LOL. And the guv would distribute the drugs cheaper and better? Look at Tobacco. With all the taxes and regulations on it cigarette smuggling is still a huge business.

Druggies better hope the drugs aren’t legalized. The prices will go way up.

Not if the people obtain and retain the right to grow their own herb. That will keep the price down. And it's insane to possess one right without the other. Either you retain the right to grow and smoke this plant, or you don't. At best it should be a local zoning issue.

History proves you wrong.

During Prohibition, booze was insanely expensive and now look how cheap it is.

That is because the sheeple are okay with persecuting one group, as long as it is not their own.

Government should never have the kind of power to be able to control behavior based on whatever incentive they deem appropriate. That is the point that so many who are okay with the cigarette taxes fail to see.

If it is okay for the government to go after one activity, they will eventually come after yours, too.

I'm not in favor of that at all. Pot is an herb that is easily grown, like all other herbs that GOD put on this earth. They each have culinary and medicinal value. I don't need to go to a tobacco/pot shop to get it, I can grow it myself. I'm not for feeding the fat, bloated beastly government any more - they need to be put on a severe diet as it is.

Government's addiction is OUR money. They need intervention NOW.

Tobacco is ridiculously cheap. Even with all the taxes it is $3-7 an ounce.

Pot is around $200-400 an ounce.
