Because you can't pick up hot girls in an Explorer full of kids. A Ferrari or a Porsche, however...
I won't argue with you about it because, while highly intelligent, you lack the basic ability to understand any viewpoint that isn't your own.
Probably had a better power/weight ratio.
They've begun taxing the legal sales of Cannabis here. I am predicting that after the nation sees how much they can profit, they'll follow suit. So, they might smell bad, but they can be 'saving' the world by just buying reefer.
First of all, people smoking makes up a miniscule insignificant portion of total air pollution. Second, how many actual traffic accidents/deaths are caused by marijuana compared to alcohol? DUI's in total are the deadliest problem, but stoned drivers make up a minimal amount of these statistics. Personally, being stoned did not impair my ability to operate a vehicle in the slightest. I know this does't apply to everyone.Yet you would be polluting the atmosphere further and contributing to the current health crisis in America. Deaths by incidence of DUI would also increase, along with the associated cost of enforcing these dangerous motorists. Remember DUI is the single deadliest problem on the roads today, statistically speaking.
I highly doubt that people will all of a sudden begin to use marijuana just because it is legalized. If they weren't doing it before, they won't be doing it just because it's legal.Couple in the fact that marijuana generally makes people lethargic and we've just added to the health crisis and the already broken and beaten health care system.
We've just enabled a country filled with already generally lazy people, who lack the drive and determination of other countries, to further wallow in its self pity and continue down a downward spiral.
You can't legislate peoples work ethic. People who take advantage of America's socialist programs are a product of their environment. It's not the drugs that make them drop out of high school, go on welfare, and medicare/medicaid, it is the fact that these programs are so easily abused that makes people not see the need to work hard. Smoking pot is not why these worthless wastes of life are wasting their lives, it's the socialist ideologies that pervade our culture.Our education system is in shambles compared to international students. Lets be honest, the Asian child's work ethic is generally much different than the American child's regardless of whether the Asian child is foreign born or living here in the United States. You don't see so many burned out Asians out there as you do in other walks of American life. With the resources we have available, Americans should be leading the world in education and producing the best students, yet somehow we take for granted the institutions we have and just let our potential wither away. Its easier to sit on the computer or sit on the couch and watch TV all day, cramming down junk food, rather than cramming down literature and furthering your education.
I fully agree that big tobacco should not even be allowed to involve themselves in this industry. It should be a network of small locally owned growers with a limit on annual production.Also, if you have the tobacco industry grow marijuana, you're giving money to an industry that has proven time and time again, that it does not have the people's best interest in mind. That would be as catastrophic as handling the oil industry a new stranglehold on an in demand product.
Once again, I don't think that legalizing it will make this problem worse than it already is. It's easier for High School kids to get weed than alcohol. To be honest, stoned teenagers cause a fraction of the problems that drunk teenagers cause.Many people fail to see the negative repercussions and only see the positive.
An age limit and a quantity limit would be a start to controlling the problem, although as we see with cigarettes and alcohol, if we enable anyone to buy the substances, they'll still get into the hands of younger people who are impressionable and don't know any better.
Also Darkhand....LOL. The revenue generated from legalizing marijuana would no where near fill those billion dollar deficits that you're speaking of in your post.
Everyone talks about social security and how its going to run out in 30-40years when the sad fact is long term health care in American is forty times more under funded than social security. Thats not even looking at the health system as a whole.
