The REAL reason why maryjane is illegal!

[Marymama]

It's easy to grow all types of stuff, people are still lazy asses who would rather go buy it from Walmart and pay the taxes.

Not to mention Americans are impulsive and want their shit now, not everyone is going to want to bother with growing it.

PLUS, many, many respectable adults don't smoke simply because it is not legal. They won't risk their jobs, their families, what not over something illegal. If made legal, much more people would be smoking.

The government buys it from a grower, slaps a tax on it and you buy it in Walmart. Sure, some people will grow their own, but plenty of people would rather buy it.

I really think laws will change once we get the reefer madness generation out of public office.

In this day of age with all the rising prices and such, I would think you would want to grow something anyways because people don't go out as much because of all the gas prices and such. They should stay home and grow something so they're saving money in two ways. Gas and *whatever your buying*

Yes more people would smoke but what would be negative.
More white castle profits and such. Have you ever seen anyone on cops baked and see them violent. People would come to understand weed as something positive.

Well if its illegal why in the hell would anyone give it to the government if they've gone out of their way trying to hide it from them and the trouble the government has given them. People who grow hate the government you know.

I know, personally I might grow a few plants for myself if it were legal. But much the same as I might grow a few vegatable plants. Because home grown veggies are awesome. BUT, I still buy 90% of my veggies from the grocery store. I bet I would still buy most of my weed from a store where it would be taxed.

I'm not saying anything negative, I would love to see it legal.

[Marymama]

Come on dude, I am talking about if it were made legal, that's how you would tax it. You would tax it the same as you would tax anything else.

Everyone always says people would just grow it, and it may be true for some, but many more people would be buying it.

Well yeah of course it would be easier going to buy it. But you just proved im right( i think)
How would the government tax it if it was illegal. They couldnt. They would make it legal if they COULD TAX IT. Hence stated its illegal because it can't be taxed.
Now trying to bitch you out or anything but seriously.

Sorry if im going off topic but you guys are saying they'd tax it. Okay say they could.
The only way they could tax it is if it were legal. Why i made this thread. If they could make money off of it they would make it legal, no doubt

[Marymama]

Ok, I see what you are saying, but really it makes no sense because OFCOURSE they could tax it if it were legal.

Obvioulsy they can not tax it being illegal.

But I don't think that's why bud is illegal.

Let me get this straight you are saying MJ is ILLEGAL because you can't tax it??

Ignorance is why it's still illegal.

They're far too closed minded, once they're set on something, it doesn't change till they die.

Yes i am saying that.

BUT, why are ciggarettes legal. Because its a billion dollar business for the government. They only care about money. The government doesent care about more people smoking and negatives from it because look at alcohol and car accidents and people being fucking idiots in public.

[Marymama]

Dude, OP you made my head hurt, LOL

I read your OP and I do not get what you are trying to say. Weed is illegal because they can't tax it?? Ofcourse they could tax it. It's not legal because there are a bunch of old fat white dudes running the show, and nothing, NOTHING is going to change in this country untill they are finally dead and new blood is in office.

If you say that, then what about the alcohol prohabition.
They wanted to make it illegal. Did they? Fuck no they didn't. It changed.
