didn't they need a breathe test or some way for cops to get proof of DUI before they can legalize it? I think that was one of the hurdles.

Maybe, but there's no breath test for stuff like cocaine and other hard drugs though. A field sobriety test is all a cop needs.

I think it's more about no one wanting to stand up and be the guy to say I'm gonna push for drug legalization. Bill O'Reilly would hit the roof.

Watch this doc then come back and we can talk about how much of a waste and fraud the war on drugs is.

American Drug War: The Last White Hope - War on Drugs

Locking up non-voilent drug users is this biggest joke and waste of US tax dollars, why not help these people instead of amplifying their problem? Best line from that doc is this:

Betty Ford had a drug problem (alcohol) they built a clinic for her, Robert Downey JR had a drug problem also (cocaine) they threw him in jail. Does that make sense to you?

Also catch the the Cocaine Cowboys, that is a awesome doc as well.
Cocaine Cowboys (2006)

This one baffles me. I have never understood why the government doesn't legalize and regulate it. I think mredskins off-hand point of pot-smokers being lazy probably is as close to a reason as any since no group is going to lead the charge on this one. of course it could be that everyone fears the fate of the

spiders

. I Love that clip!!

Think what a economic boon it would be for the potato chip, and snack food industries?

[Daseal]

Yeah, I'd certainly invest in Frito-Lay, Krisky Kreme, and whoever makes Doritos quick if this legislation was about to pass.

So once legalized what is a fair price for a 20 pack of ciggaweed? Can people grow it at home? Because if they can, that shit ain't getting taxed.

yo ucan grow a ton of crap on your own that is currenly taxed, the thing is people are not going to go to that kind of trouble.

I am taxed on corn but you don't see me growing my own for consumption.

I'm not sure about an adjusted price if it were legalized, but i have an idea. My buddy has a prescription and according to him, all the dispensaries sell it at about street value. Depending on strain, an eighth is around 50-70. I'm guessing since it's illegal in most places, the price is naturally driven up. Keep it around street prices when it's legal and people can still make a profit (even with taxation) since there's less links on the distribution chain.

I thought about that, growing a few plants in your basement is more cost effective than growing your own corn, especially if we're talking about keeping prices street price high. I mean, the growth period for marijuana is shorter (~8 weeks) and amusing you're not a weedhead the consumption rate is smaller (2/3 times a week).

Around here it's $40-$60 for 5 ounce bag, depending on quality of course. I suspect once it is legalized prices will plummet cause every stoner will have the great idea of starting their own weed business. Of course if the government taxes it to death and prices remain as they are it'll give people more incentive to grow their own or find a friend that'll share their stash on the cheap.

He must mean grams, otherwise I'm moving to Seattle.

That is what I am saying the convenince of it being in the store. not everyone is going to try to grow the stuff.

Even simplier example. I could have made dinner last night but it was easier to order out pizza and the pizza was taxed.
