    I don't think marijuana should be legal in US--your thoughts?

    ...I'd just /love/ to help you 'preserve that precious genetic variety'...

    and if you /EVER/ get 'round to the Toronto or GTArea... look me up! I have some very fine Purple Kush I'd like to help 'preserve'...

    I think at the very least they need to decriminalize it. There are MUCH worse crimes than weed possession, or cultivation, etc. As long as you're not selling it to kids. If you do sell to kids, the punishment should be about the same as buying beer for minors.

    The cops/govt will likely not allow weed to become completely legal, since they help create artificially high prices, and make lots of money off the sales and distribution of marijuana. I say the law enforcement makes money off the sales and distribution not in the same method as the dealers do, although sometimes that is still the case. They help control who gets busted, and who does not. Also, I find it strange how a 500 pound bust turns into 12 pounds of shake by the time it reaches the station..... and how $200,000 turns into $25,000 when it gets reported into the books.

    I'm not saying all the law enforcement officers are corrupt with marijuana, but I am saying that no one watches over them, and the temptation is certainly there for all cops who deal with pot busts.

    Local countys are unlikely to stop busting and prosecuting small and large time growers, since each case makes the county on average close to $10,000 if they successfully prosecute the grower/dealer/smoker. Although this practice is looked down upon by most taxpayers (who have to pay for the cases win or lose), the prosecutors don't seem to mind spending billions of taxpayer dollars busting and prosecuting harmless offenders of victimless crimes (IE pot busts), since they won't ever have to flip the bill.

    This is why I seriously doubt marijuana will become fully legal in the US.

    I'm sure you really know this, but sanitizing between seed runs, washing clothes and controling pollen is probably a good idea with the purebreds around. One "oops" cancels-out a thousand "atta-boys". :thumbsup:

    Not to pry...but how does one get a job like that? Something like that might force me to rethink my unemployment status.

    Oh yes, I have separate boxes with HEPA filtration and as soon as I harvest seed the entire thing gets a half-strength chlorine bleach sterilization.

    I got this through helping out a nice lady at Sacred Origin, giving her ideas, helping her with her documentation database for all sorts of seeds. She does this as well and she loved my LED lights, so she got me a gig doing this under LED lighting for study and research.

    And yes, I breed their stuff, send it to them, then I want to see what I can get as well from mixing. I do keep some pure stock on hand at all times. Those interested need only come to me, I won't ship these out by mail, too risky to lose such rare genetics.

    ... because even though the mass-profits would likely vanish overnight for those doing it purely 'commercially'... there would still be room in the 'market' for those of us who produce quality stuph, even if only for our immediate circle of friends.

    In the free market, there's room for both Big Max and F!let Mign0n...

    We get one step closer to ending this crazy "drug war" on our people is good enough reason for me.

    That's a very interesting thought. The selling of weed would end up in corruption like any thriving American business. They would lower the quality and raise the price and illegal selling would still continue. It would end up going to foreign countries and people would be growing it and making nothing for it. Weed is one of the only robust businesses in this country that corporate leaders aren't profiting off of. Instead, the middle class are benifiting and that's the way it should be. Also, the thought of smoking weed for the purpose of these corporate leaders to gain capital is repulsive. Plus, they would tax it which would be more money out of the middle classes pockets. If they legalized marijuana, i would grow my own.
    The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e., the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force.

    That's all find and dandy, but what of the prohibitionist laws that are currently in place ruining peoples lives simply due to the use and/or possession of these currently illicit substances? Screw them because YOU have a beef with corporate international and big business?

    Oh yeah, the boulder has started rolling down hill...there's no stopping legalization now.

    We will see, both, good and bad to come along with this but I think we can all agree that the bad to come won't be anywhere near the bad the gov't has perpatrated on us for 70 years!
