Political Activism Regarding MMJ... (Read 420 times)

    The icing on this thread's cake would be Sportsjester coming back to tell us that if we smoked pot like an ostrich, we could get 10% higher.

     

    Funny you mention SJ....

    A couple days ago, I got an Ironman Facebook thing, and SJ's real last name was the author of the article.  It's a unique last name, and it took me about 1 second (or a fraction of it) to realize that SJ's not working for Ironman as their Chief Marketing Officer.

     

    However, now I wonder if they're related... hmmm???

        What happened to you totally sucks, but I don't agree the drug war will end if marijuana is legal.  Do you really think all the gangs and people that sell marijuana will magically disappear. 

         

        One of the arguments used by the stoners in Washington was that the illegal growing, distribution, and selling of pot that our government (state and federal) has been unable to control will magically disappear when pot is legal .

         

        Really? The people that have gone head to head with the DEA, state, county and city police are now going to afraid of the tax man or code enforcement officer?

          I can't believe I'm making a serious post on this thread, but I think the idea is that free market capitalism will do the work that the government can't do.

            Or people who no longer have to fear incarceration will just plant it out back beside the tomatoes and cucumbers as it's not a hard plant to grow.

              So more of a Friedman over Keynes philosophy.  I feel ya.

               

              Can we add monetary policy to the list of topics addressed in this thread?

                  I'm just saying that it's not tax collectors doing enforcement, it's the market, yo! I'm big on capitalism. This relates to that other thread.

                    oh wait that was Clemens.  Um Bonds. Um Sosa. Aw crap I forget but it was on the Internet so must be true.

                        Or a massive reduction in market price due to abundant availability will make it an unattractive endeavor for illegal operators.

                        The process is the goal.

                          Heh.  Look at his evaluation...

                           

                          Maybe he's not an expert at all forms of physical therapy.

                            I figured someone here had decided to "evaluate"  him.

                            There was a point in my life when I ran. Now, I just run.

                             

                            We are always running for the thrill of it

                            Always pushing up the hill, searching for the thrill of it
