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?

i think the illegal enterprise is the worst part of marijuana cultivation. yeah it lets the non smokers get some buds but it also makes us all seem like drug dealers when were just weed tokers. if it were legalized the commercial growers would be out a job but for smokers, it would be way better. we would have the freedom to grow and smoke and not be considered criminals. so if youre a commercial grower it would suck but for smokers, it would simply be awesome.

I agree, from the stoner side of me anyway. The prices would go down (or maybe even up from tax?) too. It is generally the evil enterprising criminals that us cannabis smokers are represented by, these guys would disappear and crime would go down. Hurm. I'm still split on where i stand in this issue...

A lot of growers/users lose sight of it, but marijuana is actually a MEDICINE. Although i make much more money than i deserve off marijuana, i would still dance in the street if things could change.

yeah well if youre making dough id say you know where your mind is at. prices would definitely go down. otherwise people would still sell illegally. i just like the idea of growing my own and not being a buyer or seller. the money saved is enough to consider it a profit. but to each his own

The just thing is to end the misinformed, unconstitutional criminalization of the cannabis. You are only being selfish and short sighted to say a thing like that.

yeah i dont see too many hard nosed pot dealers. not on the local level anyway. but who knows. i do think however that its a stupid ban in this country. especially for those needing it for medicinal purposes. how can the government be so righteous as to outlaw a substance that doctors say cures or aids in the treatment of a disease? what a bunch of assholes. all this for a non-addictive cheap to cultivate weed. bunch of old assholes.

if marijuana was legalized some dealers would turn to other criminal activities to make money or get a job. They might sell harder drugs or even do robberies. Ive seen it happen when the big droughts came. I would like to see it leagalized in an attempt to stop more kids getting hooked on more harmfull substances

perhaps, but they would never have started being drug dealers in the first place. weed is the GATEWAY drug. for kids its cheaper to buy an ounce of weed and flip it and then move up than to buy, what a 1/8 of coke and find coke buyers? everyone smokes weed thats why everyone starts with selling weed. its plentiful and crosses all socio-economic barriers. people get caught up in this drug dealer mystique. but if they never had the opportunity cuz weed wasnt a drug anymore, they would probably just be like everyone else. a stoner

Marijuana is not a Gateway drug. A higher percentage of the pooulation that has never smoked is hooked on other drug than the percentage of people that have smoked marijuana. I haven't ever heard of anyone committing a robbery to buy weed either. You must be listening to the dea propaganda. VV
