He's against it.
well, our legislators are not the brightest bulbs in the packYou know why they call it "weed"? Of course you do. My point is that - I don't know what it's like where you are but where I am you can chuck a few seeds in the back yard, give them a bit of water (but don't get caught because you'll get a bigger fine for using water unlawfully than for growing dope! ) and bingo, your very own dope plants.
But guess what. Legislators have turned this weed into a magic crop. It has a value beyond that of anything else you can grow here. Check this out, a couple of days ago.
POLICE said a huge cannabis crop found at Virginia had a possible street value of $60 million.
Detectives and STAR Group officers swooped on the O'Loughlin Rd market garden this morning where they found about 4000 cannabis plants in five glasshouses.
The plants ranged in size from about 30cm to two metres in height and all were in healthy condition and were being fed by an elaborate watering system.
Superintendent Linda Fellows from the Drug Investigation Branch said, "it has been some time since we have had a crop of this size".

4000 weeds, big ones, but weeds, are worth $60 million dollars. Now, I ask you, are our legislators modern alchemists? They can turn weeds into plants worth millions of dollars.
I am impressed, I can tell you.
those with real smarts are smart enough not to go into politics
sorry, i disagree with using a product that causes those kinds of problem to FUND the very problems it causesThe problem is more when their is no war against drugs, then the power of druglords becomes so great that they begin to control countries. As a result you will create a failed state that is bought by druglords with the big amounts of money that they earn.
We can destroy the power of the drug lords by destroying the market for their drugs right here in America. Legalize drugs under the control of the government just as we do with alcohol and tobacco, and use some of the tax money we collect on them to help people who develop drug problems. The drugs sold would be safer and much of the criminal culture that depends on drug sales will disappear just as the criminal culture that was sustained by Prohibition largely disappeared with the end of Prohibition. Legal corporations would buy the ingredients directly from third world farmers, pretty much ending the loyalty these people feel for the drug lords now, and the illicit sale of drugs would no longer be a source of revenue rebel groups.
Everyone wins but the criminals.

that's the tragedy of it.
doesnt "adults, and consetual" cover that?
Did you change your mind in the last two weeks?
and as for prostitution, as long as its all adults, and consentual, who gives a rats ass what they do
I agree somewhat I will state for the record. However, the problem with prostitution is that it's not always adults and not always consentual.
Not too old reports show that the average age of entry into Prostitution is 13, prevalence of incest among prostitutes range from 65 to 90%, most studies show about 65% to 80%+ of Prostitutes raped at some point.
Having said that; make the age that women can be Prostitutes 18 and decriminalize it while still making pimps and brothels illegal and I'll be fine with it.
That, and anyone shown to be human trafficking either women or children into prostitute be given life sentences.

works for me.

i think it is morally wrong to tax something while you are also spending money to keep people from usingworks for me.
See Elvis, we can eventually agree when we both decide to sit down and discuss.
Though I don't think we should tax Prostitution if and when we do everything I stated. It just feels wrong.
Though I would tax the Recreational Drugs, the amount of revenue that would bring in would easily help the faltering economy at the moment.
Especially since Marijuana is the #1 Cash Crop in the U.S.
i disagree
i think it should be a death penalty offense
they remove basic human rights from others
fuck em
i think it is morally wrong to tax something while you are also spending money to keep people from using
same thing with the subsidies for tobacco
all that should end
i disagree

I assume you're referring to my post. The Death Penalty sadly is really not a deterrent. Though I do feel that we should kill the fuckers, don't get me wrong. It wouldn't really solve anything except more holes to dig and fill.
doesnt "adults, and consetual" cover that?
Pretty much yes, however. There is a reason why rape is one of the hardest laws in the country to convict, either more difficult then rape. That reason being unless there is physical evidence then it's difficult to prove whether or not the woman is telling the truth.
Doesn't help that alot of women falsely accuse guys of rape for various reasons.
Put them in jail. Make sure then general population knows that they were in for trafficking sex slaves. Let the prisoners handle it.
because you are using profits from the sale of the item you are trying to stop people from usingi think it is morally wrong to tax something while you are also spending money to keep people from using
same thing with the subsidies for tobacco
all that should end
Why?
really???i disagree
i think it should be a death penalty offense
