Cannabis Legalization

Edited on Sun Sep-30-07 06:36 AM by SHRED
I favor marijuana legalization for individuals over 18 to be able to grow, transport, sell, and barter a certain amount.
No driving while intoxicated.
Develop a test for real-time intoxication rather than the inaccurate urine testing done now which only tells if you have used it in the past.

I tend toward more of the Dutch model for legalization.
If this happened the price would plummet and eliminate the need for commercialized, advertised, corporate farming. Of which I am really not in favor.

Plus I think if we did not allow commercialization then it would be easier to get it legalized.
Many straight people fear it being sold to children "at the local convenience store".

As far as industrial hemp goes I favor full and complete legalization immediately.
Industrial hemp is where the large tax revenues will come from to satisfy the governmental needs.
Plus the tax dollars saved by not incarcerating people through our justice systems and prison systems would be enormous.

The above model (or slight variation), I believe, would be the most reasonable in convincing any doubters.
I don't think we need any commercials on TV.
Just give the plant back to the people.
