No wonder so many Americans fall for the most ridiculous nonsense such as human caused global warming or 9/11 conspiracy theories.

Imagine if it was taxed like tobacco.
Probably $100 Bil in tax revenue.

Where they will graduate with a whole new set of connections for other, harder drugs. Sending a kid to rehab for pot is like demanding they meet more drug users and find out about harder drugs.

Can you imagine if it was actually legal to grow marijuana? Each field would need to be surrounded by a 10 foot razor wire fence. It'd be as if beer grew on trees.

"He said more American teens were in treatment centers for marijuana dependency than for all other drugs combined." Oh please.
And what % of those in "treatment" are there as a result of a court order? Probably close to 100 ...
LEGALIZE IT ALREADY!

I imagine if marijuana were legalized, the price per pound would plummet, which could significantly reduce the $35B figure.
Just an observation.
To: kddid
I thought most of the grass was imported because the U.S. grown wild variety doesn't produce enough of the whoopie on its own.
In other words, perhaps the author of the study was a little toked up when he knocked it out.
