Make it illegal! It'll frick up the profit margins for the lumber, oil, clothing, and pharmaceutical industries!
Does this surprise you?

So having resin on a pipe is worse than having actual weed as far as possible ramifications in Mississippi?

Also, if the Religious Right/elderly rectionaries would stop castrating the Republican party, maybe STATES RIGHTS would actually be something that they would be able to openly support instead of promising to march an army on states that have decided to legalize the substance.
They say the GOP has lost touch with its conservativism and small government beliefs, and this issue is a perfect example of where the GOP is absurdly anti-State's Rights, anti-small government, and anti-personal liberty.

Supporters in the South have always approached the issue from the wrong direction. Instead of legalizing/decriminalizing because it makes sense, the state's rights approach of "Obama/DC says we can't legalize" would have been more effective.

I always want to punch the idiots in the face who say but if we legalized marijuana everyone would be high all the time. You can't just have everyone high all the time at their jobs.
As if everyone in the country is walking around drunk right now.

I noticed all the lumber, fiber, textile, oil, clothing plants opening up in Colorado.

It'll probably be another generation or two before we can finally accept and implement it..too many staunch old republicans breeding ignorants. As usual, education and expanding their knowledge base is the only thing standing between these people and a logical decision.

Some people that have never had the pleasure are incapable of seeing it as being better than booze. They build it up to be some great evil, when in reality it's less negative than a few beers.

Your sarcasm is noted, but the crop used for textiles is a different plant than the one used for recreation. Thanks for playing.

It's not taboo in the South for the most part, our local governments just continue to dupe our older, doddering citizens and the evangelizing idiots into believing weed is the debil in order to give their respective law enforcement organizations a justification for their constantly ballooning budgets and overreach of powers.

The police unions are indeed an outspoken opponent to the end of prohibition, as indeed they were during alcohol prohibition. What needs to happen is that a portion of tax revenue from legal sales go towards police departments or pensions. It is a compromise that I don't like, but sometimes you have to grease the wheels to get things moving.

shite, looking at the retail prices in Colorado, it could still end up being cheaper even with crazy taxes on it.

It takes time but people are investing in industrial hemp in CO.

Are you being facetious?

Street prices where I live is ~$20 per gram, while retail in Colorado was ~$10 per gram at the dispensary I visited.

No. Why would I be? That's what they did in Colorado.
Posted on 2/5/16 at 8:07 am to X
Agreed with that. Hah.
