The econimcal effect of the legalization of marijuana on the US economy would be insignificant to say the least. If you think otherwise, then maybe you should stop smoking so much
How about the flip side of that?
Considering the state of our economy and nation, the government should do what is reasonable to bring in more money and limit spending. One way to help solve both of those problems is to legalize marijuana. It could be taxed like cigarettes and alcohol, and less money would have to be spent on tracking down, prosecuting, and jailing marijuana users.
This is a fairly easy and safe way for the government to save and earn billions, which is very important considering the state of our economy and nation.
UGA: Everybody is laughing at us this year.
There is so much wrong with this post I do not know where to start. You say the government should limit spending and bring in more money. The legalization process and the process of setting new laws and guidelines to the using, distributing, and production of marijuana would cost BILLIONS. and the gains from this process would not be seen over night, it would be many years down the road after everything is perfected. I agree with you that this process should happen in the next 5-10 years, but right now, not a chance.
Another thing, think about who would be selling this product if it were legalized. Those companies would be reaping huge benefits from the sales. If Marijuana was legalized, the price would be much more then what it costs now, I can promise you that. If you wanted the regulation to work, there would be very strict guidelines to whats legal and illegal. They would make certain products legal, and marijuana grown naturally or personally illegal. This is what would have to be done for the government to see any benefit to the legalization of the drug. If the simply legalized the drug, It would save money in the court systems and jailing systems no doubt, but it would not generate any kind of money coming in.
Another way to look at this is say it was legalized and regualted perfectly. And then companies started to distribute marijuana with no troubles, and everyone bought from these companies. It would be expensive, and im sure millions of people would be buying this product. This would take away millions of dollars of profit from other companies selling any product you can think of. This would not stimulate the economy at all, it would actually have a negative effect.
That being said, this goes back to simply legalizing the use of the drug. How much good would this actually do? I garuntee it would still be illegal to distribute or sell on the streets. It would be illegal to do it while driving. And I can garuntee you the common work place would not allow it either. So if you think about all of that, it really would not help the court system or save our government any money at all. I typically hear about people getting arrested because they were high driving, had it in their possession while doing something illegal, being something minor or major, or dealing the drug. So the people that simply use it at home, at night, not planning on going anywhere, never really going to get caught, should not care about the legalization, because it hardly effects them. To me this not abusing the drug, but simply using it to relax on their own time(meaning not at work, or driving, etc etc) in a safe controlled enviroment that the general public has no problem with.
Sorry for the long rant, and I know its a bit cluttered and jumps thoughts, but I did not feel like writing a well thought out essay to get my general point across. So in conclusion, I think the people that bitch the most about the legalization of marijuana are the people that abuse it. Im done for now talking about this subject, and if this post gets flamed, I will then write a well thought out essay and post it up in here.

interesting points
-Super cool .gif TO UNBAN JITB, JM, Buttons AND NEMISIS here-
Yes, you are right. It would take an initial investment of time and money for legalization to occur. However, it would be a one time cost, unlike the BILLIONS spent annually to limit marijuana usage even though it is ineffective.
Legalization would lower prices, not raise them. Money would be generated off sales/vice taxes.Another thing, think about who would be selling this product if it were legalized. Those companies would be reaping huge benefits from the sales. If Marijuana was legalized, the price would be much more then what it costs now, I can promise you that. If you wanted the regulation to work, there would be very strict guidelines to whats legal and illegal. They would make certain products legal, and marijuana grown naturally or personally illegal. This is what would have to be done for the government to see any benefit to the legalization of the drug. If the simply legalized the drug, It would save money in the court systems and jailing systems no doubt, but it would not generate any kind of money coming in.
Again, prices would be lower, not higher. Think about it. Currently, the supply of marijuana for Americans is low, while the demand is high. This causes high prices. Once it is legalized, the supply would be able to match the demand better and lower prices. Also, the economy is ever changing, and limiting something because it could hurt somebody else's business is pretty dumb. Should the government make the sale of import cars illegal because it hurts the business of the Big Three?Another way to look at this is say it was legalized and regualted perfectly. And then companies started to distribute marijuana with no troubles, and everyone bought from these companies. It would be expensive, and im sure millions of people would be buying this product. This would take away millions of dollars of profit from other companies selling any product you can think of. This would not stimulate the economy at all, it would actually have a negative effect.
That is a lot of speculation. Also, legalization affects all marijuana users, whether they would get caught or not.That being said, this goes back to simply legalizing the use of the drug.

