Just do the math! Liquor stores and tobacco shops could charge $65. for a pack of 20 pot cigarettes and the tax to the state coffers could be roughly $64, each pack. What other product would have such a dramatic stimulus effect? Wellll of course cocaine and meth would be big sellers, but those drugs have such a terrible consequense to our citizens, that no one could support such an attack on our health and welfare. But legal pot would have an immediate positive effect on law enforcement problems, and stop overcrowding in our jails and prisons.
Another very important benifit would be the shake up in the Mexican dope dealers business. Pot smokers are often forced to turn to these criminals to buy their pot, and do not turn in their dealer (even tho pot smokers often hate the fact that thier supplier deals in meth and crack) because they dont want to lose their MJ supply. I do believe that if they could buy a pack of pot cigaretts at the local liquor store, they would turn in the meth and coke dealers en masse, thus solving a huge problem both here in the US and across the Rio in Mexico.
Those folks that use pot to deal with their chronic pain and nausea, would be happy to have a safe way to get thier medicine, and folks that like to light up a joint and watch the Simpsons after a depressing day at their dwindling job, would be of good cheer.
I often smoked pot as a younger person, and I can tell you, it did me no harm, and helped me alot with my chronic migranes. Even tho I eventually developed an allergy to the weed and can no longer indulge, I think that the currant policy toward pot is a curse that should be ended.Far too many people have done time in jail and prison needlessly.
I do believe that like liquor, pot should be limited to those over 21 and should not be used by pregnant women or those who suffer from asthma and other respritory problems.
