The only people who have a real reason to want it illegal are full time dealers. Not kid's who worry about finding someone to buy it for them. You know how easy it is to get cigarettes as a kid? It will be the same for weed.

Well in England its practically decriminalised anyway... you can walk past a copper with a joint burning in yer hand and he wont bat an eyelid unless youre around children. Ive told this story many times on cann.com, but I like it so Ill tell it again.
I was once in a park with a couple of mates smoking a blunt, and a copper was standing downwind of us about 15 metres away. He just stood at the park gate, watching us (probably making sure we werent vandalising or causing trouble). He stood there until we had finished, and we walked past him on the way out. All he said was 'alright lads' then he walked off in the opposite direction.
Cops really dont care about weed in this country, as long as you arent causing trouble whilst smoking it (or are visibly young).
Viva la England!!!
It was $3.50 until Texas raped us with tobacco tax. Five dollar cigarettes don't taste so sweet.Quote:

i agree, the quality wouldn't go down the shithole... if anything one company would be competing with another for the highest quality, in which we would probably see super strong ass shit we can't even imagine now... billions and billions spent by a company just to find a way to make it even stronger, so their product sells faster and better then all th eones on the market now...
marketing is nothing more than a giant game of leap frog.... just look at all the diffrent types and strengths of alcohol we have.... we have everythign from drink a 12 pack and you'll still be only buzzed, to drinkt he same equivelant (in fluid ozs) and you'll be in the hospital and probably die...
at some point someone went "hmm... this shit isn't strong enough! i want something i can pour in my gas tank and make my fucking car run!" and then everclear was born....
lol.... to think the companies would start mass producing pure shit, is just stupid (literally).. maybe at the very begining there wouldn't be a whole lot of good stuff to choose from.. but eventually some company would step up and say "i want a product that fucking puts everyone else out of the market.."
i agree in that it shouldnt become legalized, decriminalized yes, legal no. NOT for the same reasons as 420. i dont even smoke weed so availability to me is not an issue.

lmfao... when the new tax hit (i was around and smoking when the one before this one went in affect... infact, i had just started being let by my grandparents to smoke when this new tax went into effect and brought marlboros up from like a dollar something-2 dollars all the way up to over 3 bucks...) i was like FUUUUUUUUUUCK... cuz at the time i had been smoking the cheapest shit on the market (these cigarettes are only sold in texas and flordia literally, so you might of heard of them... they're called golden beach...) anyways... my used to be 1.50 (including tax) packs of cigarettes, went up to over 3 damn dollars... FUCKING 3 DOLLARS! the price marlboro's used to charge..Quote:
