A good little read about the economics of cannabis

[cookin]

a site talking about cannabis policy from an economists stance, i've been studying economics for my exams recently, a lot of stuff about Friedman and guess what.... he supports legalisation lol.

three Nobel Laureates are included in supporting this, and just look at the long list of endorsing economists.

I'm thinking of changing my dissertation topic to this would be way more interesting than the nationalisation of bolivian hydrocarbons

Thanks for the link, what a great article. I wonder if these guys are going to take their findings to Obama? We've got people on our side

Could you imagine weed actually being legal in the U.S.?

Yes and while I'm at it I'm imagining the drastic changes that my back yard would go through too........

I saw a program on "current" TV last night, I belive it was in Lebanon. They had thousands of acres of pot fields, as far as the eye could see. Those plants were little more than one giant Bud each, about 3-4 ft tall, just millions of them. They were for making Hash. I remember back in the day smoking Lebanese hash, really fine stuff. I wonder if they have a Marijuana combine for harvesting them?

No problem, thanks for the rep, damn yours are worth a lot, you've more than doubled my point lol. yeah hopefully they'll present it to obama as well. I know that there are a lot of other aspects in legalisation but helps to have good arguements in all areas and more prominent 'respectable' figures adding to it
