All you gotta do is let the gov't regulate it, and let us farmers grow it like any other crop....which we are pretty good at doing.
Give us a couple of growing seasons, and the price would go down to a penny per pound.
I could prolly fill a semi with the stuff, drive to downtown Detroit, sell it on the street corner, and my profit wouldn't pay for my diesel.

You'd prolly get pushed out of the market by lower priced foreign weed!
Yep, and OUR gov't would prolly be subsidizing them, and sending agri. consultants over there, training them how to grow it !!!
That's exactly what happened in Brazil....we sent hourdes of agri. consultants down there back in the 60's and 70's, and trained them how to grow soybeans....now, they are our biggest competition.

We need to have them send their consultants up here to teach our womens how to do those Brazillians.

You know, the more I ponder having mj legalized, taxed, etc., the less I like the idea. Let's face it, the government could fuck up a wet dream so why would I want them involved in something like this? I watched a news clip the other day where they were discussing the prices of legal pot in Colorado and I was a little shocked at the expense - about double what it sells for here (illegal) plus added tax. This is a good thing?
Another thing is commercialization. I can see it now - Acapulco Gold Filters - no stems, no seeds that you don't need, Acapulco Gold is bad ass weed! Don't need or want General Foods in the pot business.
Just legalize weed and leave it alone.
It'll never happen unless there's big dough involved. That's the only thing that attracts politicians to an issue. Like blue bottleflies to poop.

"Like blue bottleflies to poop." Absolutely! It's always about the money, ain't it.
I guess I kinda look at pot the way I look at the internet. Governments are desperately looking at ways to control, manage and tax the internet and I think that's a bad idea. Same with weed.
Its so easy to grow, I'd imagine it'll have to be high quality and relatively affordable otherwise most people will just grow it. Like homer brewers. Only reason there aren't more of them is good beer is already cheap. Well, I forget, you pay $40 for a case of beer in Canada, but it's cheap here anyway.

Just like moonshine, they'll be folks growing untaxed weed if for no other reason than the romance. The more expensive they make the legal kind the greater the market they'll drive for homegrown.

Interesting old fliers there Airhead. I've seen it both ways, but I wonder when we changed the more common spelling from "marihuana" to "marijuana"?
Hahaha Thump, I never could spell it....I remember as a kid it was a scary name...marijuanaaaaa....My parents said marijuana was how Charles Manson got that way......
Well look at my avatar ... smoking pot is what made me look like this.
I was so handsome to start with, you can't imagine how much smoking it took for me to get to this point!
Because Mary Hane didn't make sense.

We know the truth...
