Farmers plow their corn fields under, plant cash crop. Only corn left used to meet ethanol production mandates. CAFO cattle starve. Food shortage leads to rioting and domestic deployment of US troops. Police state ensues, backed by 2012 NDAA sanctioned indefinite detention of enemy combatants in war on terror. Meanwhile Monsanto engineers pot eating cow, and pesticide resistant pot. Patents both pot and cow. Owns entire food system. Dick Cheney crosses the rubicon, er, Delaware into washington with legions of lawyers and executives in tow. Declares himself perpetual president. Oops. I guess libertarians were wrong. Legalizing drugs would lead to a breakdown in our society. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/unintended-side-effects-of-legalizing-pot-add-yours/227048.md?page=2)