"Yes, you are right. It would take an initial investment of time and money for legalization to occur. However, it would be a one time cost, unlike the BILLIONS spent annually to limit marijuana usage even though it is ineffective. "
^ It would not be considered a one time cost because the process would not happen over night, but I understand what you're saying, and I agree to an extent, just saying it should not happen right now.
"Legalization would lower prices, not raise them. Money would be generated off sales/vice taxes.
Again, prices would be lower, not higher. Think about it. Currently, the supply of marijuana for Americans is low, while the demand is high. This causes high prices.

Should the government make the sale of import cars illegal because it hurts the business of the Big Three?"
^I can see where you are coming from, but this is greedy America, not "make consumers happy" America. The demand of cigarettes is always high, yet why do I pay so damn much for some paper and tobacco? I do not think cigarettes are astronomically overpriced, but the tobacco compnay is making a KILLING off of me. My point about limiting other businesses was that we do not need marijuana taking the place of other things being bought right now. Think of how much would be sold if you could buy it at a gas station. There are plenty of people out there that would do it if it was legal, but right now choose not to use it because it is illegal. And your comparison of the japanese cars being sold is invalid, its a legal running business as of right now, and was never at one point illegal, so a different subject all together. I understand what you are saying though, and my argument was just meaning due to current economic times, marijuana is at the bottom of the barrell.
"That is a lot of speculation. Also, legalization affects all marijuana users, whether they would get caught or not."
^I know some of it is specualation, but is the argument wrong? How does one get caught using marijuana if he uses it on his free time at only his house, and grows his one little plant? The people getting arrested for it are the people driving while high, having it at parties, having possesion of it while doing something to attract the attention of the police, or buying/selling it. If legalized, It would still be illegal to sell it at a street level im sure, and also illegal to drive while being high, and they would set a age limit on it. So would the legalization really stop millions of petty arrests? This argument can go both ways, and both our arguments are valid so
"No prob
Sorry, I am a quoting nooob. Did the best I could haha. Please forgive.
Amazing. Wanna guess how much of this was in the control of marijuana?
I need to get out of the WL...I missed a good one here.
Coming from a formerly avid potsmoker, it really upsets me to see friends go to jail for having a gram on them, while minding their own damn business.
What upsets me even more, however, is the general population of people who smoke. Seriously, weed attracts retards. It's unfortunate, but it's true. I don't hang out with retards, but 99% of my good friends smoke quite a bit. They are all well above average intelligence wise, but without trying to sound like an asshole, my friends and I seem to be a rare breed. I HATE the fact that around here most of the people who do drugs only do them because, well, they can't really do anything else with their lives. Your average stoner in my area is pretty much nothing but a stoner. I have "friends" like this, but I can't stand to be around them for long periods of time. They're mostly good people, but I seriously can't stick around in environments filled with people that are on their way to absolutely nothing. When weed becomes more than just recreation, it is ruined. I will always love pot, but there is a fine line between keeping your priorities straight and forgetting about the real world. As much as I would like to see weed be legal(I really think it always should have been), more and more worthless stoners would pop up and do more to ruin weed's reputation than they already have. I don't smoke nearly as much as I used to, and I've realized that now I appreciate it more than ever. I got way too into partying in high school, and instead of getting a 4.0 gpa like I should have I didn't do shit and got by with a 2.9. I thought it was so awesome to show up and get A's on every test, but when you miss 2 days of school a week and are extremely unfocused, there is nothing rewarding about it.
And to Ran and whoever else that puts all of us in the "dumbass" category, I get where you're coming from, but try to be a little more open. Nobody should smoke if they don't want to, but to give the drug itself a bad name because of the morons that surround it really isn't fair in my eyes.
According to Ohio State University THC helps prevent Alzheimer's and may increase brain cell production.

Stick that in yo pipe and schmoke it.
too much reading, but i know i dont smoke weed, or smoke anything!
hehehe
I SMOKE TIRES!
The price of marijuana would drop to a ridiculous level. I'd estimate something like $15 a half.
Go back and read the first post.
The most of the damage actually comes from the cigars/papers that people roll the shit up in. Smoke it in a vaporizer and it nearly obliterates all harmful toxins.
If they simply decriminalized the sale/distribution/posession of marijuana this would cost billions??? Tell me where the money would be spent. Specifically.
The same people who're selling it now, as well as more people who want to sell it but fear repercussions, and a few companies.
They wouldn't reap huge benefits because they would have so much competition it'd be ridiculous. They would have to produce some VERY good shit for a VERY good price to keep people from growing their own shit.
Wrong once again. They would tax the shit out of imported weed, and out of weed sold in stores.
Why?? Why would it be illegal to sell or distribute?? Why would it be illegal to do while driving if studies PROVE that you are less likely to have an accident while high??? WHY if studies PROVE you are a safer driver while high???I garuntee it would still be illegal to distribute or sell on the streets. It would be illegal to do it while driving.
Not true. Those people who do use it in that manner are at fear for their jobs because they are participating in illegal activities (especially such with a horrible social stigma) that would show up on tests many jobs require you to consent to. Were it legal, it would be similar to a "Don't ask, Don't tell" as long as it doesn't affect your production in the work place.So the people that simply use it at home, at night, not planning on going anywhere, never really going to get caught, should not care about the legalization, because it hardly effects them.
@Ksniperfox
People like you are missing the point of the thread. Its not to convince you that its OK to smoke weed, its to inform you of common marijuana myths and debunk them.
Next point - You obviously didn't read the entire post. If corporations don't want something to happen, it won't happen. Simple as that, and vice versa.

