pot heads in america could move there and not be punished if they were caught.
the prisons and jails wouldnt be so overcrowded and otherwise innocent people wouldnt have to be locked up.
i think this would be a good idea, plus.....all sorts of studies would be performed on these states to see if crime rate would go cdown and if cannabis isage had gone up any...although i doubt cannabis users would drastically increase....the crime rate would almost surely fall...
why dont they do this?
i know, i know...economics and the corporations....but....goddamnit, this is a good idea.

they dont do it because they know it would work and then they would have to make it legal in all states

It's pretty much legal in Alaska now. And it's pretty lenient in Cali too.

But, when I say I want legalization, I mean I want to be able to go down to Walgreens and buy me a pack of Marlboro Greens.

Ugh, fuck marlboro.

I'd rather buy some newly-invented hippie brand that devotes half of it's profits to helping africa or something...

What if they just legalized it to being with. I think thats a better argument.

That is a GREAT idea! But we should make it 3 states. California, Alaska and Washington.
I am sorry but Oregon did not make the cut.

Well Alaska wouldn't have many jobs, I wouldn't think. Cali's cost of living would keep a lot of people from relocating just for legal weed. And I'm not to sure about Washington.

The states should be spread out so that there would be decent options to choose from. A southern state, a northern state, east and west, plus them little islands where dog the bounty hunter lives :)

It wouldnt work. There would be high crime. even thought it would be legal, there would be junkies INFESTING those states, if there were one or two. Especially small states like alaska. I mean its a nice thought but if you legalize in a couple states, it has to be universally legal. Its just how it goes.

No it doesn't, and it won't be. The legalization process is going to be very slow moving. We can already see what states will likely be the first. Nevada, Washington, and Cali will make the move long before southern states follow, if they do in our lifetime. Mississippi has a shot, but Louisiana, Texas, etc are very strict on weed. It won't just suddenly be made legal everywhere.
