Hehe, you are correct on that. Taxing it like crazy would be counter-productive for the companies selling it. People would just end up growing it to evade the tax. It would be taxed, yes, everyone knows this. But like FlyByNite said, they couldn't tax it to or above the black market value... the legitimate market just doesn't work that way.Quote:

ye but u have to understand that some people develop psychosis, schizophrenia, depression etc. and lets be honest when ur baked all u want to do is the stuff u enjoy, so if ur a kid and your going through school your obviously going to learn less cos your too busy enjoyin yourself: skippin school with your buds is obviously more fun than sitting in math class baked off your face daydreaming about random stuff. in otherwards it affects your motivation towards the shitty stuff that u have to do in life . What im tryin to say is for a lot of people in certainn lifestyles its AOK and there's no harm in it but for others, they should just smoke when their lifestyle is less hectic.
Since this is a very Debatable Topic, I'll make it short and sweet.
IMHO. I think if I were given the chance to smoke weed I probably wouldn't have done it. Just like cigarettes and Alcohol. They have always been there to buy and use, except for not being 21...MY question is, how many people In Canada are addicted to Marijuana compared to the people Addicted to Cigarettes, alcohol, and Hard core drugs, i.e. meth, cocaine, heroine,etc...
I think if anything should be illegal it should be alcohol. Its the most abused substance known to man, has the most deadly withdrawals, very addicting, and has more recorded deaths and OD's then any other drug. Marijuana on the other hand has no recorded OD's and zero deaths from withdrawals(lol weed withdrawals..). Anyways I am very high and my point was lost...Rant over.

Well, alcohol was illegal at one point, at least in the US. No substance should be illegal, not alcohol or tobacco, or even meth! If meth was legalized, at least it wouldn't be as tainted with household chemicals. It would most likely be produced in a professional scientific lab, not using a bunch of household cleaning supplies and lame shit like that. Not that meth or any amphetamine is good for you, they're pretty bad. Then again, the pharmaceutical companies have no problem giving kids amphetamines for their ADD (ritalin, adderall).Quote:

[Drug],-Noun, Verb, Drugged/Drug-ging
noun
1. Pharmacology. a chemical substance used in the treatment, cure, prevention, or diagnosis of disease or used to otherwise enhance physical or mental well-being.
A Substanced used in Treatment, Cure, Prevention, Or Diagnosis of Disease...
So How does Meth do this? Thats how I look at drugs, or doing drugs.
Marijuana on the other is used, and proven to Haven Cured, Prevented, maybe not diagnosed, but is alot less hardcore as meth and Doesn't kill you and or Turn you into
"Skeletor!"
So ya Maybe Just have like Cigarettes, Alcohol, Marijuana be legal and call it good??

The only information I have ever found as to why marijuana is illegal dates back to the mid-1930s and involves the possible loss of profit from softwood sales by William Hearst, as cannibis was found to produce more paper pulp per acre than his forest lands. I also found comments that a congressional committee lied to Congress about a report submitted by the AMA. Hearst 'demonized' the drug by blaming its presence on Mexicans, whom he hated, and making comments like, "when coloreds smoke Marijuana, it makes them think they are as good as white people." Dupont played a part in this as hemp ropes would outsell their new nylon ropes (as hemp was a superior rope), so they had to get rid of it to increase their sales and profits. Names such as Anslinger and Mellon come to mind. Please do your own research.
As far as age limits, I think the age of adulthood should be 19, as this gets just about everyone out of high school. At this point, they become full adults. I have always thought it strange that I could die for my country at 18, but could not buy a drink.
I do not smoke now, but did in the early 1970s. If it were legal, I doubt I would smoke it, and in countries where it is legal, the average user quits in his mid-30s. This is documented. In spite of this, I think our country spends way to much of the taxpayers money fighting this innocuous drug.
who in there right mind would say no to this *toke*
of course it should be legalized..
