Re: Washington, D.C., Approves Medical Use of Marijuana
You seriously believe that? It would increase the number of dealers. Pot isn't the only thing they sell anyways.

Tax fraud will also rise if it is taxed. You honestly trust criminals like drug dealers to suddenly abide by tax laws when "allowed" to sell. Heck, there are legitimate businesses selling legal goods that cheat on taxes. All of this "extra revenue" won't be seen. The Government will spend more of our tax dollars trying to enforce their "legal drug sale" guidelines. I'm sure a new department will be formed to handle this new commerce. Trusting Government is as smart as trusting drug dealers.

sure, "drug dealers" might still sell weed to their coke customers... but most weed smokers would gladly not deal with sketchy freaks who are still mixed up with coke/guns/whatever if they can just stop at the liquor store on their way home instead of having to call up some criminal and play phone tag and figure out where and when to meet him and all that BS.

Beer is legal and I have yet to meet a beer dealer in my neighborhood. I should have said decreased the number of dealers and I was referring to pot only dealers.

Re: Washington, D.C., Approves Medical Use of Marijuana
Once Marlboro and the other tobacco companies got into the manufacturing side, and using their distributions sources, the true drug dealers would be pushed out of the low end drug use. They couldn't compete with the availability at the local liquor store, and who is gonna risk getting caught up with a "hard" drug dealer, when they can go into the liquor store just as easily for a quick buzz.

Re: Washington, D.C., Approves Medical Use of Marijuana
I don't buy the whole gateway argument and I've never seen any meaningful research to support such a claim. THC is a drug that's practically as benign as caffeine, yet you don't see people worrying that drinking coffee is going to lead to someone snorting coke.
I do believe we'll see it legalized in our lifetime, support for it is higher than ever (lol) hopefully California will set the standard this fall and get this thing rolling (ha-ha). Legalize it, tax the hell out of it, and let's start using our legal system and resources on more important things. |

Will it happen in our lifetime? I would say possible, not likely. I would say once the "old guard" of the war on drugs era politicians lose office over the next 20 years, mostly due to age, and then maybe.

Re: Washington, D.C., Approves Medical Use of Marijuana
If it does become legal I can't wait to see how it is marketed. MJ light and MJ unfiltered. "The King of Buds"
LOL! Should be interesting.
