Finally a good idea!

so technically it cannot be eradicated from the planet and the synthetic substitute doesn't do the job quick enough.

IMH opinion even caffeine is a very serious drug problem in usa
with harmful side effects and there is a crackhouse coffeeshop on every single corner of america causing sleep deprivation problems
for 70% of Americans.... so what do they do?

they give them sleep drugs to counteract the caffeine drug.

Taxing vices all SOUNDS good, but the reality is the money never goes to what they claim it will.

Gambling was legalized in Joisey under the auspices of paying down debt,reducing school taxes and helping seniors.

Ya right, after 30 years of what the taxes were supposed to do, the state is ranked #4 in highest taxes ,and close to bankruptcy.

Forget the cost of families ruined by it and GA meetings on every corner.

Give politicians more $$ they'll find a way to use it to buy more votes.

Just what we need, more kids smoking weed while trying to improve the education system.

That Joisey casino deal worked out real good eh. Every time I go down to the house in OC NJ, I can see how far the casino benefit has spread, it stops at Pacific Ave and Marina Bay. There are boarded houses on the way the the AC Aquarium, dealers and hookers, along the way.

Nothing has changed there except the real estate prices.

I actually think this CA thing is a GOOD idea. If DeCoupe would legalize it we could start a plot over in Mansboro.

I have no issue with the legalization of pot. The notion that it can't be a non-drug cash crop is beyond absurd and booze does far more damage to society.

But I don't think it will fix CA's economic issues. The export comment above is a good one, along with the fact that the underground channels for dope are so well entrenched I doubt the big pushers would take the risk of using them.

I'd wager the guys selling medical marijuana are making a killing in the bay area.

I also have no issue with legalization of pot. In my youth I recall the use of it by teens to be more of a rebellious activity, forbidden fruit, old people are stupid thing. If it hadn't been so tabooed by Society, it might not have been so attractive. I've even wondered if there was drug money being paid to politicians to keep it illegal.

Dupont paid a ton to make it illegal when they Invented nylon. Hemp rope was king and the best way to get nylon on the market was to vilify hemp/marinuana
