Marijuana Legalization
 
It was coming anyway. ;)
I won't be immature.
Post your thoughts.

Terumoto 08-01-07 02:03 AM

No, because then the government/huge companies will start regulating it and turn it into a profit machine like they did with tobacco.

Ysdat 08-01-07 02:37 AM

NZ nearly decriminalised weed. The diffrence between legalising it and decriminalising it, is the simple fact of money.
Decriminalised they can limit the amount of weed you can have for personal use on you at a time, anymore than that and they can fine you. Legalised weed means you can have your car fulled with weed to the point of its falling out your windows onto the road, and the most they can charge you with is unsafe driving.
Illegal weed they cant fine you (not here anyway) but you can be criminally charged (jail or community work)
End a the day, a smart government will decriminalise it, so we can get high and they can make a bit of coin.

The government will only go so far, huge marijuana drug dealing parties, companies, & groups will be dealing under merchant names too. 'cuz the U.S.A. would be profit to marijuana and a lot of different types of Americans will get the profit back. Marijuana needs to be less pricey though if u ask me..

xCadaverx 08-01-07 12:45 PM

Yeah, I know the government would control it, but that's really the only problem. Imagine if they didn't: independant marijuana farmers and sellers making an "honest living". Hah. And it's not like people couldn't fight for that.

yea but it be alot cheaper too....i wouldnt mind buyin a pack of cigga-weed for less than $20 lol

Dufflebag Boy 08-07-07 01:55 AM

it would make weed sales more safe, easy, reliable, & cheaper. its pricey because its illegal and risky too work with plus its not like u can get it elsewhere. its not safe cuz well its illegal & u dunno what it could be laced with shit like crack. and u dunno if u'll get ripped off. u could spend all ur money on shit ass weed or have all ur money taken, u gotta be careful. if they sold it in stores we wouldnt have 2 worry bout none of that & weed wouldnt be half that bad now would it

KOOL COL-B 08-07-07 03:41 AM

from a dealers perspective... fuck that, lol. it'd only be legal if u buy it from a sto, so tha government can make a profit. but slangstas would still git in shit fo slangin it. n there'd be less customers, why go to a dealer when u can go to a sto n git it legally n not have to worry about la jurra? there'd be mo sto's gittin robbed n shit too. i wrote an essay fo skool about this. werd

Terumoto 08-07-07 04:53 AM

Since my first post in this thread I've changed my mind. It would definitely be better if weed was legal.

Logic The Goonie 08-07-07 10:05 AM

^ How so?

I know a lot of dudes who supplement their income by selling weed, and wouldn't be able to feed their families otherwise. I don't think it would be a good idea for them to lose that income and huge companies to start getting it instead.

Terumoto 08-07-07 10:08 AM

I read a really long FAQ article about why weed is illegal in the first place, and about what it'd be like if it was legalized and shit.

I guarantee if you read it, you'll be for legalizing weed, but I don't know the link. I can find it later on.

I know it's on erowid.org somewhere.

if they are selling enough weed to feed a family, that is enough time to be taken away from your family for quite a while...selling weed is fucking worthless unless you are growing, or are buying by the ton. Not to mention you almost have to grow, just so you can keep up with the evolving strands.


I understand that some people don't have a choice. Thats why drugs are illegal in the first place. It's a fucking trap. A trap that will continue to be effective untill people decide to suffer in a different way.


Besides, as far as weed goes. If you are selling enough to put food on the table for you and yours....you could do the same thing with cocaine...or extacy....make even more money, with a lot less product....and get about the same ammount of jail time.

The more product you push, regardless of what it is...the higher the risk of you getting caught...also, the longer you push..the higher the risk...so ideally....you will want to push the least ammount of product, for the most ammount of money, for the least ammount of time. That's common sense right there. Weed is not something you should sell...for an occupation. Buy it, smoke it, if people want some. sell it. But don't use it as a preferred source of income. That's fucking stupid. Nobody would care if you were selling nickels, dimes, or even ounces...you might spend the night in jail...but that's not the kind of pushing that is going to provide for a family.

If i were "Persay", which i am cleary not, a distributer of such fine goods, at 200 an O, 16 0's is 3,200, i pay 2,000 flat, and earn 1,200 in profit, per LB. Obviously you dont sell, grahams out of LBS. Takes way to fuckin long, 16' 0's goes quick at 200 flat, and for dank, thats nice. Thats practically less than 10 a G which is to me is straight, for the quality and potentcy, of the such find goods one might have. If i perhaps knew roughly 5 or more smaller "distributers" who buy HP's once a week, money clearly comes easy enough to feed a family, and theres no heat because, i dont waste time moving it, and i dont store it in my home, thats if, you know, i did that stuff, but i dont. :D


But to note on the other factors of your post, time is a bitch if you get caught, most of the sellers i know periodically take breaks, not that you wont get caught that way but it helps, alot, never keep it in your home or your vehicle, be prepared to dispose whatever you have, always have a backup plan, but personally, get a 9-5. The streets have no pension homie

WTF??? 200 an oz OF DANK....

