thats about right man. he very best we can hope for is decriminalization and medicinal use. We wont see outright legalization for years and years to come man. Besides, the above posters are right, if its legalized, do you wanna see RJ Reynolds sell packs of joints in every single store you go to, making billions of dollars off of a trade like cannabis? Granted, if legalized the gov't is only gonna end up growing shwag, which leaves a HUGE market still for dank weed, but even the idea of taking money out of the pockets of millions and millions of people who pay theyre bills by selling and growing pot, makes me sick man. I dont give a fuck what people say about demonizing the pot dealer -- theres nothing wrong with being a weed dealer (not that i sell weed, i use for medicinal purposes) at all in any way. If it werent for weed dealers, none of us would have ever tried our first taste of pot ever man. Without them, there would be no us, and thats fact.
Sellin pot is not a bad thing, and i dont see why people cant see that. Making money off of weed has been a form of supporting entire families for decades, and if legalized, would be fucking ALOT of families over. Sure you can say, "well why cant they just get a fucking honest job?" -- whats so dishonest about selling weed? its not like theyre selling coke, heroin, or anything else thats gona get the buyer hooked and willing to murder someone over a 20 sack to shoot up. The weed dealer is a blessing in my book, and i wouldnt want to do anything to take money out of their pockets, ever. Decriminalization and medicinal use would be an ideal situation, because it would allow those dealers to think about growing, so they can grow for medicinal shops and profit off of it in a "legitemate" way in the public eye, and pay their taxes, which lets face it, thats what it really all comes down to in the long run anyway right? as long as the gov't can get their little slice of the pie, everyone is happy right??
Im actually against legalization to a certain extent personally. Too many people that have no business fuckin around with weed will be involved in the shit knee deep. Weve worked hard to form a strong counterculture around pot, and to turn it into a mainstream type of thing, just wouldnt float in my boat.
