Drug, Inc.

[BLAZER PROPHET]

wait, most people start smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol before weed, so lets attribute all those deaths there instead, right?

seems logical

Someone more knowledgeable help me out: let's say it gets legalized nationwide. I've only seen the "legit" shops and dealers in Grass Valley and in the Seattle area, and I haven't been impressed with their operations or controls (and I think a bunch got shut down). Is there a "Weed Wal-Mart" or "Marijuana Anheuser Busch" waiting to start working the market, collecting all this revenue and paying taxes on time?

It would be more like Marlborough Greens. I read that major cig companies have been buying up land in california to hedge their bets on legalization. One problem with full legaliztion that most people dont consider is that it would instantly be corporatized and mass produced squeezing the mom and pops out of the market. The same mom and pops who are advocating for legalization.

And your point is? That because we already have things that people use to hurt other innocent people that we must add more? Got that one.

I think the pont is that the current war on drugs does way more to harm people and our society than drugs could ever do. Every substance (or thing) that make people feel good will be abused by a certain portion of the population, legal or not. Education and rehab is better than felionaztion and incarceration. Portugal is an interesting example of a decrimilized drug policy that is working. Urugay is moving in the right direction also. The rest of latin america is begging us to change our policies. The war on drugs doesnt work.
