barjor Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 and why wasn't I told about this? ABC News Quote
Stonehead Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 Why doesn't the government deal with marijuana in a rational way? Legalize and regulate it for tax purposes and employment. Could you imagine the employment gain through a quasi-amnesty type arrangement? All the people living on the boundary of the law could be brought in and gainfully employed. Organized crime would be dealt a blow and the government authorities and law enforcement could concentrate on the scourge of methamphetamine. Â Congress needs to get its ass out of the pork barrel and address this issue since the Supreme Court has thrown the issue back to our representatives. I know this sounds like easy answers but maybe we should consider viable alternatives to dealing with the issue. Quote
selkirk Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 Not to mention the potential for sin-tax revenues! Just sell it at the already existing and controlled state liquor stores. Quote
foraker Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 a) legalize all drugs b) don't treat people for recreational drug overdoses when they show up in the ER unless they've made prior arrangements to pay all expenses or another party offers to do so c) wait until evolution works its magic Quote

foraker Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 don't forget ladders and lawn mowers. ;-) Quote
Winter Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 Word is that the legislature in Oregon this year was pretty happy to have some extra revenue from the medical marijuana program, so hopefully they'll become addicted to the money. Quote

knotzen Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 But I just grow it to feed it to my bird. The one on the left--that's what makes it fly. Honest. Quote
