Obama Legilization of marijuana

[drumbum3218]

At least he's trying something productive, and staying busy. I haven't seen pics of him plaing golf, or sitting on a horse in the middle of nowhere yet. So at least he's not on vacation for the first year of presidency. Like someone i recall.... And every president promises things during campaigning that turn out to be unrealistic to make happen, if not impossible. At the worse, Obama's the lesser of two evils. At the least, his intentions dont involve running the country to the ground, while making personal gain, again, sounds like someone i recall... Dushce? or wait Dush, nope, Bush. Thats the one

It's funny you say golf. Obama has more rounds of golf in as of today then Bush did in 8 years.

Guess the press missed that one.

Bush was too busy fucking sheep to golf as much.

PLEEEEEEEASE DO NOT FAVOR THE LEGALIZATION OF IT.


IT DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE

If they were to legilize marijuana in the US ( that is were im talking about) The government would be creating a new REGULATED market. This means that you would be able to go to the gas station, or coffea shop or whatever and buy pot like beer. WHO CAN COMPETE WITH PERFECTLY ROLLD UP DOOBYS OF THE BEST SHIT???? CAN YOU???...... didnt thiknk so.....anyways back on track.

Right now about 80% of the cash earned by businesses in the US from retail sales comes from money that came from marijuana in one way or another. legilize it and about 90% of that money would dissapear meaning stores would close down, go out of business, people would go into debt, CHAOS.

Marijuana creates one of the biggest unregulated markets in the country with some 55MILLION people involved including people liek me and you. In a sense marijuana feuls america everyday. what do marijuana dealers do with the money they make???? THEY BUY SHIT, RANDOM SHIT CARS, BOATS, HOUSES, STOCKS, INVESTMENT, AND EVERYDAY THINGS FOOD, CLOTHS, GAS, HEALTH CARE PRODUCTS!! take this money, or market away from america and I think 60% of businesses would SIVEARLY suffer or all together shutdown. Alot of people would go crazy.

Decriminalization is a drastically different approach. If it were ever to happen, then think about it "all the users of your site could continue what they do everyday" the US continues to flourish like it does today except on average 185,000 people every year would be spared from jail, and we would save enough money from not having to house, feed, and jail these "criminals" (pot smokers, sellers) to bring our country out of this recession. Not to mention the millions we would save every year going after "weed criminals"

There would be millions and billions of dollars to spair for our coutry to use for valuable resources such as healthcare, military, and police for the REAL DRUGS cocaine, heroin, ect.


SO PPLEEEEASE VOTE FOR DECRIMINALIZATION!!!!!!!!!!!

Why are you spamming this post all over the forum?

Re-legalization. Not too long ago, cannabis was legal. Re-legalization.

Regulation means legitimacy. If there were a segment of the market just begging to be regulated and taxed it is cannabis. The potential revenue stream is enormous. Cannabis is a low hanging fruit for the policy makers and they are beginning to take notice.

Beer/liquor sales and tobacco sales will not be affected in the least. Some people do not like cannabis. It is a fact. If anything, big tobacco stands to gain the most from re-legalization. How hard would it be to retool a cigarette manufacturing facility into a joint manufacturing facility? Not hard at all.

Prescription drug sales might suffer once patients have the choice between high grade medical cannabis and the poison the pharmaceuticals are currently peddling.

Right now about 80% of the cash earned by businesses in the US from retail sales comes from money that came from marijuana in one way or another. legilize it and about 90% of that money would dissapear meaning stores would close down, go out of business, people would go into debt, CHAOS.

Sources please. I wish to know where this 80% figure comes from. Legalize it all all that money currently filtering through the black market to the cartels would be out in the open. Just the opposite of what you predict would happen. Re-legalization would energize the economy.

The War on Drugs. Now that's chaos!

If what you say is true and 55 million are involved, then by all means, re-legalize it! Put all that money back into the economy. Allow people to apply for jobs without fear of a piss test. Put them back into the economy, too.

Apparently you believe drug trafficking is driving our economy. WRONG! It is driving criminal cartel economies. They spend their money at home. And your garden variety, domestic, street-level drug dealer does not have a pot to piss in.

All of that would happen with re-legalization.

And you failed to mention industrial hemp. Another casualty of our insane war on a plant. Re-legalize cannabis and hemp comes roaring back, too.

RE-LEGALIZE IT!

If Obama legalizes it he can put Karl Marx on the dollar bill and he'll still be ok with me.

How is your president a communist? Do Americans even know what Communism and Socialism is?

 

[JonnyBtreed]

How is your president a communist? Do Americans even know what Communism and Socialism is?

because he's laying the groundwork for the structure of a socialist government and trying to take away many of the freedoms the US was founded upon.

Americans know of the words, but i would have to say the majority wouldn't know the true definitions if they fell out of the sky and landed on their heads. Ever get that sinking feeling that your the only intelligent being standing in a giant flock of sheep with a cruel and corrupt sheephearder in charge with no escape in sight?...........damn....this is some good

do you really think that if the fathers of our country where still alive today they would applaud what we have become as a society??? im sure that our technological advancements would astound them of course, but do you really thing the corrupt and prejudice nature of our government is what they really had in mind?

maybe you misunderstood me. I think Thomas Jefferson would be BULLSHIT if he knew what became of the country he worked so hard to structure.

 

[MrSmiles]

sorry jonny, didn't mean to come out that way. sometimes i get a little emotional about the sad state of our so called educated society.

*reaching out a peace pipe*

 

[bigtomatofarmer]

Which is why we need a strict constitutionalist president.

Did someone say... Ron Paul?

I don't know if this has been touched on yet...

Even if Obama wanted to pass legistlation legalizing MMJ, he clearly couldn't get the bill passed even with owning both houses. This admin and congress cannot get out of their own way.

Obama has done what he can on the MMJ front by ending federal raids in MMJ states, which is how it should be.

Cannabis, medical or not, is a state issue thus no business whatsoever of the federal government.

What I would like to see Obama do is stop funding federal grants which encourage cannabis prohibition in the states. The Justice Department has enormous discretion in this area.

The Office of National Drug Control Policy is a component of the Executive Office. The President has enormous influence here.
