I am not wrong about the economy. You can tax the shit out of it and manufacture it and sell it the same way cigarettes and produced and manufactured. It would be so cheap to manufacture it which makes alot of sense considering you can sell it at a extremely high price (see: cigarettes). Tax payers would save alot of money because of decriminalization. And how about the fact that maybe law enforcement can focus on locking up people like murderers and child molesters rather than spending the money to lock up someone for possession. And who says we can’t use the tax money from for things like school and maybe something called a universal healthcare system? But apparently that doesn’t help the economy. ---

Native to Central or South Asia, the cannabis plant has been used as a drug for both recreational and entheogenic purposes and in various traditional medicines for centuries.

You have no idea what its like and you try to chirp me but you dont know shit. 20 bucks says you high vs you sober vs you drunk… sober has the best reaction time, best reflexes, and coordination… if you argue with that then you’re a tool.

TheKID is saying that he smokes regularly so he can drive ok when he’s high. But remember, not everyone is the same. If you or most people take the pain meds and muscle relaxers I’m on, you’d probably kill yourself if you got in a got. Tolerance is a different story here. The other day on Mythbusters there was an episode of driving drunk vs. driving talking on a cell phone, and it was actually safer to drive drunk (0.07-0.08). ---

Also, they tested the drunk driving below the California legal limit – Adam, at least, has gotten much drunker for MythBuster tests than that.
