Total legalized marijuana, will unbalances job markets!!!
If under Trump created 263,000 new jobs. A 3.6 unemployment rate, phony number anyways.
What is Trump going to do, when marijuana becomes totally legalized. There will be triple that amount of jobs to fill, like 780,000 marrijanna pot possession (assume criminals). Forget about all the 85 year war, where nobody get a pardon for a plant. All these horrible plant owners will be looking for new jobs when their record will ruins them again. About 780,000 pot possession released from prisons per year. More than all violent criminals combined.

On top of this what will all these lawyers, judges, police, prison guards, chemo oncologist, drug cartels, pharmaceutical cartels and dozens more etc.... (mostly useless jobs) going to do for low wage jobs?.

The war on drugs is wrecking parts of society in the US but the prison industry is big business.
At least the legalisation of cannabis is a start.

You can never win wars or prohibition on anything. Being against only becomes part of the problem. The cannabis is a herb or a soft drug. For all the states where marrijanna is legal. There has been a great reduction of all drugs in general of overdose by 25% . Proven that cannabis/marrijanna is an exit drug, not a gateway drug. Where the un-justice system has shown to be a gateway to salvery and more crime. Prisoners have increased 10 times greater in the last 40 years and against nature's law.

Legalization Other benefits to public
. Save government(s) literally many billions of dollars in law enforcement costs at all levels.
. It would reduce murders and crime in poor neighborhoods, profiling blacks 4 to 8 times greater
.Reduce the prison population substantially, destroy the cartels, and would essentially end most organized crime and border wars with Mexico.
.The taxation and regulation of its use and sale would increase government revenue.
.Ailing patients could use it. We can rediscover the best medicine known to man.
. Marrijanna smells better than alcohol breath
.Hemp products could be made in mass guality and mass quantity.
.What People put into their bobies is not our government's business. Its illegal status is absolutely absurd

Pot is a weed. Weeds are easy to grow, thus, easy to avoid being taxed for. That has been the only problem from day one.

Yes, death and taxes is an absolute. Many city bylaw try to control what you grow in your garden.
The Government/corporations would have to admit they have been wrong for 85 years. Not til US public survey had 85% approvals of medical marijuana that the Feds would allowed each state to try it. Only way to beat the greedy barbarian from winning all the time. Is when 80,% of the consciousness of the people change the great abuse. Cannabis before 1930s was the greatest medicine known to mankind, they are now just rediscovering it.

If it's legalized then the sensible thing to do is wipe their records clean of pot charges and they are no longer criminals.

I say let's release the non violent pot offenders and replace them with non violent white collar criminals - you know, the people who steal 10X as much from society as guys who grow weed do. Takes more resources since they aren't low hanging fruit, which solves your little issue of what will the cops be doing with all that extra time.

To Wipeout and pardon prior marrijanna charges would be an honourable and ethical thing to do. It's not about that, like deep throat, follow the money and you will find the source of the evil. They stoled and ruin peoples lives and much of their families lives over the most productive and healthy plant in the world.

@Renickulous I'm not saying jail the rich, I'm saying prosecute and jail white collar criminals. That you think one equals the other should tell you a lot about how you view society.

@Castlepaloma Yes, follow the money. Do you have any idea a how much money people make off of the war on some drugs?

The reason weeds ruined lives is only because it's illegal to begin with.

@Renickulous NP. I'm all for making money. I have lots of problems with capitalism, just like I do with communism, or royalty, or the barter system, though.

@1of5

I don't have much problems with capitalism, as it's more of a profit for the people as well as benefits.
Corperationism is different as to it profits more to the greedy wealthy. The top ten Worst things about marrijanna, is its illegal x ten, lots of greed there.

@Castlepaloma the history of weed being illegal is steeped in rascism and profits, mostly rascism for profit (monetary and power accumulation).

No "pure" system will ever work. Pure capitalism inevitably creates corporatism.

@1of5

This can be true like Starwars Luke Skywalker later turning into Dark Vander. I have been there and done that. Now, it's my turn to do it right. It's just this time it's all healthy, above board and moderately. Strong individual have a better chance of walking around the corruption and being a better example in life.

@Castlepaloma It's just this time it's all healthy, above board and moderately.

Regarding capitalism? Lolol

@1of5

I was a world class ferrous competitor once. Now a sharing co-operative and more compassionate. After dealing WG Bush and Trump as clients. I can handle any bully that comes along. Nothing wrong in making, money, just don't be greedy.

@Castlepaloma capitalism encompasses more than just you. That's the problem, and you being a part of that and now rejecting it only shows the system sucks.

Nothing wrong in making money, and greed can be a terrific motivator.

@1of5

My equal balance is realationships, intellect, spiritual, financial and physical. Health is wealth and
wish Happiness was our gross national product.

Loving my work for most waking hours of my life is best motivator. Money is imaginary and unbalancing for many. Money dealing in North America has become too over focused Greed is the greatest evil on the face of the earth from my studies of world human history. What good is money if your health is destoryed and the planet is a flying burning peice of shit.

@Castlepaloma well, good for you, I guess. Maybe we'll all be farting rainbows someday.

Allowing greed to run rampant is never good, but greed motivates people to do things they normally wouldn't. Everything needs a check on it - including capitalism.

@1of5

Maybe Jesus farts steamy heavenly clouds. I know my shit stinks like the rest of us. I would replace the word greed with desire. I would also like to talk about attitude with non-belivers. Although that would get too deep. Middle of the road kind of guy like me, can get run over easily here, even at those other over righteousness sites.
