Legalize it for all use.

or you could just go to spain where its legal for personal use

I'm all for making it legal and a state monopoly, watch the cash flow in as all the dumb potheads flock to buy it.

>>3817058
ok, i am not one of the fucktards who thinks theres going to be a $200 an ounce tax on weed and its going to be more expensive to buy legally than it is now, but if there was some state monopoly bullshit it would probably be both expensive and shitty weed and i would seriously consider the black market

>>3817066
>and i would seriously consider the black market

Well, now, that's simple. We just have to make purchasing it on the black market a heavily punished crime.

>>3817070
That's cool and all but I've been buying weed for years on the black market and haven't been busted and it continuing to be illegal is definitely not going to stop me.

THIS, minus the 'dumb' comment. Leave your prejudice out of it.

People have the right to do wahtever they want to their own body, and the treasury has the ability to capitalise on it.

>>3817066
Are you fucking retarded? The price would drop like a fucking stone if it were made legal. The illegality creates a gigantic artificial price inflation on a virtually worthless plant. I say don't even bother taxing it like alcohol and just tax it like regular goods. People should be able to grow their own plants if they want to just like they can grow their own vegetable gardens.

Give me one good reason it shouldn't be a state monopoly.

What is Ron Paul's specific stance on abortion. Every rational person should oppose 3rd trimester abortions but how "pro-life" is he exactly? Are we talking about whether we should set the limit at 24 weeks or 20 weeks? Or is he a full-retard wingnut who wants to ban after-morning pills and thinks a 12 year old rape victim should have to go through with the pregnancy?

>>3817132
>hurr didnt read my post
yeah unless you are getting it from a grower in exchange for sexual favors at $40 an ounce its gonna be cheaper, the tard i was replying to wanted a government monopoly which would be fucking awful

the only problem with Ron Paul is that he loves God and Jesus and you heathens are going to hell.

>>3817149
Look that up yourself. As far as the law goes, he'd let the states decide what the law, if any should be. He wants the federal government out of abortion.

Why do you care anyway? Are you a woman?

>>3817148
I just gave you one: there is already a huge illegal infrastructure for weed, and government monopolies on consumer goods generally turn out pretty shitty, so a significant number of people would continue buying illicit weed who would probably buy legal weed that was high quality and cheap. This is aside from the fact that private companies being allowed to compete in a consumer good market are almost always vastly more efficient than state monopolies.

People just think owning a monopoly is more profitable because it seems intuitive if you don't think at all, if you have a government monopoly pulling in 5 billion dollars a year with 4.5 billion operating costs it is going to earn less money for the government than taxing the private industry for 2 billion dollars a year even if a billion still needs to be spent on enforcement.

Legalise it fags always shouting and protesting. They will never shut up.

Even if pot becomes legal, they will find some new way to annoy everyone.

I say keep it illegal, I get great pleasure from seeing the cops arresting annoying pot fags.

Your entire argument is bullshit. Tobacco is a state monopoly in my country, it nets the government a huge amount of money and nobody would even dream of buying it on the black market because the punishment for contraband is spending a very, very long time in jail.

does this really happen often enough to be an enjoyable activity for you?

As an atheist, I could care less what religion he believes in, what matters are his policies.

>>3817148
Because competition is good for the consumer.

>>3817188
PROTIP: nobody cares about the consumer, you retarded pothead. Want to smoke weed? You'd better be ready to pay through your nose for it.

Anyone who opposes legalisation of cannabis in this day and age must be a full retard. Especially for medical use, thats just a no brainer.

Tobacco is very different from weed because growing enough tobacco for a year's consumption involves a large outdoor area and an extremely long amount of time whereas growing a year's worth of weed takes half your basement and three or four months. Additionally, since nicotine isn't the same level of drug as thc, as well as the much longer grow times, the whole process of perfecting strains and growing methods to maximize cannabinoid content doesn't really happen with tobacco.

Besides, I can say with very high confidence that privatizing and taxing the tobacco industry would result in increased revenue for the government, cheaper products for consumers or both.

>Look that up yourself.
I have but all I can find is "hurr im pro-life, I voted on some irrelevent shit years ago".

I care because women care and you need to cover all your bases in politics.

>I don't like potheads, therefore pot should be expensive as shit.

>he thinks i smoke weed

I really don't now and I wouldn't with legalization or with a state monopoly, if legal prices were much higher than I can get now I'd simply keep buying illegally, which would probably still be cheaper since obviously possession would be legalized and trafficking would be easier.

u mad?

You can grow tobacco with hydroponics as well.

I don't like authoritarians. They are so loud and annoying. I think we should ban authoritarianism... just round up all authoritarians and throw them in jail so I don't have to listen to them whine. Let's do it just to spite them.

Doesn't make up for the differences in dose yield and growing time.
