Re: Washington, D.C., Approves Medical Use of Marijuana
It would absolutely impact the black market. It's not the only thing dealers sell, but it probably represents the majority of it.

Re: Washington, D.C., Approves Medical Use of Marijuana
Pot dealers will simply go by the wayside if it's legalized. There's not going to be any need for a black market once it's legalized and mass produced and sold in stores and cafes, or people growing in home gardens.

Re: Washington, D.C., Approves Medical Use of Marijuana
Good move...People get what they want...someone that's already into coke or meth will continue to ge their fixes....rec users will get theirs from 7-11. One thing for sure, 50 biliion dollar drug war is a complete failure.

Re: Washington, D.C., Approves Medical Use of Marijuana
Making it legal should carve into the profit margins of drug dealers, which in turn provides less incentive for folks to become one. Taxation is ok, but too much taxation could result in a black market.

Vaporizers are where it's at. Or so I've heard.
Regardless, weed doesn't have all the chemicals and additives that cigarettes do. |

that's what i meant. and i prefaced it by saying that smoking anything is not good for your lungs. but point taken as far as impaired driving. but i'd like to see the stats on the alcohol-related crashes/deaths compared to weed-only impaired driving. not saying people should drive around all high'd up or that no one's ever killed someone cuz they drove high without drinking at all... poor phrasing on my part.

I personally think the actual use of it is pretty harmless. Certainly more harmless than alcohol. The fact that alcohol is legal and weed is not is hilarious IMO. How many awful incidents does alcohol lead to in this country every day? People get hammered and do all kinds of dumb shit. Drive cars, beat people up, injure themselves and others, etc etc. When's the last time you saw a news headline that read "man high on marijuana robs bank, shoots security guard." ???? Doesn't happen. Weed leads to good laughs, deep thought (in my case anyway) and junk food. I'm all for legalizing it, and not just because I smoke it. When you think about the massive tax revenue it would generate and pair that with the relief it would give to our legal system that is so bogged down with petty marijuana arrests/jailings, it would be a massive financial boost for the US. I'm all for what Schneed suggested. Take the revenue generated by marijuana taxation and throw it back into the healthcare system.

as for legalization even before i started smokin again i have always thought it should be legalized. it is just a huge ammount of revenue just sitting there waiting to be taxed. i really honestly beleive that if it were legalized it would greatly help out our economy the only real downside to smoking pot is the fact that this thread was started about a week ago and this is the first time i had noticed it
