emers8529 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 i was just wondering...what is everybody's thoughts on legalizing marijuana in the states? will it help the economy? or will it remain the same. my thoughts on it is that it will help the economy because it will get the living hell taxed out of it, and even without the taxing, selling the marijuana will bring in a helluva lot of money. so..leave your thoughts here :) (idk if this is an ok topic to start or not, idk where to check. sorry if its not) I like getting hard when I PK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamdan Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 It's pretty obvious it should be legal anyway. It hasn't been because the industry has been running the country (and especially more so now thanks to bush) and the corporate giants stand to lose a lot of money. Now with this revolution in america happening it should be legal sometime in the future, and hopefully other countries will follow suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or so most Americans seem to think. In recent years most "radical" US law changes have been following the example set by UK and various other European nations, its just the way American media filters these things more often than not most Americans have no clue about these law changes elsewhere until after their law changes and the media goes yes we are being good like x y and z did while conveniently missing out the dates of when x y and z did it.

magekillr Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Of course marijuana should be legal. Shrooms should also be legal. I do not advocate for the legalization of all drugs, not yet at least; that is my end goal, though. However, I do advocate that ALL drugs, ALL, should be decriminalized. That's step one. Step two is to legalize drugs such as marijuana, psilocybin mushrooms, ecstasy and LSD/acid. The remainder of the drugs shouldn't be legalized outright, but should be decriminalized. Eventually, once the education of the American public about drugs has gotten better, the remainder should then be made legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpgGamer Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Economically for it, Morally against it. If people could handle it, then I'd consider it to be an okay concept to legalize. But unfortuantly, there will always be [wagon]es ruining it for everyone else. I'm strictly against legalization. I'm sure most of OT knows this by now.

magekillr Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Regarding the taxation of marijuana: Will a lot of people grow it out of their basements/closets? Yes, and this should be legal so long as you have a license to do so. However, it's not going to be as big of a problem as you think, Shadow. Look, it's not that hard to brew your own beer, to roll your own cigarettes, or even to grow your own tobacco. So if none of these things are particularly difficult, especially rolling your own cigarettes, why are corporate alcohol and tobacco such lucrative businesses? Simple: people like convenience. This is observable in other areas as well. Why don't many people have their own gardens? Sure, a lot of people do, but by and large they buy at the grocery store or farmer's market. Hell, why do people go to BARS rather than just buy beer/wine/liquor for their houses? Bars are very expensive, yet people still drink there. It's just for convenience, man. And I know one thing is for sure, one thing that's in competition with convenience is legality, and most people are not going to risk their own skin obtaining the drug through illegal means when there's a damned corner store selling it over the counter.
