Would legalising weed really be better??

[Reefer Rogue]

Dont get me wrong, im a stern believer that it should, for reasons that you all know, and I cant be bothered to get into it...

But dont you think there's something a bit fun about it bieng illegal? And who do you think would really benifit from the laws being changed. How much tax would they slap on??? I recon you could add on about 25% to what you're paying now...

Yes it would be better, a lot better. Think of all the people that go to jail for non violent cannabis related charges. It's bullshit. If it were legal I think it would be cheaper. They would try and tax us but people would still grow their own. There is an element of fun in it being illegal, the rush, always trying not to get caught. Being stealthy and shit. However, if weed was legal say goodbye to paranoia.

I never even thought of the fact that the black market of cannabis would disinegrate if it were legalized. I mean, look at Holland, 4 million people living there and only 2% of the country uses hard drugs. They say it's because cannabis is legal and available almost as easy as grabbing a lager. People have that freedom to indulge.

I just don't like thinking about the tax they will put on marijuana ciggs.. And I know they will have perfect growing conditions, hell, they do already, but they're going to hire half asses growers for cheap and grow half asses weed. They are good for one thing, getting the cheapest candidate for the cheapest wage, and charge a hefty price for it.

I know buying a pack of 24 marijuana ciggs.. will not be as cheap as tobacco, no way! I don't think cannabis will be that much cheaper to buy if it is packaged, and sold by companies in pre-rolled ciggs. Not for me anyways.

I know you struggling smokers out there paying upwards of $400 for an ounce. I feel your struggle there.

I am all for legalizing and letting people have a plant limit, in their home, for personal use, much like Holland. Having cafes and designated smoking areas, yeah, but I don't want to buy cannabis ciggs.. in the stores, like you buy tobacco. I'd prefer to control quality myself, or go to a cafe where there are real growers. Not super scientists who gum up the works by making shit harder than it has to be.

I'm done ranting now.
