Legalized Marijuana

[Tellos Athenaios]

We can rent them out to China. Outsourcing can benefit us as well!

Yeah. Plus I think with all your highly trained medical staff you can probably cut an organ transplant deal as well... And you could sell empty territory to China to expand into. Would also solve the Puerto Rico problem, and help the balance sheet.

The War on Drugs is now going have its guns pointed at citizens "who matter" (aka, boring, middle class, probably white, business people). It will be interesting how the public reacts.

there's a business opportunity in this. are any of you chemist enough to remove the odor from weed? or make it's smell mirror tobacco?

And remove one of its best features? That's like removing the aroma of wine.

So what is the latest on this? Colorado’s law was to take effect as soon as the election result was certified.

Anyone know any thing about long lines at Home Depot in Denver, with a run on grow lights and potting soil?

Or is every third guy still on his way back from Oregon with a sack of seeds?

You jest, but it will be interesting to review the impact on consumption. If consumption doesn't rise significantly in the medium-long term (as suggested by all other studies) then what is the point of the prohibitionist approach?

[Fisherking]

If its legal, who needs grow lights and potting soil? Farm that shiznit! Pot plants can grow as big and thick as trees if you let em.

Read the law.

Each individual is allowed 6 plants. Only three mature plants and they can not be grown where they could be seen. If a home owner can’t grow them on the lawn where do you think he is going to grow them.

The farming operation is different.

Its pretty stupid to legalize an easy growable "drug".
In Europe you can see the price going downwards or at least dont get up on a moderate scale.

Also, if you consider that tons of heavy drugs a completely legal in most countries, I fail to understand the hype of marihuana anyway.
The only country which almost closed the door is USA, you poor guys cant even enjoy some San Pedro or something similar :D

General question:

Why does any hint/step toward the legalization of marijauna generate such joy on forums such as this?


I myself have never partaken, but favor legalization on grounds of practicality and individual rights -- no research indicates that the stuff is any more deleterious to one's health than is tobacco or alcohol and driving while impaired should be stamped out regardless of the source of the impairment -- yet so many who post on this thread and similar one's seem so avid about it.

In practical terms, legalization won't make it all that easier for any who do partake to acquire the stuff. My 17-year-old assures me that he could get me connected and supplied in under an hour and with fewer than a half dozen phone calls even though he doesn't and his friends don't use the stuff either. Apparently, getting supplied when one is in high school is not a matter of difficulty.

So why?
