Get drunk to your heart's content though, as long as they can collect taxes.

Money is what those greedy bastards are all about. They don't really give a damn about our weed. Their bottom line is $$$$$ That is why booze is legal because they can control it's production and tax it.

well it's not just money. it's whose money. i'm sure everyone knows the argument for the economic growth that would happen from legalizing pot. But someone would lose money. That someone would be the DEA. if pot were legalized then they would lose a huge chunk of their budget.

the reason why alcohol would never be prohibited again is because, while the DEA would get a huge increase to thiner budget, the beer and liquor companies would lose a lot of money and they sure as hell would fight to stop prohibition of alcohol.

pot doesn't have that huge financial backing like alcohol, but faces the same opponent.

Plus what would happen to all of these companies that sell stuff to stoners at high prices when Walmart started to carry the same thing?

Think of it lets go down to Walmart to pick up some seeds and a new light. lol

i'm sure a lot of people would start growing but if it were legalized, huge companies would jump all over it and start growing as mass quantities of pot. I would imagine that the cost would more or less plummet. far beyond the point where it would be cheap to just buy than to grow the same amount. I personally would still grow but i'm not sure walmart could make grow setups that cheap....but they are walmart...

Mass produced setups made in China and sold for a fraction of what we are used to paying. All these greedy bastards that are now making big dollars of stoners would be out on their butts.

Have marijuana seeds hanging right next to the flower seeds. lol

Even if weed was legalized, I really doubt big companies like Wal-Mart would get involved with it. For one thing, it would probably be heavily regulated so you could only get it in certain shops. Lots of Americans don't like weed though, so if Wal-Mart could sell it, they wouldn't do it because of their image.
