Eff this in the A. Medical is a greedy bitch. What's that Medical? Chasing the "American Dream"?

Lit Up Reviewed by Lit Up on 02-26-2009. I hope they don't completely legalize. And I'll tell you why... Look at alcohol for example, it's true that alcohol is legal and everyone that wants to be in the alcohol business can, if they have the money for the license and certifications and all the bullshit that comes with it to allow people to sell alcohol legally. It is extremely difficult to make alcohol and sell without a license. And the license to sell alcohol costs $35,000 and there is a 6 month waiting list, unless you have the money to by a ready made business Rating: 5

Yes it's all about you...never mind the millions of potential patients that don't live in LA.

That would make sense. Thanks for that. How much higher of a tax do you think they would put on it? Percentage-wise i suppose, because the "sin" tax on that I have no doubt would be much greater than alcohol.

I am sure the tax will be different-state to state! Like the Bible Belt's extra tax's for sin.

Here in CA we have voted on increasing our gas taxes for the eco system and still pay it--dah, the eco system is now a national effort and we taxed ourselves to hell and back. Every so many years we tack on a dime or, as per the propositiona we passed (sorry folks, I did not vote for that one-due to the far reaching years of added taxes and unknown prices-like now). It was right after we voted it in that gas doubled here and hasn't been below around $1.65 since (and then, that price hasn't been around in 5 yrs).

When we vote, we need to really understand what we vote for. So, when it is a National Freedom, be careful what you vote for when it comes to taxes.

The projected nat'l breakdown of taxes would be interesting. Right now, the bill in Calif, as stated has a proposed tax of $50. per ounce!

I like Hedgehog, as we know our Milk, Cigs, pizza, can of beans and alcohol/wine are taxed differently. In fact, we do pay tax on milk at the grocery store (have for over 40 years or more to my knowledge). Cigs are taxed too much--particularly since it doesn't go into a fund to help the people that are unfortunate to get cancer later.

We must remember, our taxes are going up, in every form. If they legalized and decriminalized, Federally-I'd see it as a shot in the arm for the economy. Plus, I'd like to put all politicians on a great Sativa or at the very least NCDG (some Indica)! Why a great sativa without Indica--I know that a sativa actually stirs up long muscle pain! That is a fact. I've discussed it with a few people with types of pain (would be a new thread) that a strict sativa will make you hurt, if you have injuries! It hurt enough to make me quit for a long time, until I came here and found Indica! :jointsmile:

Sativa to D.C!!!

Maybe instead of mailing letters we should be sending an annoymous eigth to our representatives! Then call DEA on um for having it!:jointsmile:

Legalization Nationally is only common sense.

I am sure Medicaldelivery is busy opeining a few more disp. today, since D.C. Attn: Gen. announced they will leave medical dispensaries alone now--NO MORE DEA BUSTS FOR LEGIT BUSINESS'S!!! But, the LAPD declares, the local laws remain the same, break the restrictions and they will get you! PR :hippy::rastasmoke::jointsmile:

Weedhound: I'm with you. With a better image, and responsible advocates interested in promoting the medical benefits of cannabis instead of their own self-serving interests...medical cannabis can be a reality. Witout this image, we will all be looked down upon as the prepeptual Cheech and Chong crowd.

But if cannabis is ever listed by the feds as a dispensable drug...likely you can kiss legalization goodbye. Name one other drug that's listed by the feds as a prescription drug (controlled substance) and is also legal to use recreationally. The feds are kinda funny that way. But I'm cool with that too, as I grow some killer meds, and so can you, lol.

When it is legalized....the big $$$ corporations will exploit weed and go into full warehouse production.......imagine a 5 acre warehouse fully set up for weed cultivation.

Thats no biggie... I have a cousin with 5 acres of climate controlled greenhouses for breeding orchids. That could be used for an enormous crop.

supposedly, they already beat us to it ... story went around, back in the early 70's, that Kentucky tobacco companies copyrighted the popular pot names (Acapulco Gold, Panama Red, etc., etc.), in case pot ever got legal, they'd already have their foot in the door ... dunno how true it was :smokin:

I would love to walk in a store, show ID for age, and buy some joints. However, I don't think MJ will ever be legalized in our lifetime. Best case scenario is that it's legalized for medicinal use only across the USA. Either way, it's just a plant and people will grow it, legal or not.:thumbsup::hippy:

Once you are growing it legally, it slowly becomes more of a chore. But I'm sure I could wrap my head around a warehouse of organic soil hybrids, with charity auction Tuesdays and Primo Fridays, with end-of-bud clearance sales. (cured nugget grab-bags)
