Drug based economy. Why not?

Legalizing marijana could possibly be a good thing.

Prices would collapse, so criminals are no longer interested. However government can tax marijana bigtime, like a 100% tax, doubling the price. This can lead to 20 billion a year income, just like with cigarettes and alcohol.

and just like cigs , where you can't just light one up wherever you want. Pot could have even more stringent regulations...
 
The pharmaceutical industry took over from the Cocaine Cowboys. I have multiple drug stores within walking distance from me. CVS and Walgreens are very popular. They dispense a mixture of everything you can imagine. All perfectly legal.
 
If we spent just half of the Law Enforcement Narcotics Enforcement budgets on keeping our streets safe, there'd be a cop on every other corner, 24/7.

Not to mention the lives of Officers and innocents saved. No more drug shootings or kidnappings.
Phoenix AZ averages almost 1 kidnapping a day from drug gangs.
Yup, you read that right.
1 a day.
 
Quote from KINGOFSHORTS:

Lots of people are making good money growing legal pot, big boom and its helping the economy. Why not make the growing of all drugs legal and make our new economy a Drug Based economy?

We can export all kinds of drugs to the world, get the chinese hooked on our drugs and get our trade deficit back on our side?

This could replace our hollowed out industrial economy, our steel and other imports are shrinking while good paying white collar economy currently are being shipped to indians.

So why not do this, I cannot see how it would hurt.

Plus CBOT could trade pot,coke,heroin futures to hedge price movements for the growers.

U.S. is the biggest illegal drug market now. Some foreign countries will follow U.S. legalizing suit. Who can make the drugs cheaper and more abundant, not U.S..:D
 
Quote from Coldspring:



I've heard in the cannabis friendly states that they have pot cookies, pot butter, pot tea, etc...

Pot of water.

One stick of butter.

One ounce of cannabis.

Boil for 20 mins.

Strain thru cheese cloth.

Put container in the fridge overnight.

Remove hardened butter from the top and discard water.

Use butter for cooking anything.....roughly 3.5 grams cannabis for every table spoon butter. 1/3 of a tablespoon will do the job for most everybody including me who has been a daily user since 94.

It's already a drug based economy. Caffeine, nicotine and alcohol leading the pack. Prescription drugs not far behind. Weed, while having it's issues is no where near addictive enough for the big boys to market. Opiates are too additive and lead to early death. Not profitable enough long term. The big boys like shit they can hook you on as a child and keep it coming at ya' for decades.
