Probably ATF or FDA. They have experience regulating tobacco and I don't see things being much different with marijuana. Quote:
Remain constant I would expect. I don't see any reason why this would change. If it is just marijuana legalized I would expect nothing to change since marijuana isn't supposed to be addictive. I see a bunch of tax revenue being collected on its sale. It might even be enough to cover the inevitable growth in government they will claim is necessary to regulate the distribution, sale, and revenue collection involved for legalization. |

Thanks for your input. I think you must be looking for the pot growing thread. http://www.twowheelfix.com/showthread.php?t=15131

It will start to be used as a pain killer more than now, pharm companies will loose some money, but not much Addiction would fall as the legalized pot becomes much more readily available. Personally the only times I have ever tried anything harder than weed is because weed wasn't available The gov would tax the crap out of it making a pack of joints cost $50, with $40 of that going to taxes. It would pay for the cost of regulating it by itself. in addition you would loose all the costs associated with the war on drugs (weed only), plus the costs of incarcerating people, and whatever medical cost benefits that can be attributed to it too. Plus the additional tax revenue from all the doritos that would be sold

I don't think there's any reason not to legalize it except the government being unwilling to admit their ridiculous error. I don't think legalization would have much of an effect on society at large. Not sure what the effect would be on specialized jobs like cops, firefighters and the military. Right now we can't drink 8 hours prior to duty, they'd have to come up with a time frame for pot or not let us smoke. And it would for sure save the government money at the least, if it didn't put a huge amount of money back into our coffers. If managed correctly something like this could really help knock down the deficit. Of course, that's assuming the government can manage anything right.

Bullshit on all accounts. Military personnel are notorious for getting fucked up.

2. The private sector and the consumer 3. I guess you mean like Lortabs, Zanax, etc. No restrictions. 4. Don't know and it isn't my business. 5. If you become addicted to smack then you can die in the gutter. 6. I see all benefits. - We get police away from wasting time, money, and men on vice crimes and get them fighting real crimes. - The billion dollar drug industry is taken out of the hands of thugs and rednecks and put into the hands of Harvard MBAs and MIT chemists. - Drug addicts and TWFix users quit bugging Tommymac for drugs and taking up hospital space for people who are really sick and really do need drugs. Only downside. You'll have to talk to your own damn kids about drugs and actually act like a parent.
