    it's not to be used like cigarettes. EDIT: let me clarify, you can use it like cigarettes.

    what i mean is it not be used all the time.

    Who are the growers the tobacco companies going to be using? Are the local growers aren't going to trash their crops and sell their land for 10 cents on the dollar?

    The conglomerates will have their own fields to grow and smaller growers will have their own niche market.

    So what happened to the pot dealers in the Netherlands when they legalized pot?

    I mean not legalize but decriminalize mar1juana. It's still illegal over there, but there are no criminal penalties for personal use.

    regulated medicinal mar1juana goes for about $20 a gram for the higher grade stuff in California.


    Even if they taxed the current industry of medical cannabis,without fully legalizing, they would make a killing...

    I hope it goes to $50 if it's legalized. That would be awesome.

    Right now, I'm paying $275 an ounce in CA.

    Oh, wait, I should have read the OP. Disregard this.

    $50 per oz tax would be crazy!

    No, mar1juana escalation is a completely different argument and is absolutely correct when discussing this 21st century drug nightmare.

    Modern super mar1juana is 10,000 times stronger then its ancient cousin from the 60's. mar1juana drug addicts will seek out 'Chrystal Mary' and smoke it not with rolling papers, but a high tech electronic device called a vaporizer. They will go on week long binges that can often end in death. Hardcore users often begin shooting heroin to slow down the high -- it's known 'slow balling'. Many medicinal mar1juana shops will include no cost tar heroin with the mar1juana order -- users call this 'free balling.'

    well, the vaporizer part was somewhat correct. (a device does exist called a vaporizer)


    the rest of it.....not so much

    There are so many lies in this paragraph, it is hard to know where to start.

    First, there has never been a documented case of overdose or death caused by mar1juana.

    Second, I have never, in over two decades of dealing with this issue, heard of someone shooting heroin to "slow down" a pot high .

    Third, there is no medical mar1juana shop anywhere in the world that will provide free heroin.

    Fourth, today's mar1juana is nowhere near 10,000 times as potent as the pot in the '60s.

    I know KC was joking or some such, but there are people out there who will buy the drug warrior's BS every time, so I will answer these assertions when they are put out there.

    I'm not so sure he's joking. If so, he's been pretty consistent in this thread. I disagree with him, if it's not a joke, but he's certainly entitled to his opinion, furry suit or not. :)
