Will they ever legalize marijuana and tax it?

    I'm sick of this place. You would think they would get some cop on and just legalize the bleeding plant. They're selling alcohol and cigarettes which is twice as worse FACT.

    Very apt thoughts from a freemason.

    Are you aware that typing "FACT" at the end of the sentence does not make it so? Even if it's capitalised or bolded.

    But personally I think it should be legalised... Though it won't be any time soon.

    It's illegal, but any earnings from it are still taxable. Panic over OP.

    Marijuana has repeatedly been proven to NOT cause cancer, heart disease, brain damage, liver disease, emphysema, or any other significant health issue, and its addiction potential is about on par with coffee. In all respects, marijuana is far safer than beer and wine and should, at the very least, be controlled by exactly the same laws that we use for alcohol.

    Our current marijuana prohibition empowers drug dealers and the Mexican drug cartels by preventing any form of legal competition to their activities. Instead of protecting children from marijuana, these laws create an environment of zero legal supply amidst massive and unrelenting demand and effectively serve to make our children LESS safe. It is *because* of the failings of the prohibition that our children now have easier access to marijuana than to alcohol! Our communities need legal adult marijuana sales for exactly the same reason that they need legal alcohol and tobacco sales - to keep unscrupulous black-market criminals away from our neighborhoods and our children.

    Parents work hard to keep drugs away from their children and they need effective, logic-based laws to help them with this. In order to greatly improve the safety of our children we need legal adult marijuana sales in gas stations and supermarkets at prices too low for drug dealers to match - just as beer and wine are sold today.

    Sorry op but this has been done to the absolute death recently. I'm 101% sure that of you type weed or marijuana or even Ming Flanagan into the search box a thread from the last few weeks will come up.
