Fuck california legalizing it, it pretty much is already, what you all SHOULD be hoping for is Massachusits legalizing it. (two bills up for vote in the state) Cause you know state number 5 in terms of IQ would be more of a triumph then number 11 [url]http://www.iqleague.com/group/smartest-state-in-us[/url]
[QUOTE=Advancedrock;16077146]wait, is 1.4 billion dollars even that much when we're talking about an entire state?[/QUOTE] Fuck yes it is. Anyway, yay for legalization. They should do this over here.

Isn't that where high ranking people and the president live?
3/4s of that will be used immediatly to buy all the crack they need
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;16076636]I thought the title said $1.48.[/QUOTE] yeah just one guy wants weed in the state of California
Wouldn't 1.4 Billion pay off all the debts the world's in?
oh no drugs are bad, marijuana is for dumb people, you get addicted and lose motivation for everything, etc, etc. [editline]02:08PM[/editline] [QUOTE=PrismatexV3;16076320]Blow refers to powdered cocaine, so you don't smoke blow. This is blow: [img]http://www.canpages.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/image-of-cocaine.jpg[/img] Crack or freebase are most commonly smoked. This is crack: [img]http://www.markhoustonrecovery.com/images/upload/crack-15.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] also, you're wrong. you can smoke blow. just mix it into the weed.
[QUOTE=ohgodshana2;16075968]It's not like all you Californians aren't all blow smoking crackheads anyway, so this'll hardly make much of a difference.[/QUOTE]only poor people do that, but still everyone smokes pot the difference is that it won't be illegal anymore. [editline]11:08AM[/editline] you've never even been to california, have you?
Would it really create this much profit? I really doubt iit. [QUOTE=HookerVomit;16076031]Drinking should be illegal.[/QUOTE] Go back to History Class.
No, the last thing Hollywood needs is an even larger people who laugh at things that aren't funny to sober people.
A $50 an ounce price hike? Fuck me...
[QUOTE=radioactive;16078630]Wouldn't 1.4 Billion pay off all the debts the world's in?[/QUOTE] Thats not even close, it would take a few trillion. 500th post!
[QUOTE=TAU!;16078712]Would it really create this much profit? I really doubt iit. Go back to History Class.[/QUOTE] The only reason why I said that was because 10 of my friends have died because some asshole was drinking and driving. STFU [editline]02:21PM[/editline] I know of no one being killed or killing whilst on cannabis. [editline]02:21PM[/editline] Oh and dont blame the car for their deaths. Blame the poor judgment the driver made because they chose to drink.
[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;16078823]A $50 an ounce price hike? Fuck me...[/QUOTE] Uhh, if it was legalized, you'd be able to grow it your self, and/or there would be so much the price would drop drastically for an ounce after a year or two.
There wont be anymore drug dealers... I just noticed that. Holy crap. You;d have to get it behind the counter I guess.. besides the fact of growing. But even then! The FDA might say that they are going to have inspections on peoples houses to see if they are growing it and you can get arrested for growing it without a liscense. OH CRAP. This is NOT GOOD!
I am against legalization, mostly because I would go out of business. Legalize it everywhere else but here.:angel:
I didn't know pot could pull in that much money...
[QUOTE=LOLturtle;16075980]Not gonna happen.[/QUOTE] Tell that to the state on the brink of bankruptcy.
[QUOTE=Sasoreh;16079309]I didn't know pot could pull in that much money...[/QUOTE] You're kidding right? Get out. [editline]02:45PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Madman_Andre;16079312]Tell that to the state on the brink of bankruptcy.[/QUOTE] People are starting to get desperate. I wonder what parents and politcal pigs are going to say now... "Dont be a hippie...get a job!" :smug: "I can do both mother fucka" D:
[QUOTE=LOLturtle;16076241]No. [url]http://www.1920-30.com/prohibition/[/url][/QUOTE] This is why i say that legalizing weed would be good. Prohibition: Beer is illegal mobs get interested start running beer around selling it for top dollar other gangs move in turf wars, many die beer becomes legal mob can no longer make money off of it loose interest go into prostitution. Now think of it, there are gang wars about turf and selling spots. Since its illegal, people make it and sell it for top dollar if its legalized, gangs loose interest probably go into something else. PLUS, if it is legalized, if you want straight up pure weed, not a blunt with crack or some shit sprayed on it. You gotta really know your dealer. Because even i know that most stoners, wouldn't even dabble in chemical shit. But if it is legalized companies would take over, although this sounds bad, this also means that you won't get that shit in your buds.

