With steep taxes, if they felt they couldn't gain an edge over illegal street sold marijuana, why wouldn't they lobby the government for lower taxes on it? But also, and more probable, is that if it were made legal, why wouldn't marijuana, with all it's trendy strains, become like micro-breweries, a unique one in every major town and city? Simply compare buying street marijuana (in a legal environment) to buying your beer from someone's basement... it doesn't make sense. Everyone is going to want a brand name, because it will be better, probably cheaper and most importantly, convenient.

The stoners will be at least more "accepted" and stuff. And stoners are better than wifebeater alcoholics. Legalizing weed would probably lower alcohol use. Because alcohol nor weed fits everyone :p | ||

Forget that the right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness involves ingesting whichever chemicals may or may not please you. Forget that 70% is an outrageous and idiotic number. Who cares if more people get stoned? Jesus, half the people who run this country are probably coke addicts anyway. Plenty of people do drugs and succeed. | ||

DEA fucking with the state laws has always been such a pain in the ass, now that's going to stop it's pretty much weed everywhere. all you need is to know someone who can buy medical MJ, and how difficult is that? weed isn't illegal because it fucks you up. it has never fucked anyone up. it's only illegal because pharmaceutical companies, alchohol and tobac companies are against it. natural plant = no patent = no ridiculously overpriced good with inelastic demand for 20 years and alcohol and tobac? well... recreative drug with no hangover the next day (maybe a little slow and a little high still) and no fucked up lungs and addiction and cancer.... hm.... though... i only see it as a pain reliever and not really the panacea it's hyped up to be by the people fighting for it to be legalized. I see it as a recreational drug that should be legalized and taxed pretty heavily. my god the price difference will not make a difference! those of you saying if it's 50% more expensive people will go back to their dealers is talking right out of their asses! haven't you learned anything? people buy stuff because of brands! people are WILLING to shell out enormous amounts of cash for Levis, Nike, Smirnoff, Marlboro its ridiculous... and now something like weed gets legalized and you know that it will be top quality bud with a name? I've never heard any of my friends buy their alcohol from homebrewers or anyone that smokes get their smoke from tobac growers. only as a one time thing if a friend made some wine or something they would get it as a gift, but otherwise nothing big. to people saying that people will pop up at their jobs all high and there will be traffic accidents all over... I don't see drunk people walking the streets, going to work, crashing their cars so much that it turns into a serious problem. of course there will be idiots, but those are the same idiots that are irresponsible regardless what substance abuse they're having. MJ is cheap, easy to grow, has no serious health effects, has no hangover. Hell, it's about time the govt stepped in and tried to regulate the inflated prices and cashed in on this huge business. and let's not forget alcohol used to be illegal, what a shitstorm that was. the next/real question is cocaine and heroine. legalize and tax? I think -that- is a more discussion worthy topic. it's going to be around anyway. aggregate demand will always be present. but i'm really split on coke and smack. | ||

On another note : Marijuana is pretty much legal in all north South American countries exept Venezuela. | ||
