Ron Paul-- a voice of reason in a sea of insanity. God bless you Dr. Paul

@FiveofHearts1 Get the word out for a Presidential run in 2012! I already have Ron Paul bumper stickers on my car.

@DJAnthonyWill

You mean you didn't have them on there already? :)

[13AJJONES]

IF you cant see the devistation in your face, open youe eyes.!!

it is 90000000000000000% worse NOW ! THAN B-4 THIS SHIT STARTED !

[mindinclined]

@terahybrid Agreed, that's why fraud should be prosecuted.

@Syphalis1 lol I told you I agree with you more than you think.

there is a black market relatively speaking how else will the cool kids get the tobacco and alcohol.

I would expect the judge to have self prudence on you, but seems to me most dont know up from down anymore, you will rot in prison as an example and the career crook will get a day in jail maybe.

I'm not against Legalization & Regulation of POT, what I dont like and hear often is drugs=pot which is not

[Syphalis1]

@terahybrid I thought we might be on similar pages.

But yes, assuming it was not taxed at ridiculous amounts, it WOULD eliminate the black market. There's no black market for tobacco and alcohol... even though they do have relatively high taxes on them.

Drugs are not cheap. Bought any lately? ; )

They are expensive because of the risk associated with them. And again, you keep saying "Jail the dealers". What if I sell a small amount of pot to my best friends, jail for me?

Legalize & Regulate

[terahybrid]

@mindinclined I don't want to tax it to death, but it will be taxed to death eventually look at the alcohol and tobacco history, its a great state revenue from people that wont dispute a tax increase each year.

I don't care what they sell, what I don't like is people convincing or tricking you what a great awesome idea is eating fatty foods, and cars that pollute, a huge house you cant afford etc..., you know what I mean it's the people that will sell their own mother for a dollar.

[mindinclined]

@terahybrid You don't have to tax it to death. I'm merely suggesting that the tax revenue from normal sales taxes and business can go towards prevention and treatment. What's so awful about that?

I guess you just want to jail people the sell things you don't agree with. Would you agree with jailing anyone that pollutes the air with a car? Or eat fatty foods? Or how about people that f*** in strange positions? As soon as you open the door to regulate personal habits, that is the slippery slope.
