An Idea Of why Marijauana Is Illegal

[Warhead5654]

I Was Playing Sim city 4, fixing My budget By Adjusting taxes, Then i realized, The biggest reason why Marijauna will always be illegal.

Taxation.... alcohol used to be illegal until the Goverment found out ways to control the alcohol market by taxing it off. If you want my opinion, this just kills free trade.

NOW, You can buy ILLEGAL Alcohol (bootleg,home-made) from any source that sells it; The reason this alcohol is illegal because the Goverment Can't Make Tax dollars Off Of Private Sales.

The Same Applies To cigarettes.

this Means The Goverment Is Going to be Open to whatever Makes Them Prosperus ( think of Those Tax Dollars When You Walk in a Crowded Beer Store).

Marijauana will never be taxed because it Can't Be contained, Or controlled. The goverment wants it so they have power to all the plants, meaning they get all the tax dollars, but that will prove to be too big a challenge because there is already so many plants out there, and the plant only takes 2 months to grow! They Naturally Reporduce Just Like weeds do, Where do you think the name comes from? Back then there used to be forests of weed plants.

If we can solve This Problem, we have leaped a Mile On the cannibis War.


Marijauan has been given a bad name over the 100 years of attempted Extermionation. People Are Automatically Going to Shrug off Weed as a Bad thing because it's Labelled as an illegal drug. If You are open to both the negative and positive facts, you realize alot!

Drugs are bad. M'kay?

Sure it can, can't it? If growing, manufacturing, and selling marijuana were all legal things to do, don't you think companies would start doing it? I bet you could buy Phillip Morris or Newport brand marijuana in stores. And then the state could tax the transactions.

Of course, plenty people will still choose to grow their own, but then again, some people grow their own vegetables in their gardens at home.

That goes back ot the grow time, in the time it would take for a company to set-up for legal amrijuana transactions, millions of pot farmers will be selling dope illictly.

Large scale pot farmers would probably make more money selling to companies rather than individuals. I'm talking sprawling multi-acre agricultural operations, not just backyard stuff.

This theory is also advanced in the book Reefer Madness by Eric Schlosser. I.e., marihuana grows as a weed in all fifty states, so noone can make money off it. There's no money in legal marihuana, but there is money in products that compete with it (and in fighting it), and Washington runs on money. Remember also that the "Partnership for a Drug-Free America" receives millions of dollars from the alcohol and tobacco industries.

I see the point your trying to make about marijuana, but I can't figure out what point you're trying to make my randomly capitalizing letters in the middle of your sentences.

I just find it really hard to believe that marijuana couldn't be commodified, especially considering the demand.

[Warhead5654]

now pot dealers to companies is a great idea, but the Goverment is going to want their own harvesting Station just so they can make Some profits.

smoking cigarettes is illegal if unregulated.

Well the government would get money from the sales tax.

Don't worry, it sounds alright.

after this issue gets corrected, we need to clear it's bad name, by understanding ALL the facts, most goverment controlled research methods are biased and unorthidox.


throwiong in some facts:

Spoiler :

'During transpiration, the growing hemp plants “breathe in” CO2 (carbon dioxide) to build cell structure; the leftover oxygen is breathed out, replenishing Earth’s air supply. Then when the carbon rich hemp biomass is burned for energy the CO2 is released back into the air. The CO2 cycle comes close to ecological balance when the new fuel crop is grown the next year. Growing trees keeps 10 times the carbon dioxide in the Earth by keeping the infrastructure of the microbes, insects, plants, fungi, etc. alive for each tree. The older and bigger the tree, the more carbon dioxide is kept out of the atmosphere.' we pop in mass-produced acres of this and we shouldn't have to worry about oxygen.

The average height of a mature cannabis plant was between 270 cm and 350 cm (8.6 - 11.5 feet) Thats almost a small tree!

'In 1916, USDA Bulletin No. 404 reported that one acre of cannabis hemp, in annual rotation over a 20-year period, would produce as much pulp for paper as 4.1 acres of trees being cut down over the same 20-year period. This process would use only 1/7 to 1/4 as much polluting sulfur-based acid chemicals to break down the glue-like lignin that binds the fibers of the pulp, or even none at all using soda ash. All this lignin must be broken down to make pulp. Hemp pulp is only 4-10% lignin, while trees are 18-30% lignin. The problem of dioxin contamination of rivers is avoided in the hemp papermaking process, which does not need to use chlorine bleach (as the wood pulp papermaking process requires), but instead substitutes safer hydrogen peroxide in the bleaching process.'

Don't forget special 'sin' taxes.

 

[Warhead5654]

[carmen510]

Sin taxes are commonly taxes levied upon so-called 'immoral' goods, such as alcohol tax, tobacco tax, prostitution tax, etc.

 

[negZero]

The tax on stuff that isn't in the Bible also sometimes called the fun tax.

 

[Warhead5654]

sin taxes build up the global economy
