If Weed was 100% legal in the USA

Alcoholics never "opened fire" to protect thier rights, the Gangsters who stepped in to fulfil the demand for it did to protect thier turf, much as it is today. Too many mainstream americans drank alcohol to keep it illegal for long. Too many high profile people were at risk of going to jail. One would think that thats how it is today as well, but something tells me that there is more going on with pot legislation than meets the eye. There is something out of whack in the totally disproportionate attack on pot. WHY is it so important that they continue to persecute it and those who partake?

If it were 100% legal, as in like alcohol legal, then yes, everyone would be able to grow thier own. Much like we are able to make so much beer or liquor without taxation. But you don't see all alcoholics brewing thier own, in fact a damn small percentage of all drinkers make it. There will STILL be a market for Samuel Adams in the Budweiser market!!

The best choice is categorize the weed such as wine, and the government wanna increase their taxes revenue too man!!

If weed one day is gonna be 100% legalize to grow and sale will be perfect our government they will stop waist money to arrest stoners, and they will centralize the money to correct actions for security!!

In my opinion everthing should be legal, the peoples should make their own choices, and they should centralize the efforts in education!!

See ya

I understand the duality of concept since there are two that make one.

It's a larger perspective than we realize.

If we look out into space there are no places to go for millions of light years so we and all that is Earth is a Cattle Farm. be it a meat market or Political culling.

So since we know we are Economic Cattle can we have and use weed?

That's all. Where do you stand on Getting Stoned? On the side of freedom or profits?

Imagination is a human right or we are simply the Beast of Burden.

What the hell does smoking weed do?

I'd say make one dream!; Imagine! and find inspiration!

In Short it is Good For You!

Smart Rabbit right there! I agree 100% The MAIN reason why cannabis has had such a rough time is because it is truly IS a multi-purpose crop that PEOPLE CAN GROW on thier own- without DuPont, Monsanto, Baxter or Lily! Once people have healing power in thier hands, the govs cannot exert control on behalf of the corporations. Remember we are all cattle and the govs have to exert more control or we realize we really don't need them anymore. Typical self-preservation act by any number of crappy governments on this planet.

I suppose none of you ever heard of Alcopone or a tommy gun...right.

Yeah everyone's heard of that douchebag. He was brought down by the treasury department for... tax evasion. And shortly after Capone was arrested Alcohol Prohibition was lifted. Capone profited immensely due to the huge demand for black market booze. Take away the black market, you take away the riff raff that goes with it.

Al Capone: Gangster (One of many) who stepped up to provide a product made illegal by prohibition. Tommy Gun: Weapon of choice for said gangster to protect the turf created by the demand for the product that prohibition prohibited.
Alcoholics: The boozers who sat by, drinking illegal booze in speak-easys, watching all this go down in complete defiance of said prohibition laws. They didnt fire a shot.
Kennedy Family: Made their fortune running illegal booze into New England from Canada during prohibition in complete defiance of prohibition laws, now commonly accepted as respectable, upstanding citizens, politicians,and new American royalty. See Chappaquiddick.

Prohibition created the climate for the black market and violent under-world figures who protected thier turf thru superior firepower.
