Hell no, I don't own a company and neither should anyone else. Find something else to do.

Kids like you grow up to be junkies. No Joke.

And that is somehow his fault? You think that its right that someone who is just as capable and even more so than your average non-smoker deserves to have all their hard work thrown away because of a personal choice? Take a look at Michael Phelps. 8 Olympic Gold Medals, World records, and they want to have them revoked because there's a picture floating around of him smoking a bowl? Oh my, what a free country we live in.

I'm not a pot head. I haven't been one for years. But its all about choice. People have the right to do whatever they like to their own bodies. Period.

Didn't see this posted.

Schwarzenegger says 'time for debate' on legal marijuana - E-mail Alerts -- Election News - sacbee.com



I don't really care. A lot of positives with increased tax revenues and decrease criminal violence, though there are negatives as well.

the whole increased tax revenues thing will only last for a short period of time.....they would have to sell that **** for such a low price in order for it to be taxed and then be able to push out street dealers. Also, the amount of growers will most likely increase their will be so many ways around not having to pay taxes on it. Most people will start growing on their own.

Then you continue to arrest the people selling illegally. Limit the amount a person can grow on their own. Not even throwing in the fact that growing it on your own is pretty damn difficult.

There's ways around every tax, it's how well they choose to enforce it that will matter. To say it will only last for a short period of time is foolish and not really understanding of the economics around it at all.

Good read Alejo. Contains more projected values for the taxation.

Why would you continue to arrest people for selling it illegally? Isn't that one of the major selling points for making it legal so they don't have to arrest people and crowd up jails over petty things like this?

Yeah I have no idea or clue about the growing process it just seems fairly simple from what I've seen in movies

Enlighten me oh wise one as to the economics around it all

it wont be legalized anyway so it doesnt matter, should it be legalized in my opinion yes, but it would have the same restrictions and rules as alcohol does.
