Finally people's Republic of CA gets something right

Quote from jficquette:

What are you talking about? I know money is wasted enforcing drug laws.

What you and other stoners don't seem to get and this my fourth attempt at it is that we will spend more money after its made legal than before because of the regulation aspects.

So quit making all of these arguments saying it will save money. Just be honest and say its becaue you can go buy it and get high anytime you want.

Also stop the arguments about all the losers in jail because of it. My former father in law was the physican at the Georgia State prison in Jackson Ga. He said the average IQ at the prison was 72. In case you didn't know, there is a high correlation between prison and IQ and those with low IQ's tend to be prone to ending up in jail for one reason or the other.

Tons of those growers will still be growing because they can. Do you not understand that the supply comes from criminals now? Do you think that a criminal is producing because he feels like he is doing a social service and will stop when its legal? They produce because they make money at it. If people can buy an bag of weed from a bootlegger for $300 why buy it from the government for $400? Do you think that all of a sudden when its made legal its going to be cheap?

When they make Alcohol legal why did people keep producing it illegally. Why do you think behavior will be any different with pot vs alcohol?

A guy I rented a house from after I sold mine in 2004 was the No.2 guy for the CBI in SoCal for drug enforcement. He told me they didn't even care about pot anymore. They were after the meth and coke guys.

So just say you want to get high all the time or whenever you want too and stop the bs about all the "smoke and mirror" issues like wasted money and unfair prison time.

Fighting crime that you (the state) creates is stupid , wasting money on draconian enforcement and sustained imprisonment is certainly a cost burden on society.
Not to mention the poverty that being labeled a criminal has a tendency to cause.

The whole point of legalization should not to be to tax the shit out of it but to remove the costs (violence) associated with the illegality.
If police served to protect merchants and customers it would certainly reduce costs. As it is now those in the illegal drug trade must inherently offer both protection and business disagreements extra-legally (ie violence or threat of violence).

Spare me your moral crap, gubbermint has no business telling adults what they can and cannot consume.

Great dumbass politicians always seeking something to tax , salivate at idea of taxing junk food to protect you from a "potential adverse behavior".

watch for efforts to ban anything you like to eat.

Now of course they have to do this so as to not appear massively hypocritical in the war on drugs.


But wait : If drugs and eating are seen as potentially similar why isn't this viewed as reason for legalizing drugs?
