    Think about it...

    With the tax earned from tourism and marijuana sales, we could fund our current ****ty health system and transform it, using the French model, into one of the best in the world...

    We could also use the tax money to research new vaccines, medicines, medical education, treatments, equipment etc....Well, thats a poetic note - and I can dream cant I...

    Really? So even though the French pay around 40% in basic tax to help support their health system, by just decriminalising marijuana, we could generate the same amount of income.

    Ok.:rolleyes:

    Another week, another thread about the legalization of marijuana. Is there anyway any thread with marijuana or cannabis in the title can get automatically merged with all the other threads? Someone write some code. I'll only end up crashing all the internets.

    Usually, Id agree but most other threads are intended for a different discussion. It could do our health service wonders.
