Alright, time for Beachbum to go on a drug tangent;
Alright, the legalization of marijuana in any country is loving stupid. If legalization happens, then the ghetto's will get even worse, the "good" dealers who don't deal with hard drugs; meth, crack, coke, heroin etc etc etc will have to to resort to dealing those drugs because their cash crop (marijuana) has been legalized. Once/If mmj gets legalized, it'll be grown the same way tobacco is, it'll have stuffloads of pesticides, stuffloads of artificial chemicals pumped into it, and it'll be grown to make mass amounts of money for only the government to prosper off of. They'll mass produce it, tax the hell out of it, and make it terrible for you. Want to know how I know this? Because I'm a loving realist. Look at anything any government does, and don't take this as a woo take down the man /hippie rant, i mean it literally. Once the government gets their hands on something that they can make billions off of, they make it seem like it's the greatest thing in the world, examples; alcohol, tobacco/cigarettes, and heroin. Yes, you read that right, at one point Heroin was a mass-produced medicine. Pretty forgeted up isn't it? But look now, it's a schedule 1 narcotic. The same schedule as marijuana. If you've ever smoked weed, tell me how much more dangerous it is than heroin. Because I've been smoking it for about 4 years now, and I'm still alive. And my buddy Erin who started doing heroin around the same time I started smoking pot? oh yeah, he's dead. he died of heroin comatose.
/end rant.
