Right now the trading of marijuana in america is a tax free mullti-trillion dollar black market, if not bigger. It's huge, beyond what most people can imagine. Bigger than Microsoft Windows, bigger than Wal-Mart, probably comparable to what we spend on oil. And it's JUST a plant.

1. As with any black market, there are no age limits. Right now kids can pick up quarters and not get carded. If weed were legal and regulated like alcohol then younger people couldn't access it so easy.

2. It would also decrease the use of hard drugs. The guy who shows up with an ounce AND an eight ball would be out of business. Kids wouldn't be introduced to hard drugs when they are just looking for a sack.

3. For certain people, drinking would decline... I certainly prefer smoking a fatty and RELAXING over getting piss drunk, sick, and retarded.

4. Community would also increase. Right now all the smokers are locked inside and too paranoid to talk to one another. It's a big secret. Imagine an atmosphere like a bar, but without all the puking and fights.

5. Helicopters, sniffing dogs, thermal photography, wire-tapping, carnavore (internet spying), and anonymous narcs would be a problem of the past. They would be obsolete. Imagine how much SAFER americans would feel not having to worry about fellow citizens turning against them.

6. All the money saved from cutting our internal enforcement could go to fund real problems that compomise our national security.

7. It would also generate money because it would start an entire new industry. Marijuana and hemp fields would be abundent. I'm sure most people who are reading this know about all the wonderful benefits of hemp.

8. And the money would be completely taxable. I'm sure the IRS, credit companies, and money mints know exactly how much american money is in the world and where it goes... This would help fill in that trillion dollar void of money spent on weed and create more accurate book keepings.

It would be a great thing.

I think some politicians(not all) get donations from Big Cartels to kept it illegal cause they know that price will hit rock bottom and they wont get those moneys.

I also think the DEA put hard drugs on the street so they can back and bust the peeps have bought and used those very same drugs.

I with we could take every politician out of and just put someone off the street in thier place i think those people would a better job.

Thanx,

TTown, i disagree with your "DEA put hard drugs on the street" theroy. Hard drugs come from people who like to do drugs for people that like to do drugs. Bottom line.

It's probably true that some politicians get money from cartels... it's a good conspiracy theroy that could go a long way if you thought about it for a while.

Right now there is a lot of money going to local police through handing out fines related to weed. But figure in the costs and it probably balances out. It would be more profitable for the government to legalize weed and tax it. Plus, it would also eliminate the whole "funding international terrorism" thing.

Grow your own, smoke your own. If you can't do that... buy AMERICAN weed. .... or canadian weed. Stay away from the Mexican weed tho, it's dirt.

Maybe not its hard to believe that as crooked as the DEA is that they would do that.
