Members nerol1st Posted November 7, 2012 Members Share Posted November 7, 2012 As someone who doesn't partake, I feel that taxing it is the only sensible thing to do. Get us the {censored} out of debt...Except it won't because those in charge can't balance a {censored}ing checkbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So lemme get this straight: If it's sold from grower to distributor at $10 per gram, then it's $12.50 per gram. When the distributor sells to the shop, it's $15.63 per gram. Then, the shop sells it to the customer, and it's $19.54 a gram. That's kinda {censored}ed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I don't trust them to spend it on things to better the state or fix the debt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jlb32 Posted November 8, 2012 Members Share Posted November 8, 2012 Originally Posted by NeloAngelo well tobacco actually kills. willie nelson and snoop are still alive and in good health (well, snoop lost his {censored}ing mind recently), and vaporizing is becoming the new norm. It's been proven that marijuana smoke causes cancer just like tobacco. The most potent carcinogen in tobacco (benzopyrene) is present in even greater amounts in marijuana. Mauijuana studies also show that besides lung and heart related illnesses there is a much increased risk for testicular cancer in men. I personally could care less if they legalize marijuana. I just think it's pretty hypocritical to act like they want to stop smoking because of it's health related issues then turn around and legalize marijuana that is as dangerous as tobacco if not more dangerous.

Tommy Chong also quit smoking marijauna because of health issues. His cancer is slow stage one cancer. He's not cured, he's just not advanced stages. Really no proof the hemp oil is doing anything yet. It would be cool if it did cure him though but taking hemp oil isn't smoking marijuana.

Members chrispsullivan Posted November 8, 2012 Members Share Posted November 8, 2012 Here's what's going to happen. The Feds will literally do nothing until this is actually implemented. They will step in with the DEA and their legal team once it actually starts getting sold in stores. The DEA will do nothing about personal use. They do not have the resources to prosecute individuals for personal use, and they never have. It simply means that the state and local law enforcement agencies are going to stop bothering folks for smoking a little bit of weed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
