Weed can save our economy in a way. One way is they'll raise up taxes from legally permitted mj producers. I probably think the taxes for it will be high because they'll expect the producers to sell it and if that is so the prices of weed will go up. Just my two cents!

I think we just came up with a way to fund complete healthcare reform.

Free medical care for all... (In the US.)

i think that the price would skyrocket because it would be taxed sick like
in 1937 according to history there was a marijuana Tax Act in the US that restricted the amount of possession considered legal

however i believe in the last part
because formly before it became illegal
it was the United States' 5th largest cash crop
competed with the cigarette companies as well as the clothing companies

I think it would all depend on how legal it became. If it was legal to grow it the price would drop greatly. It all comes down to supply and demand at that point. Most ppl would just grow their own and you would have farmers growing HUGE crops and the price would be very low. If it just became legal to smoke and have but only liecensed farmers could grow then it could very well become exteremely high priced. Its kind of a tough product to tax because of how easy it is to grow. Anyone after a little research and know how can grow weed no problems. Its called weed for a reason. Things like tabbaco on the other hand have to have good conditions and the right climate to grow well. (Not to mention all of the other chemicals in cigs that arent so easily replicated.) Thats why the government can easily tax cigs. Just my opinion and its all kinda random. (I'm High)

I think my bud would always be free to me so it would cost nothing at all if it became legal. So now you now know why it will never become legal. However with budget cuts in the government enforcement will become lax which may seem like it is legal.

You don't need to tax a $100 Billion dollar a year industry hard to generate a shitload of revenue. It would be in line with alcohol or other like products. If taxed just like alcohol it's been estimated it could generate $30B USD a year in taxes. Billion. I personally don't have a problem with paying a fair tax like that on it we need to generate revenues to help the govt stay afloat and legitimate business op's. There has never been a better time in history to finally make the changes. It's good for people and ultimately good for our economy.

well I was in Amsterdam and they had some straight fire ass bomb buds and they sold them between 2.50 and 4.00 dollars a gram so I think it would be way cheaper I'm going to agree with the 10 dollar range> It will most likely be like this 3 dollars for a gram and 7 dollars for tax.

dude you need to think what it means to have it legal. right now with it illegal there are only a few people growing it because of the felony charge if you get busted. with it legal everyone and ther momas are going to grow it making supply very high with high supply prices drop to a point were people dont want to go through the hassle of growing when you can get it cheaper at the store. then supply will diminish and the prices will go back up a bit. youll see price fluxuation for a year or two then it will balance off. look at tobacco early americans grew there own till the tobacco companys started makeing cheaper packs than what a person could grow so we all stoped growing our own tabacco and just got it from the store.

i watched msnbc's "mj americas pot inc."
and it said that cali taxes 50$ for every ounce sold so all i can say is that it will increase the medical/rec... price

You havent been to the Dam recently have you. Last time i was there(2 years ago) the prices for good high quality weed was a bit on the pricey side. like say a gram of SShaze was about 7 to 13 euro depending on shop. And i actually payed 15 euro for a gram of a Nevills Haze. Shits not cheap there any more. Especially if your looking for water hash, the prices can be outragous! I payed 40 Euro for some water hash named Natural Sin. It was good but not 40 Euro a gram good, thats like 55 dollars U.S. It wasnt even FMCD!!! I used to be able to get grams of FMCD at the clubs in SanFran for 50 a gram and that shit was Out of this World
