Since that's what happened with alcohol, yes I would say so.

Excuse me ,but that is apples and oranges. Do you want a good whiskey or some moonshine, or do you want a cheap weed( government) or the good stuff. (illegal) .

What is wrong with the smell of weed?

Terrible to some people.But anyways after the next election the adults will still be leading the country.

Prostitution and Marijuana should be legalized and taxed. Some people need to realize that it happens so legalize and keep people safe. Making it illegal will not make it go away.

The government sucked at growing weed, it's true. But the private licensed growers have developed good strains for medical use.

Cite ? (I'm serious here, and curious too. The government isn't good at services... could they be good at farming really ?)

No they weren't.

That's why they switched to licensing private growers.

I didn't realize the government manufactured all our booze.

Does pot help with depression cause I'm sure there are a lot of depressed people out there.

It can. But I chalk depression up to not being happy in whatever situation it is making you unhappy. Long hours at a crap job you don't like can cause depression. Bad relationship can cause depression. I think it's all situational personally.

It does help me sleep, being slight insomniac my whole life, but I am tired because of the lack of sleep. For the past decade or so, my sleeping has been great. Get's rid of headaches to some degree. Stops pains and aches in the body as it can act as a painkiller.

If our war mongering politicians smoked one or two, they might not be so willing to go to war.

You've got several assumptions in there we have no reason to assume are true. I'm sure those exact same assumptions were made prior to the end of prohibition, but it didn't turn out that way.

You can't make great whiskey like a whiskey maker ,but you can grow weed as good as anybody and I have over 40yrs experience. So don't tell me I do not know what is going on.

Depression is a chemical imbalance within the brain - cause unknown. The THC in marijuana has proven to help immensely with none of the side effects of other prescribed drugs.

Long term usage of cannabis is great as long as you don't mind a shrunken brain....that is..."gray matter volume reduction in the medial temporal cortex, temporal pole, parahippocampal gyrus, insula, and orbitofrontal cortex; these regions are rich in cannabinoid CB1 receptors and functionally associated with motivational, emotional, and affective processing."

Economics trumps Virtue.

This is true. Well the only real side effect is having an appetite. :D

Because alcohol does great stuff for people.

Nobody knows what's going on, since it's not going on yet. We will never know until it's legalized. During prohibition, there were no amazing formal whiskey production facilities. Now it's legal and there are.

You really think legalization is going to stop illegal sales. What have you been smoking.

It wont stop it but theres absolutely no question that it will put a huge dent in it.

The government should just step out of the way and see what the market does. Replace all the regulations and rules associated with pot, with the regulations and rules associated with broccoli or parsley... with the one exception that you cant sell it to minors.

I really doubt there would be much in the way of illegal sales if we did that.

In any case... these details are not a reason not to end one of the most destructive and counterproductive policies in history.

I question things because I am human. And call no one my father who's no closer than a stranger

Sounds good. Did you forget my request for a cite ? Short term memory problems jacee ? ( kidding... get it ? don't get offended... )

Edited to add: I tried Googling this myself but couldn't find any good stuff.

Me neither.

Medical marijuana became legal in 2001, but only that grown in a government facility. I remember that it was reported back then that the quality was very poor. That's what PIK was referring to, but that's old news, since private growers were licenced after that.

I can't find any info on that history of licencing either, but I know from licenced users that there's a variety of good qualities dispensed legally for their various medical conditions. Growers have bred strains for more body impact (pain, tremors, etc) and less brain ('stone') effect, and use of a vaporizer helps increase the uptake of cannabinoids and decreases uptake of THC too.
