If they were to legilize
marijuana in the US ( that is were im talking about) The government would be creating a new REGULATED market. This means that you would be able to go to the gas station, or coffea shop or whatever and buy pot like beer. WHO CAN COMPETE WITH PERFECTLY ROLLD UP DOOBYS OF THE BEST SHIT???? CAN YOU???...... didnt thiknk so.....anyways back on track.
Right now about 80% of the cash earned by businesses in the US from retail sales comes from money that came from
marijuana in one way or another. legilize it and about 90% of that money would dissapear meaning stores would close down, go out of business, people would go into debt, CHAOS.
How would that money disappear? It would just pump it into our economy directly. Marijuana is something that we can cultivate by ourselves, because it can grow in almost any climate. Which means less importing which is one of the main reasons where in the economic times that we are. Legalization means more jobs and more money stimulating the economy. I mean, how different do you think this is from the prohibition? It's not at all. Where are you getting these percentages anyway?
Marijuana creates one of the biggest unregulated markets in the country with some 55MILLION people involved including people liek me and you. In a sense
marijuana feuls america everyday. what do
marijuana dealers do with the money they make???? THEY BUY SHIT, RANDOM SHIT CARS, BOATS, HOUSES, STOCKS, INVESTMENT, AND EVERYDAY THINGS FOOD, CLOTHS, GAS, HEALTH CARE PRODUCTS!! take this money, or market away from america and I think 60% of businesses would SIVEARLY suffer or all together shutdown. Alot of people would go crazy.
How would businesses shut down? They would be making more money selling the weed themselves! I have no idea where you are getting these theories. I mean think about what your saying here. The markets now sell weed, so instead of indirectly getting the money from marijuana dealers, they get it straight from the buyers for the product. How would they be taking away the weed market, they would be expanding it! They're not only making money for selling it, but also more money from the taxes that will be put on it. HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY PERCEIVE THAT THIS MONEY WOULD DISSAPEAR?
Decriminalization is a drastically different approach. If it were ever to happen, then think about it "all the users of your site could continue what they do everyday" the US continues to flourish like it does today except on average 185,000 people every year would be spared from jail, and we would save enough money from not having to house, feed, and jail these "criminals" (pot smokers, sellers) to bring our country out of this recession. Not to mention the millions we would save every year going after "weed criminals"
Yes, but legalization would do this SAME THING, only it would stimulate the economy a helluva lot more! (because WE are selling it and WE are taxing it.)
There would be millions and billions of dollars to spair for our coutry to use for valuable resources such as healthcare, military, and police for the REAL DRUGS cocaine, heroin, ect.
SO VOTE FOR DECRIMINALIZATION
It's funny how your last few points have nothing to do with decriminalization, as we would reap the same benefits with legalization. I'm not trying to talk shit to you or anything I just don't get how you could even think that the money made from marijuana would dissapear if stores and businesses ect. in the U.S. sold it, took in all the profit, taxed it, and like I said it can be grown in any climate which means no importing/exporting which means 100% of the profit coming from it would go to our country.
With a pot dealer theres no way that 100% of it gets pumped back into our economy. Like for example, say a low status dealer would make, say, $1000 a month selling, while a high status dealer rakes in $100k a month. So maybe the lower one can go around and pump that money back into the economy, while the big time dealer couldn't possibly do that without raising suspicion. So what do they do? They spend their money overseas, not to mention keeping there money in overseas banks.
All things considered, I'm not trying to flam on anyones opinions, I'm just stating my own.
I've been pretty manic today, which always leaves me physically feeling awful; the two combined are more than enough to all too easily make me forget for a while just how much I really do have it made in so many ways, sick or not.
lol
