the whole key to legalization is just HOW much money can THEY make off it....

they make more money bustin ppl for it so probably it wont ever be legalized...

and alcohol and tobacco: those types of corps basically run the country now so there is no half steppin them

phillip morris aint gonna sell no marlboro GREENS for 20 bucks a pack son; noumsayn? not when jorge or ( insert favorite friend/dealer here) has some kush around the corner for a benjamin an OZ.

you see this constantly in every state: DRY COUNTIES!

wtf you thinik they get their revenue from to promote city projects and re-electrons?

they get it from busting ppls ass coming from the county net to them in roadblocks and taking their beer /weed away then going smoke it themselves.. plus give you a steep ass fine that is going to nothing but the judges pocket and/or the fund they have setup to throw POPO balls n shit.

its a total catch -22 in this country. yeah its illegal for you; but for us... ITS PARTY TIME! i say fuck em all

Some interesting posts in this thread. Just to dispel a few things..

Getting a prescription for marijuana is not quite as easy as you'd think. It depends entirely on your doctor and their personal beliefs. Those who view weed in a positive light are more likely to prescribe while those who view it strictly for it's medicinal purposes are much more strict.

And it's not like you can walk into the Dr's office ahead of time as ask about their policies towards weed.


Gov't does make some money from fines and tickets associated with "busting" people who possess. However, if they were to legalize it they'd make MUCH more in the long run because they'd have two major sources of Revenue.

1. The most obvious revenue is Taxes. Make it a legal product, contract companies to grow/harvest/sell according to gov't guidelines, and tax it. They could even go as far as to tax different strains at different rates, so you'll pay more tax on higher grade weed then you would on lower grades.

2. Busting illegal growers. Simply institute regulations on marijuana growing (think USDA for weed) and create a license that must be carried to sell. Those found growing out of regulation face severe fines as do those caught selling without a license. Now Joe Dealer either has to pay yearly for a license to sell or face possibly losing all his profits trying to sell something that people can easily go to the store for. Growers would now face losing money out of pocket in addition to their crops being taken and most likely used for the commercial product.

It would basically create too much of a financial risk for underground sales.

Then all you have to do is institute laws of use (i.e. Must be 21 yrs old; Can't drive under the influence; Can't use on public property... etc) and boom. Legal weed for the stoners and extra income for the Gov't.

It would also free up some space in the prisons by no longer having to imprison people for pot crimes.

In LA I'm telling you if you "know" which doctor to go to. Which if I lived there I dont think it would be to hard to "know" the right one. You can walk in there and tell him just about anything and get one. Trust me it is not hard at all. It would take no research whatsoever to get a legal perscription there.
I thought the same thing cuz I was facinated by the entire process. He told the doctor he was depressed, and that canibus eases his anxioty, thats it. No test no nothing. You walk into the shop, which they are everywhere if you know what symbol to look for above the door. Glass case, symilar to a skateshop showcasing wheels and trucks. And they are all on display, pick which one you want (which they are named kinda funny names like purple oey gooey not xl5d88 or anything) they are not like dirt cheap either, pretty standard pricing going up to very expensive. And in smaller amounts they are packaged in pill containers like you get normal prescriptions in. But the tags are handwritten not spit out of a printer. Its not like there are tiedie dudes sparkin spliffs with pimp hats on (although that would rock) there are normal people, business people, black, white, mom dad you name it. And you are also alloud to grow like 2 or 3 plants at your house. Its no joke and yes it is VERY VERY EZ

The costs associated with keeping minor drug offenders in lock up is mind boggling. What a waste of taxpayer money...
