Ok, this may be better suited for a politics/activism/philosphy hybrid section, but whatever... :stoned:

In wake of the recent financial events, there seems to be more discussion asking what role should government play? And more importantly... how can we PAY for it?

I heard about how they tax a small percentage of stock sales in Europe that, if implimented in the U.S., would bring in about $100,000,000,000 per year. The basic discussion was about finding ways to find reasonable taxation to aid in paying off the debt.

Now, with talk of ridding the government of complete WASTES of money and also searching for new ways to tax shit so we can stop spiraling into our debt oblivion... couldn't this be a benefit to Cannabis culture? In the past, the Drug War has been an ideal that was enforced because of public image and the financial burden was somewhat taboo to speak about. It is to the point where we may have to sacrifice programs that "served a purpose" in the past for the sake of national security.

I feel it is getting to a point where the may actually say:
Politician #1: "You know what... we need some fucking money baaad! Lets let them have their weed, we'll tax them... shit we'll even let them grow their own."
Politician #2: "Hmmm... so we save money, free up prison space for these CEO's , those pot-heads will PAY us... and possibly even LIKE us too?"
Politician #1: "Yup... makes you wonder why we didn't do it years ago."

I don't know... I'm :rasta:
