yeah, but like I said in my last post, we won't have to hide it, so we could grow more. alot more. making the price drop, then when the government puts taxes on it, it couldn't cost much more than it does now for some killer weed. and pot doesn't rape the soil like tabacco, so maybe we could put a little spin on it. like, we're helping the earth man! and if my dream works out, pot will replace tabacco completely

Incorrect. Legalization and regulation would destabilize the black market and undermine the pressure it places on prices. Would cannabis be taxed heavily? You bet. However, the elimination of the embedded expense related to prohibition would neutralize any taxes due to regulation. Compared to now, weed would be vastly less expensive.

It wouldn't be nearly as exciting / thrilling to grow it if it were legal, though... would it?

Here's my idea of exciting and thrilling: Imagine a culture tolerant enough to openly accept cannabis use. A shift of our collective conscience. Away from kneejerk jugmentalism and punishment mentality. An entire class of people able to live free; publicly and without fear.

I love the Idea of dank-ass bud, without having to pay 100/quarter, cause it'd be the same as cigerettes as far as I'm concerned. some shwag would be like rogers(it'd still end up being better than it is now), and some killer bud would be like the newports. and it'd be cheaper to grow than tobacco

Not necessarily, on the dealers perspective. If it were legalized then the Tobacco corporations are going to jump on it. Imagine packs of joints same size of cigarette packs at the cost of 15-20 for regs. I mean already rolled, seeds/steams pulled out and each Joint is packed as shit. The upside for the dealers/growers can get jobs for Phillip Morris and other corps as Marijuana Farmers. Still doing what you want and enjoy and still getting paid with benefits.

I think not wanting marijuana legalized because the dealers wont be making loot is wrong imo...I understand there are people who cant grow their own and need the help but to just look at it as strictly a purpose of making loot is the wrong attitude...There are many of other ways to make money....I grow bud and work, Whenever I do get rid of bud I basically give it away

Zekedogg · #78 05-13-2008, 06:15 PM

and I also know there are many that grow for the sole purpose of making loot which I disagree with

Yes it will be taxed, however the consumer will not see the difference. The prices will most likely stay the same due to the fact of inflation, if the prices raise then there will be less purchases and more growing of their own. They will keep the prices the same and instead of the dealers making all the profit the money will go back into the economy. Lowering food prices, gas prices and other taxes.

I believe everything has a price, so if people offer me 20 bucks for my deeds then that is just fine...If people dont have loot and need, that is fine also...Dont be fooled, marijuana is in no way hard to grow and does not take your whole day away...Hell all I do is water them and time does the rest...Outdoor growers dont really have to do shit other than let nature take its course....If you claim growing marijuana takes your whole day and you work hard, its only because thats what you want it to do....I grow killer weed and it dont take shit to do
