Ok I started reading and I feel that I must give my opinion.
-I gaurentee weed will be legal in our lifetime. It is ineviable.
For instance, Mitt Romney was for legalizing marijuana. Thats a president canidate.

-If the gov made it legal and taxed it rather than fought it, do you realize how much money we would save?
For Intance, Cops could go after the murders big crime lords and so on, rather than pulling over people for pot.

-Only the people that do smoke, can comprehend the amount of people that do smoke. Once you do smoke, you understand how many things are relating to smoking pot. People, music, movies, art, it goes on for a very long time.
For Instance, those that listen to Dave Matthews. I never listened to Dave before, never really appreciated the music. Well then that changed one night when I "got second hand smoke" from a few people. I could not believe what I was hearing. The gutair, drums, snares, violin was INCREDIBLE. I now love Dave Matthews and listen to it all the time. But it was hidden from me for all these years.

-I find it no different than Alcohol. Yes Alcohol is legal for people above 21. How many people drink that are not 21? Millions. Pot is illegal. How many people burn? Millions upon Millions.

-Yes it would be difficult to tax because alot of people grow it for themselves. Just as people make shine, it is much more convienent to go to the store and buy a handle of Jack Daniels. Just like pot, if someone could just go to the store real quick and grab a sack they would pay for it, for the convienence. Look anywhere in the sales market. Convienence (sp?) sells stuff very easy. You could change your oil for like 14-15 bucks. Or you can go to NTB and get it done for 30 and you dont have to do anything. Same concept.

-Also, government Marijuana is for medical purposes. Anyone who is anyone that has gotten their hands on this knows well, that it is very worth paying for rather than trying to grow something similiar. The THC level in normal marijuana is supposely 5-6% THC. The THC level in medical grade is in the 20 % area.
