Obviously my dream would be to be able to freely enjoy my marijuana, and to grow some right in my front yard and not have to fear someone breaking down my door to put me in jail. But would the legalization of marijuana be such a good thing? Wouldn't the government or worse corporations take control of it? I would hate to have a corporations logo on a my marijuana. If marijuana would be legalized I think that it should be still be controlled by the people. Think of it, I live in a suburban place and smoking weed is one of the few things you can do that's not controlled by corporations (what else the mall). It should be a product for the people, by the people.

What do you guys think?

Most people don't want to grow their own and would welcome high-quality, consistent, commercially-grown weed at a tenth of black-market prices. The government doesn't control the production and sale of other legal recreational drugs, it just taxes them and sets age limits. I see no reason why it would be any different for legal marijuana.

Corporations produce our other legal recreational drugs, alcohol and tobacco. Does this cause you distress? You could always grow your own tobacco, brew your own beer, or ferment your own wine. The economies of scale make it much more efficient for most people to buy these things.

If you don't like a corporate logo on your marijuana, you could always put it in another bag.

There are only two really bad things about marijuana. It's too expensive and it's illegal. Legalization would resolve both of these problems.

Says you. lol. Most people I know who smoke would love to grow their own weed. And if marijuana was legal wouldn't the prices go down too? I mean if it was legal it would no longer be sold on the "black-market", therefore it would no longer be sold at black-market prices.

That's completely different, first of all I don't smoke tobacco. Secondly when I drink a beer I don't consider it anything spiritual (unlike marijuana). Alcohol just makes me act like an asshole. I would never put anything in my body that affects my way of thinking if it was manufactured by a corporation. For example when I wasn't doing well in school a doctor prescribed me some pills so I can "concentrate" better. I never took any of those pills. And yes anything made by big corporations causes me distress, they just have way too much power and political influence and all they care about is making a profit, that is a very dangerous combination, corporations have screwed us over way too many times for me to trust them.

Growing your own weed would solve one of those problems.

government would definatly take some steps to control it as would coperations, cigarette companys would be the fastest to jump on it, they have every thing they need to make pre-rolled packs of J's and blunts

but i belive it would be kind of like salvia in how it is controlled very loose, able to grow your own, and buy it in stores

it will be to hard for the governent to say you can have it but not grow it, this would be like ging back to step one for them, by the time they legalize it they will have learned from there mistakes....hopefuly

It would be nice for marijuana to stay exactly as it is, as still be legal.. but it's probably not going to happen. If/when it's legalized, we should expect the government to tax it, as they do everything else. Since it's a plant we would have to be able to grow it ourselves, if it's legalized.. I would think. The goverment can't go ahead and say that Wal-mart can sell it if I'm not allowed to grow it. The day the governement tells me Wal-mart has more rights than I/we as a people... well, that day better not ever come, is all.

Most people I know get most of their produce at the supermarket because it takes a lot less effort than planting a garden. Most people I know buy their wine and beer at the supermarket because it takes a lot less effort than brewing or fermenting their own. I see no reason to believe that marijuana, if legalized, would be any different. I grow my own veggies, in season, but that's just my hobby. The vast majority prefer the convenience of leaving agriculture to the professionals.

That is correct and it would give people less incentive to grow their own. Growing your own sounds very attractive when an oz of KB costs $300. When it costs $30, growing your own sounds like a lot of work.

Most users think of marijuana as a recreational drug, not any kind of spiritual adjunct.

I bet you hate eating food processed by corporations, driving a car built by a corporation, watching television produced by corporations, listening to music published by corporations, reading books published by corporation, reading magazines published by corporations, and watching movies produced by corporations. There really isn't much you can do these days that doesn't involve the products of corporations.

(Marijuana.com is owned by the Global Sativa Corporation.)

And it would give you something pleasant to think about while you sit in your jail cell because there was no solution to the other problem.

That's what I meant. I was talking with some friends and most agreed it would be cool to grow just as an experience and for the pride of seeing your plants grow. I used to garden a bit, I wasn't too good but when those flowers started to grow it made me so happy especially after waiting and taking care of them.

30 $ for an oz! That would be nice.

Trust me I know. And I meant big corporation that take advantage of people and have no morals like tobacco corporation, pharmaceutical corporation etc, both might be selling marijuana if it was legalized. I don't see how the corporation that owns marijuana.com takes advantage of people.

Yes it would. That's probably why you would be careful. Plus I hope you know I would like marijuana to be legalized I was just curious to know what would happen if it was.

Trust me, they are making money off this site...

*gasp* who knows, maybe if you took them you would "concentrate" better? Then maybe you could excell (perhaps even more) at education, get a nice job working for a corporation who will then pay you +100,000 per annum...

It's ok to make money if your not hurting anyone.

Not at all. The doctor spoke to me for like five minutes and gave me a brochure with all these happy people on it for some pill. A little suspicious isn't it? Felt like he was working for the pharmaceutical that was making these pills.

Just let Walmart or Kmart get a hold on it......15.99 for a blue light special.
I'd love for Big Business to get their mitts on MJ. The quality would go up and the price would go way down.
