well i will agree with the crime thing. most street crime is because of crack or meth not over herb. dont get me wrong i do know that it happens occasionaly but i been down with far more people for shootin some one over a rock than a bud. as a matter of fact i aint never been in the joint with someone who shot another for reefer.
now i do beleive that it will have an impact on non-violent crime most people locked down over pot are there for posession or dealing.
and the economy thing that is our best argument we got right now. by legalizin we also get hemp. wich right now we import from spain or india. why?
underage drug use well dont seem that the partnership for a drug free america is doin much either. but underage drinking and smokin is nothin like it was when i was a teenager. so progress has been made with 2 substances both legal.
one other thing i agree with this guy on the argument that alchohol and tobaco are far worse than pot does not strenghten our case but strengthens the case against booze and cigerrettes. it like choosing the lesser of two evils wich is still choosin evil. we have to make our case about the benifits of decrimilizing.
no doubt! that's so offensive is it not? I'm not convinced the guy that wrote this article ever toked up. he's probably just comparing it to something he has tried, beer. rule #1 don't knock it till you've tried it. i agree, this guy totally shows his ignorance with the weed break comment. and that truely is the battle, ignorance. I just love when I'm around someone who's never done a drug in their life, and when they find out I toke, they start treating me like a crack addict!Quote:

I would just like to toss in a sincere warning, regarding legalized/taxed cannabis theories ... be careful what you wish for ! ... if you think marijuana prohibition has been bad, wait until Uncle Sam thinks you're cheating him outta his tax dollars :wtf: ... remember how they finally nailed Al Capone ? :beatdeadhorse:
they still issue tax stamps in several states. they do in texas. i know they did in arizona at one point in time (not sure if they still do). it was stated though that you had to have the weed with you to apply for the tax stamp. timothy leary took it to the supreme court and part of it was deemed to violate the 5th ammendment because you had to have the marijuana on you to get the stamp. so they wrote the controlled substances act.
now they just use the stamp to throw more charges on you should you get busted selling.
