Further to that, I support it in Mexico, as if they legalize it as they should, billions of dollars will instantly be removed from the pockets of drug kingpins and cartels, and it WILL make the Mexican people safer. Theoretically, once people can farm their own land safely again, they won't have as great a need for going abroad to find decent paying work, and the majority of the complainers about immigrant workers will finally have a lot less to complain about. Further to that thought, and for those who are interested, here is a link to the medical cannabis program in Canada, complete with .pdf application forms which can be downloaded, filled out, and sent back for 100% legal access to cannabis for medical purposes.

There is absolutely no need to create any new taxes for cannabis, since at the moment, the billions of dollars which currently are totally in the underground economy are completely tax free. By simply allowing it to be grown and sold commercially, this will be a completely new market which hasn't existed for more than 70 years! This is not to say "don't regulate it" however...just that anyone who wants to grow it for personal uses, be they medical or recreational, they should simply be left alone. It should be tested, verified, classified and quality controlled for commercial distribution, whether that be for medical or recreational use, and it should definitely be kept out of the hands of minors. Fact is, if you're old enough to walk into a bar, you're old enough to make the decision for yourself whether you'd rather buy something absolutely natural which has confirmed health benefits, or alcohol, which kills tens of thousands of people each and every year. As there is some question as to the effects on the potential for chemistry modification in developing brains, it should immediately be studied to determine whether this is speculation or fact, and in the meantime, it should be restricted to those over the age of 19 to be certain that potential brain chemstry changes do not occur. Past that...I'm as eager to see what happens with all this as you all are! d=^) Not only do I support legalization in the US, I support it in Canada.

This is disturbing, and a reason that i would argue that like tomatoes, we can choose whether to buy marijuana from a store and/or grow our own. We should pay taxes on the marijuana we buy, of course. And on that which we grow only if we are selling it. Like tomatoes, we should be able to grow the herb for free. Complete legalization, not just for medical reasons, should not result in super expensive herbs like how the Pharm companies have made their little pills into a multi-billion dollar industry. At the end of the day, IT'S JUST WEED, PEOPLE! It's strange that our country is so backwards when it comes to weed. There is something weird going on here: cocaine is scheduled as a less dangerous drug than weed; the government holds a patent on medical marijuana yet continues it's schedule 1 classification, meaning it's without any medicinal benefit. It's strange that the drug czar comes out with this news of super high (read: dangerous) THC weed and the news warrents a CNN news special. Yet, on April 1st, news broke out of Spain that THC was found to shrink cancerous tumors and stop the spread of cancer cells. No news coverage whatsoever. Next, we find that the drug czar pretty much twisted the facts to come up with his high THC number, and didn't mention that those levels were only a result of mixing hashish into the marijuana. This news deserves it's own CNN special, but we will never see this. The propaganda is rampant. This facade cannot last much longer, and I want to thank all of you who care and work for justice.

If we can regulate narcotics that can be manufactured in home, why can we not regulate marijuana to those with medicinal needs and for those who use sociably a lower concentration of herb. Keep in mind everyone is effected differently from pot, hell I am normal in my opinion and in others as well, some become uncontrollable with laughter and others get paranoid, fall asleep, even act stupid. I smoke everyday and not once been busted for possession, however, it would be nice to not have the worry. Legalize it, Regulate it, Stop debating it. There are viable solutions out there.

And I've discussed this with many people, even those that would grow it would likely also buy the taxed and packaged stuff in off seasons. It could potentially be a huge revenue stream for the US government.
