OK - - - i have 2 people in my life that 420 everyday and for their protection lets just call them my wife and daughter ............HAHAHAHAHAHA.
i do not smoke anymore because unfortunately im allergic to it, everytime i try i get sick as hell and even the smell of it makes me nauscious [sp]
but i do agree with legalizing it simply for the revinue it would generate, even if a single dime wasn't collected for the sale of it how many billions would be saved just eliminateing drug task forces and what else could they be doing for the betterment of america? child abuse controll, homlessness, innercity programs etc, but of course add the taxable revinue on top of that and we could give everyone free health care, cut fuel costs in half relieve other taxes like property and school taxes.
i dont know about other state lotteries but NY half of all winning taxes goes into our education system, now lottery doesnt cause vehicle accidents but how many of us have been behind that lil old lady or guy in a convienience store whatching them spend money they prolly shouldnt be on scatch tickets..............that doesn't promote good family lifestyles.
alcohol is the same way........i will venture to guess that usage for usage if pot were legal, more families are and will be destroyed by alcohol than weed
im gonna sit with fishbot on this one - -we speed because its the excitement of getting caught, i quit smokeing cigs for 5 years about 3 days after my mom said it was ok to smoke - -it just wasn't fun anymore -
there will be pot related issues and accidents for sure but the loss of a few for the benifiet of the many has always been a decition we as americans have had to make , look at any war or even the fucked up mess we're in right now.
i do want to say i dont see any legitamate use for it, but if its there a billions can be generated from it --------- why not benifeit from it ????

California was supposed to use most of lottery money for schools as well, but they just started paying MUCH less via the tax rout and the schools are still underfunded.
They figured out how to screw the kids anyway.

always do
thats what would happen if they legalize it - -they'd find some other bullshit to spend it on rather than fix the already messed up economy
