If weed was legal not only would it be great for potheads, it would be great for the American economy. The government spends billions a year on the war on drugs. If weed was legal not only would this money be able to be used on more important things like healthcare, but the government could take it and actually MAKE money.

Unfortunately, there's this to think about.
Let's say weed becomes legal. My guess is that it will be moderately expensive, and that you'll only be able to buy certain quantities at a time. Of course, people will want more. So what happens? Dealers start selling more amounts of weed for less money. This works because then the dealers get all the business, so they don't lose profit by cheapening the product. Then the government keeps waging war on the dealers because the dealers understood basic econ. If they don't make it legal, people buy from dealers. Either way, the government gets no money.

Yes, i agree you do have a point. But in my opinion, (I could be completely wrong) there are many people who would rather pay a little extra then risk getting from a dealer. This is for a couple reasons. First, you don't have to worry about getting caught doing something illegal and second you don't have to worry about the weed being bad or laced or anything. I have a friend who got laced weed.

People buying right now are doing something illegal.
I understand where you're coming from, and I agree that there would be a profit on the side of the government. Unfortunately, the money the government would spend to seek after the few dealers who operate outside the law would negate most, if not all of the profits gained.

Before making stuff illegal, you need good reasons. There are many good reasons for why Marjiuana is illegal.

the only reason pot is illegal is because back in the day hemp was out selling paper. the owner of the paper company started a hate campaign against hemp. thus making pot illegal in the process. Do some research and when people ask for your sources cite them, don't just say "Look'em up." Makes you look like a dumbass.

One thing people need to remember is that laws and restrictions aren't really created for the casual user, they're made to restrict the habitual users and abusers from going wrong.
There are diffrent levels of Smoking Weed and Consuming alcohol. Both have one thing in common; Long Exposure = Extreme Side-effects. It has been proven that Weed or should I say THC, does not kill Brain cells. But it has been proven to increase Psychosis by at least 20%-40%, depending on the user.
The only reason I oppose weed is because of what I have personally seen. Everyone in my fairly small school, who smokes weed most weekends, is going no where in life. They lack the ambition and pride, that takes someone to succed in life, and I blame this one weed. While on the other hand I have friends who smoke it at partys the odd time, who appear unharmed by it.

I myself used to smoke weed. It's not bad at all, actually it's great, but when I started, everyone that knew told me that I was eventually use something else, something stronger. I laughed at them, and yet they were right. That's why I stopped and that's why I think it is illegal. Many of you that are only smoking, and nothing more think of this as BS, but the truth is that there is a lot of people that are like me, and I support that drugs are illegal. Also I agree with your comic/drawing. People are more dangerous when using alcohol, then when they are using marijuana. Gif unrelated

If weed was legal, there would be ten times as many unproductive, useless losers laying around in this country. Marijuana isn't illegal because it's dangerous; it's illegal because the last thing this country needs is more losers that give this country a bad reputation and dig us deeper into a mess we've already made out of this country.
fuck you faggot, its a cash crop, i live in michigan and the money our medical program produces for the people involved is unbelievable. Also its illegal due to a fear campaign released in the 1930s because hemp had the potential to be used for paper instead of timber, not because its the last thing we need.

I know a few people at my school that smoke weed, and let me tell you, there is only 1 person that can smoke pot and still be intelligent, every person that smokes weed, forgetting if its good or bad for you, are also the people that will do other drugs, its not that more people will become useless losers, its just that fact that pot will intensify the stupidity of the current losers in the country
these are biased views, you are looking at the worst side of alcohol and the best side of weed.