HOLLA AT ME MANG...

Bangalore 08-17-07 12:28 AM

it would be dumb if weed became legal it would just become a even bigger cash crop, more so than it already is . big companies would become even bigger and then they would enslave the rest of the world because everyone would be to fucked up to fight them .... plus marijuana stays in your system , booze and cigs don't .... even if they made it legal the work place would still give people a hard ass time :)
that is all

Bangalore

Ransum 08-17-07 12:31 AM

nah u bugg'in....

why would they test you for drugs that has to do with THC??
when its legal..
they wouldnt count that as a drug no more cuz its legal...

see the big picture...
but i feel what u saying with being to fucked up to work thou....



everyone would just be zoned as fucked no one could operate heavy machinery, so no buildings could be built

Bangalore 08-17-07 12:35 AM

Everyone would not be doing the drug and esp. not doing it while working with machinery you fucktard that's like working machinery while drunk except drunk is more dangerous due to health risks other than just making poor ass decisions. And you would not be allowed to smoke weed outside, you fucking idiot. Why? Same reason you can't drink outside. Public drunkenness, publicly stoned. It would be the same shit because if it wasn't then YES, fuckers WOULD be getting stoned while doing important jobs and fucking it up, and despite that, YES, people WILL do that, but it's a less chance if it's not allowed in public. It's hard to do something you can't be seen with in public rather than do something you can be seen with by some people and some you can't..

by the way, I am a common daily stoner and my brain cells are 98% in-tact, (all the time, not tested but approximated by performance.) but that's because I'm also discreet about it. I don't smoke the entire bag, I split it in rounds to match my days and time schedules. Then I'm safe to smoke & chill, while still safe to live my progressing life, such as getting into college and working a job, maintaining friends, etc. Marijuana never was and never will be a problem for me in my life because I can handle myself as a person and as long as I don't let the marijuana take control of my mind, I have control of it. It is a simple substance I keep with me at all times to relax and I have no purpose to remain stoned the entire day, all day.

I just wish it were legalized though.. If you want my honest opinion.

Bangalore 08-17-07 12:41 AM

i was kidding around with my heavy machinery statment , but seriously it would just become a big company cash crop, it would hit the norm just like cigarettes and alcohol

ThatsWhatSheSaid 08-17-07 12:43 AM

^- Bangalore, i did construction for a while, half of them were already fucked up to begin with, legalization wouldnt change much, heh, i smoke after work, im not workin atm, so i smoke all the time :laugh:

u dont get drug tested for liquer when u get a drug test do you??
same thing as if weed was legal... you wouldnt get tested for TCH...
but you would be subject to getting fired from your job for being dummy high and blasted just like bring drunk and driving...

BUT SAY WORD U NEVER WENT TO WORK HIGH OR DRUNK AND GOT AWAY WITH IT??

i do.. shit i do it alot... i tent to smoke before and after work...
never got cought and i do Q.C WORK at a WEARHOUSE... gotta check 12-24 bottles ever hour on extruder lines.. adeco lines.. slick screen line... hot-stamp lines.. printer lines.. ECT...

so yea u wouldnt get tested for TCH if it was legal just like u dont get tested for liquer when u go to a test...
but u can lose u'r job for being drunk or mad high where ya eyes all red and u just bugg'in laughing and eating everything u see...

thats what im talking about..if you're going to be selling a pound of marijuana...you might as well sell blow...either way, if you were to get caught....you would serve serious jail time...cocaine would be more serious, but also, more chances to cooperate and lessen a jail sentence below what you might have gotten for all that wood...you can get a quarter brick for 3200...if you were to sell it on ounces for..let's say..800...thats roughly low of the price of cocaine for MOST places.....thats 7200 dollars...which is 4000 proffit....it's 3-4 times as much as selling weed...and you could feed a family off of doing that once a month...easily....im not saying you can't feed a family off of selling weed..i'm saying that if you are selling enough weed, to feed a family...you might as well sell blow..the reward is much greater, and the risk is fairly equal in the long run.


oh, and this is asside from the fact that if you are getting pure, which if your getting bricks you should be...otherwise you're a fucking idiot...than you can easily turn a quarter brick into about 16 ounces..give or take a little..depending on how good you want your shit to be.....which, you could do once every 3 months.....and easily support a family...16 multiplied by 800 equals 12480........times 4....once for every 3 months...equals around 50,000

Marijuana needs to be legalized.
Just for tax reasons alone!
