for the people who watch the news and know about the current economic problem listen to this idea. i think the if the economy keeps declining the government could possibly legalize marijuana and fix the problem entirely. Think about how much money the gov would make. I think it is entirely possible
lol you think legallizing MJ will fix trillions of dollars of deficit? Money is just a word to the US, you actually think when you hear on the news "OMG US OWES 4 TRILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT" that that means anything? they will just print more money and people will continue to work and live
but to get someone (the govt.) to admit that they were wrong, and then to instantly embrace the thing they were wrong about is asking an awful lot. Is it a good idea? yeah. most people agree that allowing and taxing marijuana would assist the economy. it wouldn't entirely fix it, but it would help. maybe one day, but i'm not holding my breath.
no no, if MJ was introduced to the economy as a bi-product, it would initially be very bad. it's kinda like undercutting the competition. do some research, this was one of the main reasons they made those fake tests back in the day, and all those propaganda films like "reefer madness". the reason it would be bad at first is because, what would happen to all the companies that it replaces? and all the ppl that work for them? it's basically a catch 22. i think first, the general public has to be educated, and see that MJ is no more harmful than alcohol or tobacco, or less even. once awareness is raised, then maybe possession of small amounts would be tolerated, as well as being introduced as a legit medicine. although this is wishful thinking. what we need is all of the functional potheads of the world to publicly say, "yes i smoke weed." i mean in truth, chances are, your banker, teacher, government official, whatever does it. i dont' mean all of them, but statstically speaking some of them do. it's just no one ever wants to say anything cause they'll get treated like a typical pothead. myself, i hold a decent job, and all that, and i normally dont' tell ppl at work that i smoke weed. this is because once they find out, the tables turn right away, and any little thing that goes wrong is beacuse i'm a pothead, OR i'll lose all credibility. this has happened in the past. its really about the way society views MJ.
Legalising heroin might come closer to managing it, seeing as it's cheap to produce so they could levvy shitloads in the way of tax on it.
If the Us would just end the war in iraq and the war on drugs that would relieve alot of spending and maybe we can pay off our dept and then get back on our fet as a nation.
or you could legalize everything but weed, let the stupid people overdose, and then allow weed, outlawing everything else. except alcohol and cigarettes. people are blinded still by old propaganda. people "knock it before they try it" and don't know that a pothead wanting a bowl is different than a crack or heroin addict looking for a fix. besides, how can you organize all stoners? maybe a strike, advertised widely online? get every single pothead to take a week off from work, or just not show up for the week? or secretly, so the bosses give the time off before finding out why? whatever the plan, all kinks must be ironed out. it would be nice to see the detriment if all potheads just stop working for a week.
fuck its not that hard. we just need politicians to stop be gigantic fuck babies who either have it their way or hold their breathe until they turn blue. i mean jesus stop the war in iraq and the war on drugs and imagine the money we could have. instead of throwing heroin addicts into prison which is proven to not stop addiction how bout we put them in rehabs? legalize weed, tax it and enjoy. people who love to get drunk are not gonna stop getting drunk, although there may be decline in sales but idk, i some how think big alcohol would musture on. its not hard but thanks to the fuckheads on capitol hill who cant admit when they were wrong we cant make any progress. saying addicts will always be around and we should help them instead of saying there immoral people who will kill you, rape your wife and children will not get you elected because fear is politics, also why we fund the war on terror and the war in iraq, but im rambling so ill wrap this up. bottom line every things alot more connected with each other than we would think and if we want to fix this economy something drastic is going to have to happen on all fronts, starting with the stopping of stupid wars (could it be all of them?)
The problem as far as I understand it is that the money doesn't actually exist, other than as a piece of paper with imaginary value (or a figure on a computer). There is nothing to back the dollar yet many countries have bought and borrowed it as a strong currency, but it is now starting to lose its value. Even if legalising Cannabis in the US would generate more Tax revenue, this money would have no genuine value either, but would still carry a certain amount of debt with it, thus doing nothing to solve the problem. Your economy is fucked. And mine will be fucked soon after.
Yup. Once America goes under it's up to us Canadians to try and save the worlds economy....... So ya your gonna be fucked.
what a lightbulb moment! so, how long do we have before the end of days orgy? everyone's getting fucked! worldwide equality!
