dont know if it was already posted or not but here it is

 

Honestly I don't think it will cure it. It will certainly help it, but we are in waaay too deep of a hole to have it fixed by simply legalizing the herb.

 

It would help but legalizing and taxing MJ is not going to help it significantly. The black market of weed will still exist. Dealers will more than likely making shit that is worse for you. Lacing and such shit.

 

I believe once California legalizes, Canada as a whole will do the same, soon after. Since we aren't in nearly as much debt, I believe with all of the new jobs created and the country's current reputation for quality weed, that there should be plenty of cash flow to come. We will see what happens though...hopefully sooner than later.

 

i think the most interesting part of the whole thing is that it's on the main page of MSN

You know a bong can be used as a snorkel?

 

Nice, how true.

I don't think that any one thing will cure the financial problems. These things come and go. Everytime people start to get too comfortable and spend more than they make then this happens. It will happen again some time around 2025 or 2030. We had the same thing in the 70s with a little one in the 90s. The government puts up all of these restrictions to try and keep the money in line and then when it all goes to Hell they release the restrictions and then everyone spends money again. The Fat cats make more money and then they hold on to it when the times are bad. It all goes around. It's like the elections. If either the democrats or republicans did it right then we would never elect one or the other. One would stay in office all the time. People as a whole are uneducated regarding one thing or another. That is why as a whole the people don't really know what they want. We the Sheeple.

 

it seems like marijuana is geting more and more media attention lately. That cant be bad.

 

It definitely is getting a lot of media attention. Just last night it was on CNN, and that Marijuana Inc shit has been on a lot.

 

i dont think it would cure the economy but it would certainly help a little.

 

Yeah, I've been noticing that too. I've seen stuff about it just about every day this week on national news channels. Theres also been more tv documentaries and stuff on it.
