Oh, so is the war on crime a state-wide or federal war on poverty?
Pot being illegal doesn't revolve around poverty. I know plenty of rich stoners who have been arrested for pot, so it's not about a war on poverty. Marijuana was made illegal because it became too hard for the government to regulate waaay back in the 20's. But nowadays, there are so many people in jail or prison for possession of marijuana, it costs local governments too much money, which is why certain cities, like Lawrence (which is filled with about 20,000 tokers) have decided that it simply isn't worth the money to put all these people in jail and through the system, so they issue them a citation instead, thus they still get money, but don't have to spend any.
That's awfully presumptuous. Some restaurants exceed health standards and offer great service and food, some have rats in the kitchen and are more concerned with shoving you out the door than satisfying your pallet. I doubt that every pot distributor would offer great products, greed+cost effectiveness would come into play, but I'm sure there'd be some good sticky sold.
Come on man, we're talking about weed here. You can't be telling me that there wouldn't be stoners out there, who already know how to grow some dank ass bud, that wouldn't want to profit on this? Sure, there would be some bad pot, just like there is Viaka at a liquor store. But then there'd be some Stoned RhinoXDouble Skunk, just like there's Grey Goose at the liquor store. I know i would grow some bomb ass shit, and make a fortune off of it. But sadly, this won't happen.
Maybe I'm biased against my home country, but I believe that the backwards/behind the times attitudes, arrogance, and obssessive political correctess yet tolerance of discrimination all combined are unique facets of America.
ya, you seem like you hate our country
