Regulate it so people aren't being duped into smoking rat poison, tax it, and remove one of the primary sources of funding for international crime families.
People are going to do drugs whether it's legal or illegal.
Regulate it so people aren't being duped into smoking rat poison, tax it, and remove one of the primary sources of funding for international crime families.
Lets not forget the major source of funding for domestic crime families.
In the early 70's, street gangs were far far more timid than they are now. Something that you might actually respect and consider a somewhat decent choice for your kids to get involved in.
Drugs ruined that, a cheap, easy way of getting massive ammounts of cash for the "boss" of the gang, while at the same time paying pittance to the crew, funneling in weapons and setting off turf wars.
You don't see the kind of gang wars over tobacco do ya ?
That shit is far more dangerous than pot, yet because its legal, taxed, regulated, and easily accessible, its not worth a dime to black-market trade the stuff.
You will see the same thing happen if you legalise all the other drugs. And I mean all of em.
Salvia, crack, heroine, ice...etc.
So long as its produced safely, and tightly regulated, those who want to use it, will...and no crime-rings benefit from it.
You'll also free up MASSIVE resources in your penitentiary system.
marijuana is cannabis sativa. every stoner knows that.
hemp is cannabis oglalas. different species.
we're the only industrialized nation to continue to ban industrial hemp.
even though one of the many things you can make with it, is plastics.
the other thing we currently use fucktons of oil to do.
and few are willing to mention that, because we know plastic is the only way we can afford most of what we have.

This country may never be able to repair it's mistakes... but it's nice to see at least ONE man trying.
It's really awesome. Worth taking the time to watch it all the way through. I'd recommend skipping to the second clip in the playlist if you want to get right into the speech.
