USThumper: You already are, all that would do is make it more legal.


I agree with that ! And, I know it seems hypocritical to not want to see pot legalized when alcohol is .
I just wouldn't want to encourage or enhance an already seemingly unenforced social problem ...........

I wouldnt care to live in the kind of systwm it would require to control the drugs. People have been doing drugs of one kind or another sense they lived in caves, and they arent about to stop now. So the govt should take its cut and just cut back on the really dangerous ones. And if they get enough taxes out of them, it would help everybody.

I believe that spending on Medicaid and Education alone accounts for 60% of California's budget.

in my area, we pay not only federal and state, but city taxes and school taxes and real estate taxes. local taxes are for both the city you live in and work in (all the cities you work in, in care you have more than one job).

i have no problem with legalizing and taxing weed. people are doing it anyway. let's just say, i'd rather be driving in a car with someone smoking weed than someone drinking alcohol.
