Really you think that?

I mean for me it would be Free I would grow the legal amount and trade it to friends for their stashes so i get a large variety.

And have you ever smoked Mexican pot? ****ing terrible crap I mean if the America had a large supply of homgrowers and smoke shops selling bud why would you buy dirt from back alleys?

I mean would you Buy....



or would you buy?


You tell me..... I hope the only reason why anyone would ever buy Mexican Brick is because they cant find dank and they are retarded. Id hope the prices of dank would go down as the ability to supply more would go up.

One of those pictures doesn't work here.

While there would be competition with the cartels, you have to remember there would probably be a lot more users as well - a vast expansion of the market. I'm sure they could sell as much marijuana in a scenario where it's legal as when it's not. Bet you a dollah!

I do believe some sort of decriminalization will take place in the USA one day, I just hope I am alive when it happens.

Decriminalization within the next twenty years? Most definitely. However, legalization may take some time thereafter. Most of this has nothing to do with public perception of the drug. Legislation takes a LONG time to enact in this country.

Yes, I think they should legalize. Simply put it.

You are, it is 'decriminalized' to an extent in 14 states now. You can find out the specifics at the NORML website. I planned on picking up a card while I was out here in the West, but you must have a valid state ID. Bummed.

Yep, in Texas it is no longer a felony for me to drive around with something like under 1 oz. in my possession (maybe even more, I just know I'm allowed more than I would ever have in my car). It's still a misdemeanor, though, so up to the discretion of the cop who catches me whether I even get a ticket (I'd wager that I would only get a warning where I live). In many states possession of any amount is still a felony offense worthy of prison time.

i think it should be legalized but i would definitely not be happy about the possible effects of this. first of all the government would tax it like crazy and most of what would be grown would be low grade government controlled junk.

Alcohol causes more deaths than weed
Cigerretes do more damage than weed
Weed... just awesome, yeah it does have some negative effects but come on! Its so minor when you compare some of the other legal drugs we have out there.

Trust me I know people will find a way to get weed even if its illegal (obviously)... the amount of money estimated to be brought in yearly from pot sold on the street is in the billions! Why not collect tax on that to help the economy? And besides that will cause the munchies and people will buy more food too which further supports the economy! Its win win!
