if not legalization, then decriminalization.

if it was legalized and taxed, our country would have SO much money to fight wars and shit with.

So true, so true. But then the cops would have to get off of lurking on message boards like this and chase REALLY bad guys with guns, not nugs....lol

You're right about the amount of money that could be generated through taxation. Even if as many people grow their own as do now, the amount the govt. would make from legal sales could finance a HUGE amount of health care.

....but like Scarlett said, it would probably go towards blowing people up.

I disagree. With the relative ease that it can be grown, and th elegal aspect no longer a deterant from growing, I don't think that much if any weed will go through any kind of government controlled sales process. Unless of coarse, they could deliver a significantly superier product. I don't see that happening.

Yes, it's easy, but it is time consuming. You have to find someone to tend to your garden when you're on vacation or away on business. And not everyone feels like they have a green thumb.

It's legal and very easy to brew your own beer, but I don't think that puts too much of a gash in the profits (and tax payments) of Budweiser, Coors, Miller, etc.

i think a company with money to spend like malboro would be able to fork out the money needed n i believe they could deliver a product that would be eaquel to our hydro

That doesn't matter, they spend sooooo much on the drug war that simply stopping it would save billions.

No, because everyone would start toking up and realise there's no point in fighting all the time !

Anyway, this thread sounds like the stoned ramblings of a naive child. No offence Euphoric, i'm just really lean right now ! How's the music going?

You're right that they COULD produce such a product. But it would greatly harm their profits from cigarettes, and that's a product that nobody can grow on their own at home. So the big tobacco companies have a monopoly on it.

Three groups will spend whatever is necessary to keep cannabis and cannabis products as a schedule 1 drug.....pharmaceutical companies, tobacco companies, and beer/liquor companies. All three have so much to lose that it's worth tens of millions of dollars to them to keep MJ from ever being legal, even if it's monitored the same way prescription medicines, liquor, beer, and tobacco are.

It's going to take a HUGE leap of faith by politicians to lower it from a schedule 1 drug to a much lower rating before we can expect any changes in the laws. That's why joining groups such as NORML is so important. You don't think alcohol was made legal after prohibition because people stayed in the closet and kept in the dark. It took money.....in the hands of the government, in the pockets of politicians, and especially in the pockets of huge corporate big-wigs before it was re-legalized. And that drug is infinitely more harmful than any cannabis product ever used. Money, money, money....
