[Independent thinker]

Not. I always hear lefties say we need to legalize drugs to eliminate the black market. But, apparently, they are wrong about that. Who would have ever guessed?

Well legalized weed shops are not exactly as cheap as the streets.

Legalize and tax makes it more expensive....I tried 'splaining this to the potheads back in the day, but tha maths is hard for them.

Anybody seen Walter White lately?

Sounds to me like the skreet kush is the way to go. That fentanyl really gives you a bang for the buck.

 

[DudleySmith]

The shit is contaminated with all kinds of crap, literally crap in some cases, as well as e coli, salmonella, and other nasty stuff.

 

[Natural Citizen]

The weed these days is too potent.

That stuff will make you plum stupid.

 

[BackAgain]

Wait. We don’t have a black market in moonshine and cigarettes?

 

[Polishprince]

Hardly.


It just changes the business of dealing grass. Instead of importing it from Mexico or Jamaica, its more of a matter of counterfeiting tax stamps and selling bricks of legal grass that fall off of trucks. Different skills are needed to be a successful pusher than in the past.

Nothing really new about that. Other forms of vice have seen similar transitions. Pimping used to be done right on the streets, with the pimp giving instruction to his hoes and bitches. Now its done online on Craig's List.

Plus we need the feds to make these drug laws so we don't all go out tomorrow and take a bunch of drugs.

Between the taxes, regulations and requirements .. is it really worth growing it legally? State licenses, background checks, local permits, labeling / packaging, security requirements, environmental regulations ..

I don't think they have been having good experience with legalizing hard drugs in Oregon, either.

Some Dem in California smoked a joint, then stabbed her boyfriend 117 times...got off scott free they blamed the weed.

Really? Maybe you should look to history and alcohol, moron.

Yes, it is very profitable.