yea there is a video on youtube, of the president elect telling a MMJ patient that he wont let the federal government bust state dispensaries.
lealize it

I think it's hilarious that people let their government lead them around by their noses. If we were to legalize and tax pot it might even help out our current financial hard time.
brokeness
my moms doctor told her to smoke pot for her pain that she has her body is attacking its self and it should be legal and should be treated like alchohol if you get what im saying agree or not i think sick people should be able to smoke it so they can eat now you people that smoke 24/7 i dont agree with you but i do
Bozzio for president.
I haven't read half this thread, Ill admit but honestly any of those who are thinking weed is the dumbest thing in the world, go for it. Keep thinking whatever you want. Theres no pressure, theres no badass story on how I figured out my life while on drugs, nothing. I just simply choose to do it.
I have openly done this drug off and on for awhile, I have experimented with different pychodelics and other drugs and I choose not to do the ones that make you see Reindeer dancing ontop of your car while explaining to you that you should walk into waffle house naked. Those drugs are fun, but are fun in an immature way. Ive have snorted, eaten, smoked, and licked (acid stips) just about fucking everything with the exception of two drugs, which are Meth and Heroine.
And to sum all those drugs up, shit I don't know but they are not as fun as people make them out to be. However, coming back to cannibus I have never had a bad experiance, never gotten sick, never been "too high" to do something. And trust me when I say this, those of you who say "oh you haven't smoked enough", trust me I have. I am not proud of that, just stating that I have been to the places in the drug world you hear about and met some fucking people. What it comes down to it all is simply this.
If you can function your life, and drugs do not rule your life, as in you make it your daily goal of smoking at any time you are not at work or at school or elsewise, then your fine. If you hold a good job, make decent grades and your habits do not affect other people than do as you do.
Otherwise, cheers and tokes.

