i wonder if its legal to smoke weed in space? if a guy smokes a huge blunt traveling at four times the speed of light near Venus - does he technically have to pay taxes on said blunt? i mean - the weed would no longer have physical mass to weigh!?! now, these are the technicalities that we should be sorting out..

Excatly. If pot was legal we'd have a hell of a of more of it, and the usual rules of supply and demand say that maybe as product goes up, price will go down. I hope.

I could see this schism starting to happen and it's going to hurt the movement more than it's going to help. Ideally, it wouldn't be taxed because tax's are evil and government sucks, etc. etc. We don't stand a chance of getting it directly to be legalized and untaxed. If we stand any chance, it'll be through paying taxes and even then, it's doubtful.

marijuana is safe for you but it's still a 'drug' and there are societal costs by people who abuse it. They do exist and kids need to be taught to be responsible. If we have to pay taxes to let more people benefit from cannabis, then tax away.

People should be able to grow untaxed if they'd like (like vegetables) and the taxes should not (and simply cannot, to be successful) be as high as black market marijuana currently costs.

We have turned weed into a commodity....an illegal commodity. We have no one to blame but ourselves. We are just as greedy as anyone else. Human nature cannot be denied, not even with weed.

Educating the public is paramount to control the drug problem.

The current schedule system should be scrapped, it doesn't work, the DEA re-organized, and the legislation in place re-written.

Why trade one level of slavery for another? If the government doesn't own my body, I don't believe they own my labor, or anyone else's.

Sales tax is normal. Taxing sick people who would like to grow their own meds - $50 an oz - is criminal, but so is taxing highly addictive cigarettes, when most smokers are poor.

We the people should have the final say in this matter, but most think of the government as big brother, or uncle sam the sugar daddy, so you can bet your ass legalization is going to come with over-regulation and high taxes.

Legalization or not, most home growers will remain outlaws

it would be almost the same as beer. you can make up to 20gal of beer a month i believe legaly. how many of you ppl know someone that makes beer/wine at home (i only knew one in about 10 years). how many of you know of someone thats growing pot (hopefully noone to not break the first rule). not saying it would be exzactly the same thing but it sure as hell wont be every american home growing "dope" in thier backyard. i would bet with the tax or decrim of pot you would maybe have 15% of americans growing it. compaired to the some 3-7% pending on state that are growing it now. goodtimez everyone and keep safe. let things go in calli and other states will soon follow, as soon as the see the prophit margin of calli. not saying its the best idea but if you want to smoke without the po po giving ya a hard time it would be a good route to start.
