Why do we want marijuana legalized?

When people ask me why should Marijuana be legalized i say.........Why Not

Hank

I think marijuana should be relegalized

I would loooove to see it legal if for no other reason than to stop these whack butt dealers around here from trying to sale an ounce of wet schwag for 500 bucks.To me that is taking advantage of the naive and those who have not learned the joys of DIY.And no before anyone asks I did not purchase the schwag,I tested was not impressed and sent him along his merry way.I was born at night,just not last night.

One aspect of legalizing marijuana that is often overlooked is the impact the economy would feel. Consider JOBLO spends 400 - 500 a month on his smoking needs. His buddy SOnSO spends 600 a month on weed and this happens everyday .everywhere.

Then suddenley legalazation happens and they can grow their dope in the garden out back without worry . Now JOBLO has $400 and SOnSO has $600 dollars a month they ain't spending on the friendly neighborhood pot purveyor. If they dont start spending it on other forms of illegal recreation then more then likely it will go back into the legal economy for consumer products. Soon across the nation everyone is growing their own dope without worry.
Add up all the money not being spent on pot due to legalization and across the nation people are buying more consumer goods,not only increasing demand for products, but also creating new jobs.(hopefully in America, not outsourced overseas).

the statement about taxing pot has alot to do with it not being legal, As a taxable product Marijuana would be very difficult to govern over.reason being it can be grown by just about any one which makes it very difficult to regulate and tax. Compared to alcohol which involves a somewhat complicated process to produce. Making regulating and taxing alcohol a profitable venture for the gov.Marijuana would certainly be a difficult and expensive product to keep track of. The gov would lose a lot of money trying to find and get everyone that grows to pay their dope tax.Then the gov would have to create tasks forces to find all the black market pot that is not getting taxed and on and on it would go.

There will always be a market for cannabis: legal or not. Countless more people use cannabis than grow it.

People can brew their own beer, they just can't sell it. Home brewers have a negligible impact on the commercial brewing interests. Brewers make money, the government gets its cut and home brewers are free to brew.

that's why they have to make it easier to buy it, than grow it. cause personally, I'd rather buy a pack of squares than grow tobacco, it would be the same for weed(except for me, cause I just love everything about weed)

if the government would tax seeds we all can be happy and live a seed can grow u how much? not to mention u can make seeds, everything would b good

one thing i know for sure is that the alcohol bone is connected to the cocaine bone ,

in response to johnnyorganic this is true,countless more people use pot compared to growing it. Do you think being scared of gettin' busted for growin' has anything to do with that? Don't you think those numbers would change if it was legal? You talk about home brewers ,they had to learn to brew but without the fear of getting caught hanging over their heads. If the gettin' busted was removed from the equation, there would be countless users ready willing and able to take gardening101 .

Without question, more people would grow. But more people would smoke, too. Most people don't grow their own food, but some do.

For many people, gardening is not fun. They prefer to purchase.

One of us is missing the point. We have had food so easily we take it for granted. It is a lot of work to grow yourself enough to eat. And they sell it at the store.This is the part where I get your point,they sell it in the store.

As an old hippy lady that sold alot of drugs and made tons of money once said "there are just as many people who want it as there are who dont"

Have an OUTSTANDING DAY

Problem isn't the fact that the government can't tax and regulate marijuana.. The main reason this Plant is illegal is because of huge businesses with lotsa money and influence. These are the people who contributed toward the illegislation of it. The uses of this plant is so great, that, if you had to buy a pair of Hemp jeans instead of denim(which is made from cotton mostly), and this pair would last you 3-4 times longer than your best pair of Levi's... ... Therefor, weed is not legal as it makes big business men lose money...

why cant we all just get along?

i love growing weed and stickin it to the man
i dont smoke weed i grow for the money
nothing against the drug i just dont do any drugs im a straight edge that got addicted to growing

I'm not sure if i actually would like to see cannabis legalized. From a growers perspective, the probation is gold! In my area alone, ounces of good bud are going for $150! You grow 5 plants, no chance of jail on first offense (here at least) sometimes not even a criminal record, get 3 - 4 pounds total. That's almost $10,000 from almost no risk. 10 grand every 10 weeks really don't seem too bad for me. You could even live off a grand a week...

Hell, I'm probably being naive here. But what are your opinions?
