$500 per pound...

Anyone know of people smuggling in corn, cabbage, or parsley? What a beautiful profit the WOD has created for those willing to take a risk. Is it any wonder that so many people kill to protect drug turf? Don't forget all of the adicts who rob and murder to get this over priced crap. Ain't the WOD wonderful?

My sentiments exactly. And at the risk of being flamed by FReepers (or worse), this "War On Drugs" has gone absolutely nowhere. Accomplished absolutely nothing. Drugs are still as prevelant as they were in the 60's and 70's and perhaps even more so now, since the smugglers and producers and marketers are far more organized now than they ever have been in the past.

Hard drugs aside, there is no point in continuing the prohibition on the production, distribution, and use of Marijuana. I say: legalize it, allow legitimate marketing of it, then TAX the SMITHEREENS out of the distributors of the product!!! Just like is being done with tobacco and alcohol currently, and in some pervese twist, as formerly illegal gambling has now become a cash cow for the States (Lottery, Casinos, ect)

A Modest Proposal, perhaps ... but the current state of affairs ain't working out so well (a WOD 'quagmire'?), so why not just make the stuff legal and then government regulate and tax the s**t out of it!

Sad but true. Prohibition creates massive profits for those willing to take the risks.

And there will always be people willing to take the risks.

How many cigarettes would this make? I don't think a stash that big was meant for direct-to-consumer sales.

Yeah, what a shame.

We'd be much better off if marijuana was legal and $5 per pound. More kids could then afford it.

Parents and employers have been pushing for cheap and easy-to-get marijuana for decades. I'm sure you've read about that.

Decent pot is worth 5 times that wholesale.
