/agree

If you want pot to be legal, make the case for it, but don't try to attach it to a debt solution like some under the table pork barrel project...

Just set weed under the same set of regs that tobacco falls under. Will some ppl grow their own? Sure. Will not help Fed problem, as it would and should be a State level issue. Could also regulate and tax it like alchohol. Either way.

It should be legal, because making it illegal does not seriously effect usage levels... it just costs a fuckton of tax money and public resources investigating, prosecuting and jailing offenders.

Keeping it criminalized also inordinately funds organized crime, and is a corrupting factor on law enforcement.

Pot use cant be stopped, it just cant. Whether it should be or not is moot and irrelevant. Keeping it criminalized is simply more hassle and expense than it is worth.

And there, in a nutshell, is why it will never be legal.

Too may people depend on the income the "war on drugs", including weed, provides.

Trickle down economics? Yep and just think of all those people who are out there daily fighting to eliminate pot from the streets, homes, etc. That's a TON of money in wages, assets, etc that if suddenly gone (specifically just for pot mind you) things start to break down.

It's so large now that stopping it all together by legalizing it would have worse effects than the drug itself.

Maybe temporarily, but since we are actually having our "drug war" financed by China - long term we would certainly be better off if we stopped spending money on it.

You are right about the political difficulty regarding the situation though. Lots of people interested in keeping the gov't money flowing. There is also a large segment of industry that does not want to have to compete with hempen products.

Arkh, If you were in America saying this someone would brand you with the Tea Party member, call you racist, sexist and about every other "ist" there is. Because we should be taxed 80% so we can give it to some lazy fuckface that can't peel their fatass of the couch long enough to do anything. Except run to the mailbox so they can get their government check. Also getting your perspective is awesome, since you live outside the U.S. it's refreshing to see that not all people have gone mad!

Funny thing Kaotic, I heard some dumbass on the radio try to say if we legalized pot and taxed it, that within a few years the debt would be wiped out from the tax revenue. I know one thing, if politicians ever thought that would be a possibilty to get that kind of massive revenue. Then pot would have been legal a LONG time ago. I have nothing against pot, I've smoked it, no big deal.
