Yes sir, saw it on CNN today. With only one million votes the president will decide if legalization will happen. Call 973-409-3274. No im not joking, the automated voice message will ask you to push # to make your vote official. Well see what happens!
 


Legalized weed = taxed. Increasing prices 10 fold.

What would this solve?

And for the record, i did not call your dumb number.

^Basic economic logic, fail.

Even a ridiculous amount of "sin" taxation wouldn't equal, much less exceed, the percentage of current market prices created by the legal climate.

Obvious example from history:
Booze was expensive as fuck during prohibition.

FYI: What people consider our "drug problem" isn't actually a drug problem. The crime, corruption, and destructiveness of addiction is all directly tied to the costs of drugs being grossly inflated by counterproductive laws.

Oh yeah, that phone number is just a BS poll that has wrongly been connected to Change.org, Obama, etc...
 
Ok i agree 10 fold may be a stretch, but to say prices would remain the same, is hilarious. Compare it to cigarettes and how much they are "taxed"

Depends if they allowed people to grow it for personal use(and they should). Any idiot could grow weed in their house. It's literally a weed. Tobacco on the other hand is hard to grow.
 
Right that's where it will be interesting i would say. Are their still going to be "dealers" or is it going to be government mandated?

If a magic switch were flipped and everything was legal tomorrow, prices would be higher for a bit. It would take some time for supply businesses to spring up and established companies to add dope to their product lines.

Once things were rolling on the supply end, pot would be cheaper than cigarettes (pre-tax ass rape). Why? Pot is a MUCH easier / cheaper crop to grow and harvest. I doubt even the hardest tax ass fucking would bring those prices above current street prices.

/coke would be insanely cheap.
 
Anyone who says prices would increase is an absolute moron...or at least too lazy to put in the proper research. The blackmarket has a tendency to artificially inflate prices on all goods that pass through it. The legality of anything greatly reduces the supply, while rarely effecting the demand to the same extent. Take a look at street prices for opiate like pharms compared to the cost per pill with a valid subscription..with our without insurance..
 
As long as it keeps the sheriff's department out of my basement, I don't care if the price goes up 2 billion fold.

An old high school friend of mine it turns out was arrested last year for growing weed in his basement. As it turns out, the lighting setup he needed used so much juice, being on 24/7, the local police saw spikes in the household electricity, which they apparently monitor on all of us. This is what I was told, but I still don't believe this was the cause - anybody ever hear of anything so silly?

totally - that's why some ops will tap in to power at the line to distribute the load as to not raise suspicion.
