1. If it happens in one state, it will eventually branch out to the rest. "Oh, look how much money California is making, well let's do that too!" 2. Same as #1 3. Sure it is rediculously easy if you have the proper lights, the proper place to put it, the time to do it etc etc. Plus it would take WEEKS to grow it when you can just easily pick up a bag at the store. Like I said before, convenience is the factor. Plus, what happens if you screw up growing the plant? Say you forget to give it the proper sunlight...then you're screwed and you have to grow another one. Couple more weeks added. If it was so easy to grow it, people wouldn't need dealers. Everyone would grow it themselves. 4. Of course there would have to be. It said in the "blog" that it is for people over 21. I'm sure it would be considered just like alcohol meaning no smoking at work, operating a vehicle etc etc. 5. Same as 2 and 4 6. The black market will cease to exist. Some day you're "dealer" will be out of his shit, so he has to go to the store to pick up some to sell to you. If he has to go to the store, he is going to upcharge etc etc. Or if your dealer is out of his shit that day, you will simply go to the store and get it. 7. This is a good point. I have no debate over this. But this is where discipline comes in to factor. If you can't control yourself eating, that is your own stupid fault. Marijuana WILL be legal within the next 20 years. That is what I'm predicting. Why not? Alcohol is legal and it is wayy worse than Marijuana. It would be a good thing to tax. It would help the economy. Of course regulations will need to be in place just like any other thing.
