What I see happening with unregulated/untaxed legalized marijuana is this: 1. Market grows huge, user base increases 2. Users become pothead/bums/jobless/lazy/dead? 3. Next generation of people see what went wrong, usages decreases considerably 4. Market and usage stabilizes at low level This happens over time though, NOT OVERNIGHT. Could be years/decades. But it’s natural selection. Strong survive. ^I think this is a good thing^ ---

I think they are looking at it like this. They are gonna make SOME money from the people who dont want to take the time to grow it them self’s. They stand to make more money then they are now, and with a state as broke as California im sure any dollar they can get will be helpful ---

That’s the governments fault though. They should adjust fines, imprisonment costs ect to profit. But we all know how efficient our government is :facepalm ---

Washington State alone announced recently that they would save $105,000,000 per YEAR if marijuana was legally regulated. Marijuana is US’ biggest cash crop whether the public or gov’t officials wish to recognize that. ---

is it full out legality, or decriminalization? if they decriminialize it for possession up to XX amount it would make more sense, then if you are caught with over say 8oz on your person you pay a fine, not risk some bogus non violent minor possesion prison sentence, which in the end costs EVERYONE a ton of money, thus reducing states funding. where if they are fined, say 500$ for the possession of XX amount, the state will generate revenue whilst saving the tax payers money on encarciration and depopulating the prisons, making room for the real criminals. ---

OMG no tax, way cheaper, better? I think people are looking at this the wrong way, should it be legal? IMO yes. Should it be government controlled? No. Is it going to create more problems/debt?

In fact the seeds are legal in all of the territories, as well as possesion. You just cant get caught out on the street. Even then they just tell you to put it out.
