iff kids enter coffieshops here in the netherlands the owner can get a massssssssiiiiiiiifffffff ticket and alchool may not be sold in the coffieshops

[Mustangandtang]

nah because even though they sell fruits, veggies, ppl still grow it and sell it for less, i think if it was legal, it would reduce the chance factor of dieing,crime, injury because ppl would rather pay more to go to a legitament place to buy (and including avoiding dealers tampered marijuana) it rather than go to a dangerous dealer in a sketchy place.

I just wonder if we have a regulated taxed market, will people really stop growing?

[Mustangandtang]

well actually ill give u the moonshine stuff, forgot about that, but i ment like everywhere alcohol dealers, like drug dealers, you dont really see that because of legalization of alcohol

[Mustangandtang]

ive never heard that and sounds unlikely but ok

[bigtarrose]

Making alcohol is not the same as growing a plant, and yes their is still a huge illegal black market in alcohol, mainly on the praries. And if you get caught with a still the penalties are harsh.

[Mustangandtang]

i have two answers to sum of your comment, ppl will continue to grow regardless, however, ppl grow fruits,spices, vegies, etc. so that wont be an issue. and growers will have to stop because you saw dealers when alcohol prohibition selling and when it became legal, the dealers couldnt sell, there was no point, you dont see a dealer now selling alcohol on the streets

I agree I have an unrealistic idealist attitude but I now don`t think we will see any let up in the laws. Canada. the Netherlands and the U.K. are opting for stricter laws while Mexico, Spain and Portugal are softening up. I like Mexico`s new stance every drug for personal use will be decriminalized

I like your idea, it reminds me of Marc`s overgrow the basturds, you can`t reason with morons. Nothing has been done since the LeDain Commission, they stick their heads in a hole and laugh at us.

[Robstailey]

I have to agree. But that's in an ideal world, and it's simply not going to happen with the fascist motherfuckers running the world today.

However, if it does get legalized I'm gonna buy some seeds and grow fields of weed. Screw the government, they're not getting my money.

[bigtarrose]

I am for complete legalization without regulation and free from tax. No half-hearted bullshit like decrim or drugged-driving and we will pay our taxes, because with regulation you get a whole lot of new laws. It`s like a plea bargain against full legalization. It was completely legal for 5000 years with no problems. It`s all or nothing, we might as well accept the status quo, if you can`t smoke a joint and drive a car or have to pay Amsterdam prices because of increasing taxes.
