Lou Dobbs: Legalize Pot to Save the California Economy

[willjablome]

amsterdam has the lowest crime rate in the free world is it because pot is legal. maybe maybe not but if you number lovers check you will see that murder rate lowest, rape same violent crime of all classes lowest in the world. the lie " if we make it legal more people will use it . legal beer doesnt create drunks nor does the prescibing of oxycodone to people who need for a normal life make for more addicts the us is billions in debt think of tax money it will create as a plus

I think we really need to consider legalizing online casino and poker like the UK did, and did it well. I promise it will not corrupt the moral fiber of the US people. In fact I'll bet on it:) if someone would like to have a real constuctive conversaton on the subject, look me up.

@sunpokerdotcom The government job is not to amke sure there citizens follows morality.

This pisses me off to the point that I can't make a relevant comment on it.

1- The fact is that when a substance is legalized the use of that goes down... liquor and tobacco are great examples.

2- the fact is that we already have this "Intoxicant" in our markets. This argument is bogus... the only way you could say that is to just not acknowledge reality...

3- I like smoking ganja and it is a violation of my civil liberties for the state to try to make me stop.

Police want the budgets associated with Pot

policing ,they get to keep most of the proceeds

of the busts.

So you can not expect a straight answer from them.

Govt does like the idea as Pot leads to peopole thinking too much the last thing the Govt wants is to see a cognizant society.

its ridiculous to associate marijuana automatically to a "poor or criminal" society. marijuana did not become illegal until the 1930s.... while humans have been walking this Earth for thousands of years, how in the hell can the united states government claim to be all knowing? the united states is a horrible example of a properly functioning society, i'm shamed to live in a country where i can be arrested for using MEDICATION to get rid of my headaches. we are fascist.

The cost to society would be a lot more? No you ignorant woman. Just the amount of people who may smoke pot instead of drinking will offset and improve society. As for the people smoking in their living room at home or the hippies on the beach, what social harm are you talking about? Oh, what about all the drug dealers you will put out of business? Stop to think bitch.

Fact: Weed will be legalized because we do not want to spend money policing it, plus that means cigs are going to hit a rock and thank god... GO WEED

Calvina fay is so full of shit.

She has no fucking idea what she is talking about.

As far as it causing the mexican cartels to be more violent, NO.

Weed is a very small portion of their profits.

[jrapidfire]

actually, I'm sure weed is a very large part of their profits. 60% of it or so accounts for all of their drug trafficking sales. legalizing it here would put a major dent in their business.

[voznow7]

hahahhaha. No way they can keep it illegal forever. Way too much time/money wasted, and its pretty hard for them to seize cash/assets.

[50Lobo]

Legalize! Please!

[honeybees1]

Fuck Lou.
