I think the whole justice system would like to see it just go away.

Without analyzing the statistics, the statement is unsupported. Read this:

Pot Prisoners Cost Americans $1 Billion a Year | NowPublic News Coverage

But try to read between the lines. All those expenditures translate to jobs that will disappear.

 

Anyone interested in history of American Drug War should watch this:

So you think the people that are growing, importing and distributing the stuff now are the Boy Scouts? These people will kill you in a heart beat if you stumble across a field up in the mountains and the guys that import the stuff and sell to children....they are the good guy's? Come on people, think it through a little bit more :idea:

 

Most assuredly they are not the pillars of society. They probably will also not be too happy with someone taking away their source of income.

 

Well said and very good point.

Ah yes. Will you be the on driving down to Mexico to explain your business plan to the cartels? I am sure they are eager for Big American Corp to take over their business.

 

Ah yes, but that's the beauty of it, get America off imported pot forever!

Who knows, the Mexicans might even start a price war, driving down the cost for everyone.......it's a win-win-win-win deal to me! :cornut:

 

So if they are not legitimately growing pot in Mexico, who is picking the vegetables and cutting the lawns in California?

 

The farmers who grow it won't change much, just how it is distributed.

It first needs to be approved by the AMA and then the FDA. If you understand THC and how it is naturally created in "GODS" pharmacy the likely hood of consistent levels to be able to package/market is not yet possible. The future of medical marijuana belongs to man-made cannabinoids. Not the field growers but controlled laboratories. An example of a THC man made clone is Nabilone. This approved by the FDA and can be prescribed by a physician. There are actually a growing list of others as well. HU-211, Dronabinol, Sativex, Rimonabant etc.
If and when it ever does become legal I can assume that the home growers and out of country suppliers will still be selling illegal pot and will never be licensed or approved to grow and sell their products in the USA.

 

It is in California, but probably not in some other states.

Retrain them as health care workers. rrr:

Or, they could start hemp farms.

Give a politician a choice between adding a huge tax revenue source that few object to vs. keeping a union happy. I'll bet on the tax revenue. :lol:

Sacramento couldn't give a flying frog for local economies. They are frequently hanging them out to dry. Besides, the prisons are already overflowing. There are plenty of folk to keep them occupied for the foreseeable future.

Wonderful idea, they could even use it to make paper with and save a tree or two helping solve the Global Warming problem!

 

Wha? You mean it isn't legal now? Well Damn.

I never thought I'd see a topic on this forum that spawned such universal agreement. Love it.

And hellz yeah - legalize and tax it.

 

Amazing and true. C'mon people let's get a little controversy in here. I have it on very good authority, that Jan B. wants to legalize it. Whaddya think of that Partsman and Paul Webster, your boyfriend wants to legalize it:eek6::eek6:

 

I did some research about it last night. Got some really good sleep, too.

 

Inflamatory?....:lol:
