A majority of you out there have smoked Marijuana. Did you enjoy it? Yeah me to! Well as it is legal in many states for medicinal purposes and decriminalized in some areas, why not make it 100% legal. If doctors all over are agreeing with it's medicinal use as beneficial why then is it still frowned upon by society? The legalization of it will benefit many corners of society.
To produce legal marijuana cigarettes you would need land to grow it on, or environments to grow it in. The reproduction cycle of the marijuana and hemp plant is very quick. If used for paper production just think of the trees and acreage of land that could be re-used up to three times a year. Sounds better than destroying acres of trees that took 30-100 years to grow and the same to replenish only to be destroyed again. Hemp oil, look it up, was used in the early 20th century to run cars, lamps, and lubrication. Guess what it's a lot cleaner than any type of fuel being burnt for energy.
Production would include jobs from cultivating the fields, packaging, distribution warehouses, global business. As we grow some of the worlds finest buds, why are we not capitalizing on it.
Less street level crimes due to marijuana laws, we would open up vacancy of prisons for real hardened criminals, rapists, murderers, women beaters. Let the peaceful stoner dude out. Allowing the police to concentrate on real problems. Think of all the tax-payers money that goes towards the "War on Drugs" and how big of a chunk of that money could go to schools, libraries, museums.
When's the last time you heard "...man i was so stoned i wanted to..." anything? Exactly! Stoners don't do much at all especially anything violent. They laugh, eat, and um.... i can't remember what else, but you get my point!
Even if you don't smoke, let me ask you this. Has marijuana ever impacted your life negatively in any way? Of course you have your lazy stoner kids with no motivation. Ever think if we made it legal it wouldn't be so taboo. Being legal might just take the thrill of it away, making it less desirable for the youth. Plus being legalized & regulated, just like alcohol and tobacco, would make it safer and more difficult to get for minors. Sure anybody can get anything they want these days, but not to try to regulate it is like giving them permission to desire it, "wow...what makes it so bad...let's try it....my brother can get some...". Seems interesting doesn't it? Well if we took the appeal of it away from youth and made it a common thing amongst society, conversation, media, it wouldn't be so intriguing to people, not only youth, but adult alike.
How many of ya are the "...Yeah i would smoke it if it were legal.....but my job test for it...." So you don't have any problem with it except for it being illegal. Now what if it were legal what would you say then. It reminds me of the scene in "Matrix" when the oracle says to neo "don't worry about the vase" the question is, if she wouldn't have said anything would he have broken it? If marijuana was legal, you would never know if you would have said well if it was illegal i wouldn't smoke. Would you stop drinking if they outlawed alcohol again...I didn't think so. Speaking of alcohol, that kills more people than they can keep track of, yet that's legal..... Oh yeah we tax the shit out of that. So why not marijuana. Not just for medicinal purpose, but for all purposes, textile, recreational, medicinal. The product that are made from hemp will outlast most any other material and it's natural. So come on legalize it already. Puff puff pass this along!

I agree with you 100% my friend. Our National government is missing out on Millions, possibly Billions of $$ by keeping Maijuana illegal.
ReplyDeleteThink of the money to be made my Government Regulated pot. Growers would need to buy a permt to grow it..CHA CHING, sellers would need a permit to sell it...CHA CHA CHING...and most importantly the consumer would be paying taxes on the files product....CHA CHA CHA CHING. On top of that you have to think about all of the implements used to smoke some reefer. A specialized sales tax on hitters, bongs, pipes, hookas, papers, phillies, steamrollers, etc....all of the smoking devices could also be taxed and sold for a hefty profit.
I need to be the next president. Hell, we could even put a higher tax on "junk food" sold after 11 p.m. to capitilize on the munchies. LOL