it may not cause brain damage, but it could lead to short term memory loss.PLEASE TRY TO PROVE THIS WRONG)))).
Brain Damage
Marijuana is psychoactive because it stimulates certain brain receptors, but it does not produce toxins that kill them (like alcohol), and it does not wear them out as other drugs may. There is no evidence that marijuana use is a cause of brain damage. Studies by Dr. Robert Heath claimed the contrary in experiments on monkeys, but Heath's work has been sharply criticized by the Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences on three primary counts:
its insufficient sample size (only four monkeys),
its failure to control experimental bias, and its misidentification of normal monkey brain structure as "damaged".
A far superior experiment by the National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR) involving 64 rhesus monkeys that were exposed to daily or weekly doses of marijuana smoke for a year found no evidence of structural or neurochemical changes in the brains of rhesus monkeys. Studies performed on actual human populations will confirm these results, even for chronic marijuana users (up to 18 joints per day) after many years of use. In fact, following the publication of two 1977 JAMA studies, the American Medical Association (AMA) officially announced its support for the decriminalization of marijuana.
Contrary to a 1987 television commercial sponsored by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America (PDFA), marijuana does not "flatten" brain waves either. In the commercial, a normal human brain wave was compared to what was supposedly the (much flatter) brain wave of a 14-year-old high on marijuana. It was actually the brain wave of a coma patient. PDFA lied about the data, and had to pull the commercial off of the air when researchers complained to the television networks.
In reality, marijuana has the effect of slightly increasing alpha-wave activity. Alpha waves are generally associated with meditative and relaxed states which are, in turn, often associated with human creativity.
when i smoked, i would listento people, then within that very day, i would have forgotten key points to which what was said, important or not. kinda like selective hearing.
i don't smoke now, and i remember shit a lot better than i did before.
it doesn't cause brain damage, it just causes people to be forgetful to remembering key points in which things that may have been important to the fellow person, and the effects of mary causes one to easily forget, due to the relaxing, munchies, notgivingafuck, etc.
i don't find anything wrong with it, i mean, its not like its hurting anymore. and besides, legalizing it could just boost the economy up, but since the gov't can't find a way to tax it, its keeping it from being legal. but truth of the matter being, i bet the gov't is probably taking what have been from tickets/major busts and easily putting back into the economy and then keeping what ever profit is made from it, on top of whatever fines and shit people are getting nailed with.
i think that there is VERY FEW true cops still left, most of them are probably crooked as fuck cause of their position thinking they can get away with anything or that they "are the law".
man fuck the police, and burn it down bitches!
smoke a blunt and tell the po-po to go fuck with the guy robbing the bank, you're just chillin on the park bench.
MONDAY, Feb. 9 (HealthDay News) -- Smoking marijuana over an extended period of time appears to greatly boost a young man's risk for developing a particularly aggressive form of testicular cancer, a new study reveals.
In fact, researchers found that men who smoked marijuana once a week or began to use the substance on a long-term basis while adolescents incurred double the risk for developing the fastest-spreading version of testicular cancer -- nonseminoma, which accounts for about 40% of all cases.
"Since we know that the incidence of testicular cancer has been rising in our country and in Europe over the last 40 years and that marijuana use has also risen over the same time, it seemed logical that there might be an association between the two," said study co-author Janet Daling, an epidemiologist and member of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center's public health sciences division in Seattle. "And when I analyzed the data, we found a fairly strong relationship with this aggressive type of testicular cancer."
No link was found between the drug and a less aggressive and more prevalent form of the disease, known as seminoma, which strikes 60% of testicular cancer patients.
The findings were published in the Feb. 9 online issue of Cancer.
According to the U.S. National Cancer Institute, testicular cancer is very rare, accounting for just 1% of cancers among American men. Nevertheless, the disease is the most common type of cancer for American men between the ages of 15 and 34, the study noted.
Across North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, testicular cancer rates have increased by 3% to 6% in the past half-century. That has led some researchers to suggest that the upward trend might be the product of increased exposure among young men to one or more external factors, including a simultaneous and comparable rise in the use of marijuana.
Along those lines, the researchers noted that the testes could be particularly vulnerable to the effects of marijuana, given that the organ -- along with the brain, heart, uterus and spleen -- carries specific receptors for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the principal psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.
As well, previous human and animal research has indicated that marijuana use might lead to reduced hormonal production (particularly testosterone), poorer semen quality and impotency in men.
Daling and her team explored the notion of a marijuana-testicular cancer connection by analyzing data on 369 testicular cancer patients that had been collected by the Adult Testicular Cancer Lifestyle and Blood Specimen Study.
Participants were between the ages of 18 and 44, most were white or Hispanic, and all were residents of the Seattle-Puget Sound region. All had been diagnosed with the disease between 1999 and 2006. The men reported any history of marijuana use, as well as alcohol and smoking habits, and the same information was collected from about 1,000 healthy men.
The researchers found that current marijuana use was linked to a 70% increased risk for the disease.
Independent of known risk factors, nonseminoma risk was particularly high among men who used the drug at least once a week and among those who had started using it before age 18.
Though Daling emphasized that the findings are preliminary, she suggested that attention should be paid.
"We know very little about the long-term health consequences of marijuana smoking," she cautioned. "So, although this is the first time this association has been studied and found -- and the finding does need to be replicated before we are really sure what's going on -- this does give some evidence that testicular cancer may be one result from the frequent use of marijuana. And that is something that young people should keep in mind."
But the prospect of a causal relationship between marijuana use and testicular cancer raised a lot of unanswered questions for Gary Schwartz, an associate professor in both the department of cancer biology and the department of epidemiology and prevention at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C.
"The consensus is that most testicular cancer is thought to originate with lesions in utero, and that the peak age for testicular cancer to actually occur begins, really, right after adolescence," he noted. "That's when hormones released during puberty appear to promote [full-blown] cancer by essentially throwing fuel on the lesion fire, following a relatively long latency. The point being that you don't suddenly wake up one morning with a tumor. So it's a little hard to understand how exposure to marijuana beginning at that point could somehow play an immediate causal role."
"But certainly, the idea that cannabis may cause cancer cells to proliferate is interesting," Schwartz acknowledged. "It could, however, also be that recreational drug use is simply a marker for affluence, since we know that testicular cancer is traditionally a disease that is more common among the affluent. Or it could be a marker for some other event that comes along with it, that triggers lesions that lead to tumors. So, at this point, it's just not clear to me how exactly the association between marijuana and testicular cancer would work."
