If marijuana became legal you can bet your ass that Marleyboro's would be right next to the Marlboro's.

This is true, but tobacco plants are not nearly as recognizable as MJ plants, especially to the untrained eye. I just dont understand why tobacco is legal and pot isnt. Just doesnt make any sense to me, except for the fact that it is illegal and therefore until it is legal, I will not touch the stuff. I think its just all a matter of semantics.

You know Juan and his family.
They get their welfare check 1st Monday of every month.

I can see the flip side, they will find every prisoner who is in for growin pot and make a new work release program

I have no issue with pot being legal.
I've smoked in my youth.
It would be a great revenue stream to the Fed and yes a work release program would be a good thing.
Also we could turn lose all the folks in jail for selling and distribution and reduce the number of prisoners we now support through taxes.
I'll stand by what I said though. Our government is too stupid to develop and run the program efficiently.

I have seen first hand the destructive effects of pot. Anyone who buys the arguments that it is harmless, blah, blah, blah, either a) just wants to smoke without fear, b) seriously ill informed

.
The same argument can be made for alcohol. I.e the drunk driver that killed my grandparents outside of Golthwait.

It would definitely bring more than coastal hay. And I bet we'd get allot more youngsters involved with farming to.
This sounds like the same argument that popped up during the prohibition. The drug cartels would try and keep a hand in the market but would ultimately fail. Yes MadMo the gooberment is to stupid to compete with the cartels and their spending plan would be some astronomical number. But if they hired Juan as a consultant they would get their tax revenue and Juan would get rich.
