Valid retort dub. You forgot to mention the cops will still make loot off of the pipes in peoples cars, regulating age of users all those underage (undr 18 or 21 not decided) will still be charged the same way as prior to this would be in tact(underagers are probably 50% of the mj users). And other drugs are still illegal?

I understand the money wouldn't be going to the same places, that is capitalism. New idea, the revenue flow changes. So you want the people who are getting the money right now to keep getting the same money. Get out of this board, dude. Really. You support those who are banking off drugs being illegal. This is a drug board, get out dub-style. Or maybe you don't understand the premiss of how the police would still be used? Didn't actually think into what I said? Then why did you post? Also I already stated more employment, and alternate hemp fuels and products. I think it would far over balance whats going on right now. Cops still are useful and can hassle kids, search cars, dea can still make drug busts to those who don't have the permits to have the baggage they might be carrying. It'd all be a better reality.

Instead of the police force worrying about pot, they'd be doing real damage to the heavy drugs.

Yeah the government wouldn't 100% want this, but it's more comprimisable and realistic then "pot is free for everyone and legal, the end."

YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO kiddo.Everyone I know supports legalization or at minimal decriminilaztion. However getting people motivated to incriminate themselves? I was about to send a letter from norml but you knwo all those people just delete them. Politicians lie to get into their power then do what they want. It's been like this since America was founded... Wanna hear something else funny? I sent a e-mail to even norml, no response no consideration. For all I know their just some adults who looked at demographics and want their chunk of $$ too. Just like Al Gore did for the environment and no writes checks to himself and is a multimillionaire off of a movie that held minor fact, and the media he attracted from his prior election.

I am not the government. I have to be 35 and mad ties to become the president. I need the hook and a law degree to become a senator. You want in the supreme court? Wait tell one of them dies, and their gonna give it to the dude with more ties. Our government is the old and dieing. We won't be the government until our kids grow up raised by our ideals and are in a wealthy position for the education and power to make a difference. I love the wishful thinking but the government is impeccable to change and praises tradition because it is easier.

PS I have been to peace rallys and other such things I don't sit on the sidelines. I just don't have faith in the government.
