Legalize Marijuana to pay for the "Public Option".

They buy from a dealer because their mom's don't let them grow it in her house, and if they did so their exposure to arrest is greater. It's called weed because it grows like, well, a weed.

Why must you assume that all pot smokers are kids.The fact is that as a long time pot smoker Id really like to go to the store and buy it.

LOL Another doper. There is very little tax revenue that would be gained by legalizing a weed that anyone with a windowsill and a pot of dirt can grow for free.

Yeah, you can tell because everybody grows their own Tobacco.

This assumes many things that are inconvenient to that argument. People are lazy, and regular smokers more so than many. It is far easier to hit the store and buy some MJ candy (so you don't bother the neighbors with the smell) or a bag and a vapor pipe (another way not to bother the neighbors), or you can go to the restaurant that laces the food with it...

There are many, many ways of ingesting this stuff. It's silly to assume that people wouldn't sell the products or that the generally lazy population will be growing MJ plants in their windows...

It's cheaper and you don't have to pay sales tax if you grow an herb garden in your windowsill, yet there are shelves of herbs that are easily grown at the grocery store. It's cheaper and you don't have to pay sales tax to grow your own vegetables, etc. People don't want to do this stuff, and the product that they can buy is usually of far greater quality than they can produce on their own.

The only dope on this thread is you for making ridiculous statements without all the facts.

The fact is that if you tried to grow MJ on a "windowsill" with "a pot of dirt" you wouldn't get enough MJ to keep you happy for a month. Unless your "pot of dirt" was a 5 gallon bucket, which might kinda stick out on anyone's windowsill, you wouldn't be able to generate a big enough root system to get a plant big enough to produce any meaningful quantities.

Finally, common sense. The fact is just legalizing marijuana will not make enough income to solve the crisis. Not only would it continue to be grown illegally with no taxes but the majority of heavy smokers could not afford to buy it. I haven’t even touched the facts on the effects THC has on the brain with long-term use...

Common sense: we need to raise taxes to realistic levels. Pot taxes help.

THC is good for your brain!
 
I am pretty sure there would be little support for a raise of taxes, even less then there is for marijuana legalization.

Good for the brain?
 
I simply do not think people would use it in moderation, just like alcohol. Though it is not a bad idea to use marijuana to help the economy, it would be hard to believe that it could solve the problem.

Again, Good for the brain?

When I was younger, farmers used to have to cut this out of the run off ditches; because it would clog up the ditch.
