Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Marijuana legalization.

If you own a Trane or American-Standard air conditioner…

It was built by a team of people high AF.

🤟🏼🤣

That's what Oregon did, made the "legal" growers so burdened with cost and regulation it became unprofitable for them. The state made out like a bandit however.

Coupled with a huge supply because every 20 something loser that can't hold a regular job wanted to get rich quick growing pot, the prices dropped in the toilet within three years. That's why so many abandoned their grow sites and equipment and left for grandpas basement. (Mom doesn't have a basement, she's a drug addict in and out of rehab).

The cartels do well by going to the state with the least enforcement (newest legalized states) and by shipping far and wide, where the 20 something is stupid as a pot smoker and doesn't know his ass from a hole in a tree.

I hear Oklahoma is hot right now, but I wouldn't know.

The problem with that is there will still be a black market, dealers will just sell it cheaper than the legal stuff.

^^^ This ^^^

Restrictive government controls and excessive taxation is what fostered high volume illegal 'moonshine' production, 'bootlegging' and large scale thievery of legal booze meant for retail sales.

It's a trade-off. Get caught without a carry gun when you need it and the rest of your life won't amount to much.

Thats EXACTLY where most here in PA with a medical authorization get theirs....the black market at an extremely cheaper price! Only go to the Dispensaries when they want a bit of the high strength stuff, the vape cartridges etc.

Raise your hand if you think the money spent on marijuana enforcement has kept marijuana out of the hands of anyone that wanted to smoke marijuana.

It has not but I do know it has filled jails & prisons with some that really don't belong there.

Well, have you?

If you used any of those drugs to get through the surgeries/dental work, do you have Satan to thank for them?

Roger, next time you go out to eat at a place that also serves booze, be sure to ask for a manager or better yet the CPA for the business. Ask them if they make more than 51% of their "income" (is that gross or net???) on booze.

Do you get to subtract the value of the pineapple juice in your MaiTai, and the profit made on it, from their receipts for the purpose of determining the 51% threshold?

Bwahahahaha.

I doesn't even keep it out of the hands of folks in Maximum Security prisons.

No need to ask, business owners are already required to post signs indicating whether they are a 51% or not.

LoLoLoL!!!!!

Kinda like a jug of shine?

Bootleg beer in dry counties? (no fine upstanding citizen of Texas would ever do such a thing, right?)

Do we have to read all the signs on the doors just to get a burger?

lol

It's not really CC if you tell everyone.

Reefer Madness sure did it's job.

One things for sure those favoring leagalized dope are quite enthusiastic about defending their position.

Back to the original question...yes or no..on legalization. In Calif as it was written on the ballot it sounded great. Some control of the industry, a new source of revenue, and freedom to put what you want in your body. Sounded like win-win. It passed comfortably. But greedy DEM legislature just taxed and regulated the product to the point it made black market dope profitable again. The cartels, Mex, Asian etc. had unlimited financial backing, the old hippies couldn't begin to compete again...so it's cartel run completely. The cartels had the money to hire the geneticists to produce the most powerful sticky resin bud ever made, and the grow equipped greenhouses to boost production to unheard of yields. Trouble was the cartels don't give a schidt about anything, environment, water, laws....it's profit here and now, all that matters. So my advice, regardless of where you are on personal drug use, if you care about long term, the land, rural economy, crime, water...vote no.
