God damn it I hate all the stoners in this state.
[QUOTE=Thlis;16089200]Why should things be legalized just for the sake of money?[/QUOTE]
because there is no reason why it should be illegal anyway

It sends the wrong message to the public.
You already see teens smoking cigarettes, drinking, many using drugs.
Imagine how it would be if it was legal.

You would see teens smoking cigarettes, drinking, many using drugs, and smoking weed.
What's your point.

this.
Imagine the increase in scale.

You've obviously never been to a california highschool, at my highschool i'd say close to 60% of the kids there are stoners, and the majority of them being in IB/AP classes.
it won't really do much.
[QUOTE=Thlis;16089433]Imagine the increase in scale.[/QUOTE]
What?
Increase in scale of what?
Seriously, what is your point.
Through my math it would bring 14B country-wide.
[QUOTE=Nick Nack;16089512]Through my math it would bring 14B country-wide.[/QUOTE]
1.4x50=14?
moar like 70b.
it would probably be even more then that, the statistics they use right now i think are just based off of how many people use it medically.
Which brings me to my previous question:
Isn't weed where it is financially because of its illegality? If you legalize it, the drop in value would be significant.

that just means more tax revenue in the long run.
[QUOTE=Rapetacular;16078661]oh no drugs are bad, marijuana is for dumb people, you get addicted and lose motivation for everything, etc, etc.

also, you're wrong. you can smoke blow. just mix it into the weed.[/QUOTE]
Smoke chewy like a motherfuckin nut
[QUOTE=lazyguy;16082733]It's not addictive.[/QUOTE]
anything good is addictive
fuck, i'm addicted to mount & blade
[QUOTE=SilverHammer;16081984]It helps doesn't it?[/QUOTE]
Meh, whatever helps them sleep at night. In all honesty, $1.4 billion isn't enough to do much nowadays. of course it'd help, but I hope people don't take it as a 'One-way' fix for the economy.
[B]EDIT:[/B] Again, I'm not anti-pot, I just don't smoke it, and I don't really give a flying fuck about the legalization of it.

troll much?
I don't quite understand how this will get them 1.4 billion, smuggling will still exist and drug dealers will still sell it, maybe even more aggressively.
California will be in a price war with the gangs, once supply is up the price will drop making the tax free hook-up that you've had since you were a wee little boy more desirable than the heavily(see cigarettes) taxed government approved weed.
In other words, California has proven to be defunct yet again.
Legalizing is 100% guaranteed to create more work for the people and more income for the state, just look how the medicinal cannabis is right now, a huge business worth lots of money. The demand is there, the people want it so why not legalize?.
[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]
It'll make a big difference. It'll help the economy and give people jobs.

[QUOTE=HookerVomit;16076031]:v: I don't live there. But maybe if this happens, the rest of the world might follow suit.
I dont want this to happen really, because smoking it illegally gives it more of an excitement factor. I dont even smoke pot.. but I like it more than drinking. Drinking should be illegal.
Here come the disagrees and dumbs.[/QUOTE]
Yes, because the prohibition worked so well. :rolleyes:
I personally think that the government has no right to ban drugs. It's someone's choice to do drugs or whatever, not the government's!
Besides, banning things never really does anything.
[QUOTE=Bean-O;16080458]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.

Well, as you know, the US government likes to control things that they have no business being in.

[QUOTE=TAU!;16078712]Would it really create this much profit? I really doubt iit.
Go back to History Class.[/QUOTE]
When you smoke weed or pot if you wanna call that, you get hungry as hell, so imagine pizza shops, or food stores getting more income from pot smokers.
Oh my God. Did no one read the 50 dollars an ounce fee part?
I really don't care if others smoke pot.
Instead of banning it, think of this
If pot is illegal, people will get their fix illegally from drug dealers
Those drug dealers may become big drug lords, or the pot is not clean and has other drug-laces in it.
If pot is legal, the government will make billions of dollars and we might get out of our debt.
People are going to smoke that shit either way dumbasses
[QUOTE=GamerKiwi;16094025]Yes, because the prohibition worked so well. :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
No, yeah, mainstream religions use cannabis in their rituals, and there isn't already an illegal smuggling underground in marijuana.

People are going to kill people either way too, but you don't see us legalizing murder.

i already knew about tax revenue with legalizing for a while, its a shame they're just taking this into account
Yaaaaay :3
