[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;21986571]If it's used for medical purposes your just going too put more pot into the cartels hands. If it's used for non-medical purposes you just going too have legal drug dealers going around school yards selling pot to kids.[/QUOTE] Yes because it would totally be legal to bring marijuana on school grounds :downs:
[QUOTE=Perfumly;21986866]Yes because it would totally be legal to bring marijuana on school grounds :downs:[/QUOTE] Never stated people do it legally. The fact you have a free-market though only institutes that it's easier too get on the area with a joint. It's pretty much like going near the campus with a cigarette. Will you get bitched at if your in the parking lot? No. Free-Market. It's a bitch.

It's not like pot instantly makes kids failures at academics Ironically, it seems that up here all the "actually smart" kids are the ones who smoke pot and the ones who are just plain stupid are the ones who are anti-pot.
When I was in high school we could get weed way easier than getting alcohol.

Majority of the people I know who do pot usually sit on their ass ,and bitch at people for smoking pot. They'll usually sit their stating, "YOU'RE NOT HARDCORE". Truly that is my full reason for hating pot. In the pie chart it has some good eggs who are alright then it has the bad eggs who sit their ,and make people want to keep it illegal.

At least they're on the right track. The tax dollars will be unimaginable.
[QUOTE=Ldesu;21984501]alcohol kills but it's legal, so yeah why not[/QUOTE] The reason alcohol is legal is because it would be impossible to make it illegal now. Most of the world drinks it. It was created in a time where things like these could not be banned, as the law would never be able to be enforced. By the time a system of government kicked in where laws like this could be enforced, it was too late.

Do you think they would lose a lot of alcohol tax revenue if weed is legalized?
[QUOTE=ASmellyOgre;21984543]I triple dog dare you to legalize pot, Obama.[/QUOTE] I'll single that I QUADRUPLE DOG DARE YOU to legalize pot obama. Not a single human being in the world can resist a quadruple dog dare.:smug:
Alcohol is worse for you than pot, so they should legalize it.
If Obama legalized pot, he would get a lot of votes from stoners.

tax pot = secretly win the drug war
I say, keep it illegal; Shit smells horrible and slowly kills your brain. Reducing Prefrontal Lobe activity and can induce Psychosis and Schizophrenia. (Marijuana seems to induce underlying mental disorders, not cause them, this is still under study. While the prefrontal lobe damage is directly corroborated with marijuana use.) But if they do legalize, put a Fifty Thousand Per Cent tax on it. Then say hello to Reliable Healthcare and No Property Taxes. [B]EDIT: [/B]Sources.

[QUOTE=pie_is_good;21987665]Yah remember the prohibition?[/QUOTE] Yep. That is one of the things I based my thought on.
I reckon if they taxed it, it should be somewhat $2.50 per gram or so [editline]09:19AM[/editline] But i love you america for bringing up the great truth of why cannnabis should be legal

[QUOTE=Zattatar;21990035]Alcohol is worse for you than pot, so they should legalize it.[/QUOTE] See my post on page 1 about Alcohol please.
[QUOTE=PrismatexV8;21990557]$2.50/gram sounds fair but a little high.[/QUOTE] A little [B]high[/B] Heh, had to be done. But I'd be perfectly find with $2.50/gram, I pay $20/gram in Australia, and it only takes me about 0.15g to get high off my nuts. Then again, it'd depend on how chronic it is as well

[editline]06:47PM[/editline] I'd be cool paying $12.50 a gram, and funding government programs and stuff, instead of giving money to gangs and shit
[QUOTE=radioactive;21984500]Doesn't the Government understand the money they can get from taxing pot?[/QUOTE] The medical companies will pay them more to keep it illegal.
[QUOTE=PrismatexV8;21990557]$2.50/gram sounds fair but a little high.[/QUOTE] that's pretty fucking cheap.

[editline]06:47PM[/editline] I'd be cool paying $12.50 a gram, and funding government programs and stuff, instead of giving money to gangs and shit[/QUOTE] Not sure actually, I'm not sure what the prices of weed would be when it's legal, but anything over $1.50 in tax would aid the government a lot. And like what you said, I'd be happy knowing my money is going to the country, not for some person to keep in their pocket. Anyone have any ideas on what the price would be if it was legal, or the price in America right now?

So it'll come out to be Fifty Dollars per gram.

[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;21991278]Well under my suggested tax, It would be charged one cent per gram. So it'll come out to be Fifty Dollars per gram.[/QUOTE] If you followed his idea and it was $50/gram, people would just grow it instead of buying it. Or there'd be crime because of people stealing it. I'd really like the idea of paying $2.00 for a dime bag (a gram). Just imagine going down to the store and giving them a $2.00 coin and getting a baggie to have fun with...
