I say something about "Who do you trust?"
God made pot for us on this world.
Man made beer for us on this world.
So who do u trust first? Also no "But"
Because God put plants on this world for natural and let us to smoke, eat, drink, and make clothes. (Saved our a lot the green forest for the air, oxygen. When we smoke and we get high, we dont get overdose from that one, and we always happy and friendly each other!
Man made beer, we made ourselve angry, mad, fight, sometime happy (depond on the people do), cant drive, hangover to become sick, and overdose sometime.
Do you know why the goverment illageal marijuana? My opioin, They dont want us to grow and sell to make a lot money and didn't pay for taxes, it make them to lose their business, but I wish they would let all of this world to allow to grow, and smoke, so everybody dont need to sell and buy pot, because everyone would have their own plants. But if they want make clothes, things, etc.. then they can make the business to sell the stuff, but not the pot bag or plants.
If I become presindent, I would change the law to allow to smoke pot and peace everywhere!
Know why we have a high crime everyday? Because the people steal the money and buy pot, crack, coke, and other drugs, that why the goverment set the law for marijuana and drugs are illageal. If they make marijuana to legal, I guarnted the crime will going down everyday! Because they wont to steal, murder for money to buy more drugs, they will be very happy to smoke pot instead use other drugs!! I believe marijuana are natural and make us happy to peace!
You can reply me what do u think and who do u trust?

I wouldn't necessarily say I trust god more, because I don't think god is a being in the sort of sense that he can be trusted.

Interesting idea about why marijuana is illegal, however it actually has more to do with politics and racism. Basically, William Randolph Hearst, the famous newspaper publisher, also owned a number of paper mills so that he didn't have to pay for the paper to print his newspapers. Hemp can be made into a paper which is cheaper and longer lasting than wood paper. He used his pull as a publisher to get a lot of completely false stories written about the affects of marijuana, saying it would cause you to become violent and a number of other false things. Essentially, America thought that black men were gonna get high and rape all the white women.

obviously there's a lot more to it. If marijuana was legal, the price would fall dramatically to about the price of tobacco (a pack of cigs is roughly an ounce), so there wouldn't be much money to be made from it.

Also, if legalized, crime rates would fall dramatically simply because most of the people in prison are in for drug offenses and most of the people in for drug offenses are in for something marijuana related. That's why some of big lobbies against legalization are the prison workers and the people who make prisons, because they'd be out of jobs.

I honestly don't know how much legalization would affect those who use hard drugs. A certain percentage of the public will always use crack, cocaine, and heroin and nothing anybody does will do that. Ideally legalization of marijuana will help that, but who knows.

Welcome to marijuana.com, home of potheads, freedom fighters, kind folks, and stoners. Hope you enjoy myself

peace

Yeah I agree with ya Bailey1138,
Marijuana are everything and everywhere, those can make newspapers, books, clothes, shoes, wallets, pants, and more more!!
I know some people dont believe in god, but important thing is that marijuana save our life! Cuz save this world's life because of forest, less crime, more more ya know what I mean.
So I guess we have to wait and patient for the goverment to give up or admit for us to become a legal for marijuana.
I hope the goverment would read this and thinking about that.

Alienstonez

also if this America legal for pot, but limit age to use it, 18 years and older, cuz of school education is important thing to learn!

if marijuana is legalized... would it be cheaper?

Rusty_Cage

wait... um... no. Bailey, wouldnt they prices adjust... like supply and demand?

Price is a market indicator.
Presently, the market is controlled by availability.
The risk inherent in the growing, shipping and sales of marijuana.
Once marijuana becomes legal, with no law enforcement strictures affecting the above criteria, you will see prices fall.
I believe it is a given, that some will grow marijuana commercially.
The more gfolks doing this, the lower the price will go.
This is very basic economics.
The government is actually doing itself and the people a disservice.
Once these commercial sellers open for business, the product can and will be taxed. This is a given, or can you think of anything that is NOT taxed?
Now as an analogy, Wal-Mart knows that there is, for example, a 6% sales tax on all products it traffics in, knowing this, they hold their prices to a level which will not automatically send the customers to another store.
My point being, even should the governments tax legal weed, the price will still come down. Without the illegality, farmers should have little problems growing.
And distributors will be able to buy from a host of sources, rather than looking for the next best.
So, in all, yes, price will come down some, if its too expensive, shop around.

If the marijuana legal, it wont be cheapest, it will be free! Because all the people would grow their own plants.
Dont worry about the goverment's taxes, etc.. because image like people who grow their gargen for fruits, flower, vegatables, and other. They buy the seeds for veg, fruit, and other etc from store, same thing peole but marijuana seed from store and grow themselves.
Just (IMAGE) grow like fruits, veg., etc and why not same thing for marijuana, that wont be hurt goverment's economics and taxes. That is simple thing.

Pot is # 1!

ill start off with a quote from a song, "if everybody smoked a blunt, relieved their mind, the world could be a better place...if everyobody took a break and we all just got wasted..." ~bone thugs 'n harmony. alien, i agree w/ you on the fact that some people would buy seeds from the store, but not everyone. fruit and vegetable seeds are available from the store, but only a small percentage of people actually buy them and grow their own. the way people are today, lazy, the easiest thing to do is go to the store and recieve the fruits of someone elses labor. (no pun intended) i myself would not be among that group, i would grow my own...and do, but still, the percentage is small. so i would have to say that prices would be affected, not free as you stated. if legalized, the abundance of marijuana would skyrocket and i believe the prices would go down, considerably, because it wouldnt be on the black market anymore. make sense?
