legal pot coming soon!

[LAAFTERHOURS]

I dont do drugs anymore – sampled many in college but why not legalize all drugs that are naturally grown plants on this earth and make anything concocted in a lab illegal?

So by this above theory, bud is legal, shrooms are legal, peyote is legal.. I am sure I am missing something?

Cocaine, heroin, meth, X etc etc etc – illegal.

Look at it differently – which are addictive? Is pot addictive? That could be argued either way. Is peyote addictive? Are shrooms addictive? Coke is highly addictive, so is heroin, so is meth. X can be from what I know.

Addictive drugs are the reason for most of the drug problems and technically the legal addictions are a problem as well (Alcohol, tobacco, porn etc etc). I dont want Alcohol banned, specifically wine and microbrews but alcohol is a bigger issue than bud.

[quote=afx114][quote=jpinpb]Drug dealers won’t allow it to be legalized. That would cut into their money – not to mention the taxes they’d have to pay. Thinking the wrong way about cops. Drug dealers make way too much money to ever have this legalized. [/quote]

Drug dealer’s can’t do anything to prevent the legalization of pot. But big pharma, tobacco, and alcohol can. They are the biggest lobbyists against the legalization of pot because it will directly affect their bottom line.

I would think pharmaceuticals would love to legalize bud and sell it

I don’t have a problem with legalizing pot logically or fiscally, but how do you now tell your kids pot is okay but cocaine, LSD, speed, meth, and X are not?

See that’s the problem, we drilled it into their head that it is a “gate way” drug or dangerous as those other drugs when in actuality it is less harmful than most. We should not have bullshitted them in the first place. How many people die from tobacco? What kinds of problems arise from alcohol?

The roots of the socially ingrained stigma started in the 30s. Dupont had patented nylon and worked together with the Feds and the pulp and paper inustry to bring down hemp farmers. So they came out with propaganda films and pamphlets. They actually had one where it depicted white girls smoking it which would lead to seeking the “relations” of black men. lol

I’d say that pharmaceutical companies would be threatened by legalization because they know it could take a substantial bite out of the anti-depressant market, which is enormous in the US, as well.

The free market is a mythical beast.

No way. Stoned people are gonna crave things. Beer, twinkies, ding-dongs, cheetos, munchies, all that junk. If pot is legalized I’d go long on frito-lay and hershey’s.

I agree with JP, the dealers can’t want the government involved in their business. I would think top dealers can easily afford to buy the votes of these low-level assemblymen.

Lastly I’m sure the church will have it’s say in this.
