If I were wandering through the woods and stumbled across this shit, there would be one hell of a forest fire.

Good. Keep that shit off the streets.
lol "Send 'em up the creek!"
Come on.
For some reason that makes me miss hitting my bong...
Could be because I haven't smoked in half a year,
Could be because I gave my bong to my buddy shortly after that descision.
It's absolute bullshit the government doesn't subsidize this! Farmer John loses the corn field he's grown all year to drought and he get big fat check from Uncle Sam.
Cheech has the misfortune of the 5-0 stumbling onto his shit and it's back on the street dime baggin'.
complete bullshit.
Imagine, instead of busting these farmers they could just legalize the shit, tax it, make $84 M and pump it back into the economy. Booze and cigarettes = killers. Pot = killer of brain cells. I'd say that pot is the lesser of these evils.
The government makes more money off pot now than they would if they legalized it [/tinfoil hat]
How so? Just curious.
Property seizure. But they only think they're making more money that way. It's hard to give up a sure thing (property seizure) for pie in the sky money (taxes earnt from legal herb).
How exactly do they make money off of a property seizure, fines?
They sell the drugs to the black man to keep him down.
You're kidding right?
Drug dealer gets busted. Everyfuckingthing he owns is taken away and sold by the governement. Money is made, bigtime.
On April 24th 27 houses were raided and at least 19 houses worth over a half a million dollars each were seized by local authorities. That's one day. Google it. Something like Seattle + marijuana + bust ought to do the trick. These idiots had cars, boats, businesses, bank accounts etc. All seized by the authorities.
But at the same time it costs them money to have to deal with these cases and manpower that they could use elsewhere. I doubt they make much more money off that than they would taxes.
That's what I said. And I also said it's hard to give up a sure thing for a promise. Read man!
It also costs a metric shit to house all the prisoners who were caught on grounds of drug dealing and carrying. Regardless of how much money property seizures take in, it still costs a whole lot to do all of the labor and paperwork. I don't think many people who go into jail come out a better person; usually just more pissed off, less marketable for jobs, and a better criminal.
However, if it was legalized, would it also be legal to grow? If there was no stigma against pot like there is now, anyone with the desire could grow it. I don't think it requires nearly as much effort to process as say tobacco into cigarettes. Doesn't it grow pretty much anywhere?
It is a weed. It grows everywhere except in extremely cold conditions like the Arctic, etc.
Yeah like my cock.
Pot heads just need to grow up and do coke like an adult
IT'S A GATEWAY DRUG!!!1!!!11
omg
Marijuana does have undeniable links to depression and schizophrenia.
so does my dick.
I think that statistics show that pot is a gateway drug simply because people willing to try pot would probably be more willing to try other drugs. Personally I have nothing against it but I don't really smoke too much. I've yet to really find any enjoyable qualities to being high on marijuana.
Sucks to be you, man.
So much touchiness in this thread. I thought pot-smokers were supposed to be mellow.
Marijuana makes my drummer forget subtleties in the songs we play.
I bought ten boxes of brownies today ($1 each) and the grocery store clerk asked if we could get high together.
Weed is terrible. I don't know how anyone does it. Coke is so much more fun.
