People who smoke pot cause me to wonder.... They fight for marijuana to be legalized - for what?! If pot is legalized, it will be taxed like Ghandi at an all you can eat buffet with the look on his face like "if you get in my way I will kill you with this fork". Therefore, a stick of an average strand of weed bought LEGALLY will be around 10 bucks or more, compared to the street price of around 5 ( I'm assuming). If one bought some off the street after it was legalized, it would then be "untaxed pot" and will be illegal to do so. Another hope of the "kushians" is that pot bars and such will open up to those who need a place to toke it up. WELL, seeing this as an opportunity to make balls money, the owners will charge a hefty cover and one would probably have to buy pot from that particular establishment (which will be taxed like a mother) and would not be able to bring one's own sticky-icky. Just to make matters worse for the red-eyed puffers, the legalization of pot will take away it's status to the average consumer. Pot isn't just something to use to nullify one's problems, its also a trend; it has an image. There are movies made about it, songs written about it. It can be funny at times. Let's just compare the pot industry to the metal industry - a lot of people like metal because of its underground rebellious image. There's just something in it that solidifies a community in to a strong unit. Pot smokers are the same way. I see it all the time. There is something in it that enables people to connect with each other. - it goes beyond JUST pot alone. Legalization means that EVERYONE can smoke and that will diminish its societal status.