I dont know why, because she gets it for free and we make sure I babysit. She laced it with coke and she was tripping balls :( she called me screaming. it was bad Also, they will cut that shit...or add ingredients to it to make it pure shit. {if it gets legalized}
This could turn interesting. Since the drug would be legal in the state but banned by federal law. California is essentially using it's 10th amendment right to pass laws overriding federal legislation that isn't permitted by the constitution. Could turn into a very heated legal battle between California and the federal government.
but drugz r bad n weed makes u do meth [img]http://dexterpd.com/Images/dare.gif[/img] make love not drugs

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;16076728]Yeah... because smoking pot means your a fucking druggie. Yay for ignorance.[/QUOTE] Pot is a drug, and I don't care how many of you say it isn't addicting it is. Yay for pot smoking ignorance. But seriously, I haven't met someone who smokes pot who said they were going to quit and just instantly quit for good. They always have that craving for going back, which means somewhere in their mind they are addicted to it. Making them a druggie. But people LEGALIZING WEED WILL NOT STOP GANG VIOLENCE. You don't understand how gangs work apparently. This is the first thing people who want pot legalized say. If you make marijuana legal the gangs can't make money off of it. So what do they do? They sell OTHER drugs, yes other drugs, they do exist. The problem isn't solved or decreased at all. Yeah weed might not be sold illegally, but crack, speed, meth and prescription drugs and everything else still will be. Gangs have to make money, they aren't going to let a little thing like Weed being legalized put them out of business. Think logically about this.

There is not one argument you can give me that will convince me that pot SHOULD be illegal. Cigarettes are legal Liquor is legal Those both have [B]harmful[/B] effects to the body. Far more harmful than anything pot can do to you. And also, who fucking cares? It's your body, you should be able to put whatever YOU want into your body. It's a moral question. Do you really think it's right that you or anyone has the right to tell someone else what they can do to their body? [B]AND ALSO[/B] For you little 'gang argument'. If they legalize pot, the police can stop wasting time trying to bust pot dealers and focus on the real problem causers.

Think logically about this.[/QUOTE] I've just quit untill november, and i can assure you i haven't been wanting to smoke at all since i stooped, it also doesn't matter if they "wan't to smoke" because that doesn't mean they HAVE TO smoke, there is a huge difference between the two, it's like saying i want to kill someone is just as bad as actually killing someone. And all drugs should be legalized, it's not up to the government to regulate what we do, if anything it's there reponsibility to teach us about it in schools so we can make good choices about it. also meth and speed are the same things :downs:. Meth does have medical uses and so does cocaine, not too sure about crack though. And you have no clue what it's like in california, all of my dealers don't come from "gangs" they all either grow, buy from other dealers, or buy from dispenseries, hardly gangs. using gangs to sell weed doesn't even make sense in the first place, it's a god damn plant, it doesn't have to really have anything done besides letting it dry out a bit, where as for everything else you pretty much need a lab to make it, and having something like gangs to go out and sell it would make it much more profitable and it would allow them to expand into new labs/etc.

I honestly don't care if they legalize it whatever, it is just one more thing cops have to watch for on the streets. Weed does have an effect on the mind and I wouldn't want people driving around high as hell. Just like I don't want people driving around drunk as hell either. Smoking weed isn't even cool but you know if people think it is let them do it whatever.

Logical argument 1 "Smoking kills you, so logically, you should stop smoking." (Notice the should, no one makes you do it.) Logical argument 2 "I'm going to die anyway, so i won't stop smoking" So basically, that semi-wall of text you posted, isn't worth shit to facepunch potheads, including yours truly.
