and call me old-fashioned but i like smoking joints. =[

...gravity bongs are a close second though.

Sorry for being 'quick on the draw' must have completely missed the part that said 2009, oh wait! Ha, nvm.
Now is an excellent time because this is the most support we have had in a while, because it pertains to the whole nation as opposed to just stoners.

That's not old-fashioned. My friend, it's convenience.

Glass bongs come next for me.

I usually play devil's advocate on this topic because I believe it can be harmful to society, but I've already tired of doing so from before. Instead of summarizing points in a wall of text, just tell me one thing ..

Who is gonna sell this marijuana and how is the government gonna make money from it?

Not saying there are no answers, but they are usually weighed down with more problems than people are aware of. I'd like to see someone provide a good answer here in the spirit of debate. Maybe I'll get convinced too.

Tore, the government will find ways to make money off anything. Don't worry about them. They got it

But as far as the problems legal marijuana might cause in society? Well buddy, I say we just refer to our old buddy mr. comparison.

Marijuana will be extremely hard to tax, so they would have to come up with something. Foreign industries that sell marijuana would thrive on the american market and so would homegrowers.

What do you wanna compare it with?

Honestly, it'd be great if the government just didn't get involved at all and fuck everything up once again. Just like they did with love.

I can see how that's a sweet idea for users, but for society - that means you get all the harmful effects (social problems, health problems) of legalisation in society and no benefits.
