If Weed was 100% legal in the USA

I see the price of weed falling to reasonable levels for Primo and Schwag is made into inscence.

So now we have people free to have weed.

What would you do then? What does this world look like to you?

Come on we smoke weed! We have imaginations!

i think that a lot of people really need pot and cannot grow - so there needs to be sales.. and it seems best to me to have it regulated where adults buy at a store - not forcing adults and kids to the same corner meth dealer.. i think that the whole scene and anything associated with it would seem a lot more clean and non-threatening if it were all in the hands of shop owners..

its the same as beer and wine ,

and it will be very soon ,, nothing magically

Well, why are we allowed to vote if we are not property owners (In the USA) ?

It wasn't always the case. Being a Woman or a non-white was just cause for a lot of political privilege.

What are we? We are not allowed a plant that grows in the sun. A plant mind you.. We are not talking equal shares in the future of humanity.

But about that Future : You are either a Cattle or a Rancher of the Cattle.

Actually this is not a good idea, If you allowed that you just gonna increase the black market and the polices will work ward to stop this!!

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

everything has a catagory and laws regarding it.. even a pile of dead brush can be sold for firewood or can be hazardous if left in the sun..
i like the idea of the powers-that-be just leaving their hands off it - but, our current society is built around rules and monetary values for everything that we see, eat, hear, smell, taste and feel..
remember on Star Trek how they have no money? that is the real goal in my mind - if we can get beyond money then all of these issues are mute.. what we need is matter replication - that would turn the entire world around.. replicate enough food and goods that no one has to suffer or go without anything ever again.. am i right? robots that build and maintain robots.. money has always been 'the root of all evil'.. but, i actually foresee a day when it will cease..

Alcoholics opened fire to aquire and protect their right to consume alcohol. Pot will never be legal. Potheads are to peace loving for any thing to change in their favour.

well - i watched the Prohibition Ken Burns special - and the end of alcohol prohibition was not a bloody one - it was a political one - the candidate at the time had more things going for them besides the 'wet' movement.. but, it took the entire country to see what a horrible mess things had become in the 12 years of alcohol prohibition - it was hard to believe after the program that all of these awful things had actually happened in only one decade..

so, there we go - the bloody part is the time during prohibition.. lives lost every day because of lies and corruption and greed..
