If you choose to you can invest tons of money growing anything. The point is, you do not have to, you just need to be disciplined and stick to it. Over time your marijuana will find a market and you will be able to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. Those that choose to fashion themselves in the mold of Larry Ellison or Bill Gates, well they will have to spend tons on manufacturing and marketing. The point is there is a place for anyone who wants in. If California made pot legal, the entire country, the United States, could send every DEA agent it had into the area and it wouldn’t make a dent. The war is over, time to sue for peace.

I know this lady that hasn’t smoked pot in over 10 years, but still knows a handful of people that do. None of them want it legal because even stoners (the kind with jobs and stuff) know big gov will tax the heck out of it.

I have absolutely no problem with legalizing marijuana.

Tax the Hippies!

They sure tax my Budweiser or smokes. It’s about time the Hippies started carrying their fair share of the load as California taxpayers.

Best of all it will cut the Mexican gangs out of the business and keep profits with local farmers. Who needs Al Capone when you can get a joint at the the local coffee shop?

What California is doing will seem like common sense natiowide in a few years. Remember all the controversy over Riverboat Gambling? Sheesh. You can gamble in a dozen states now.

Evolution works.

Marijuana is a states rights issue. If the voters of a particular state want to legalize it for medical reasons, paper production, recreational use or to wipe their arses, it is nobody’s business. I would rather encounter on the street a person that just took a few tokes than someone that is drunk.

When the times get tight, the tax man goes lookin…for anything. That’s generally when you see “Change” and not before.

Well, butinski doo-gooders the nation over will be apoplectic that so many people are enjoying themselves. Oh, and it will be hard to find a 7-Eleven that isn’t sold out of Twinkies and chocolate milk.

I’ve heard rumor that one joint is the equivalent of 10 cigarettes, but I’ve never known too many recreational pot smokers to consume and entire joint in any one sitting (as my age, I now only know a few). How can marijuana be any worse than alcohol? I’m more of an alcohol man myself (I prefer to stay within the limitations of the law), but I would still argue that marijuana is likely a safer vice.

Somewhere in Sacremento a group of overpaid, do-nothing-talk-a-lots are weighing the moral ramifications of fixing California’s budget problems by legalizing an already existing cash crop while guzzling mimosas like Mel Gibson at an Easter brunch.

Smoking pot is bad for you… but now you can vaporize pot and it’s pretty harmless to your body…

Welcome to the new California, a land where the education was among the best of the best, the economy was the world’s envy and the health care system a model for our nation. But these days California can’t even figure out if smoking pot is bad for you.
