The Ultimate Argument For Legalizing Weeeeeeed
Last week, San Francisco Assemblyman Tom Ammiano bravely introduced reasoned, serious legislation about confronting, revising, and ultimately turning Californias oppressive marijuana laws to our benefit. In these trying economic times, it just makes sense. Thats why Im throwing my full support behind Assemblyman Ammiano, and in fact, to honor his brave act, Im going to take ten massive bong rips before continuing to write this.
There. The deed is done.
And before all you conservative naysayers start accusing me of "devilry," allow me to prove without a doubt that the legalization of marijuana sales will actually decrease crime and overall drug use. This assumption is based on three basic arguments.
1. Legalizing marijuana will put drug cartels out of business
Every year, hundreds of people are maimed and killed and millions of dollars are lost to brutal and organized illegal drug traffickers. By legalizing and intelligently regulating marijuana consumption we can make it so that this doesnt happen because all those people who did that now have no jobs. Also there will be less people in our jails. My word is it hot here. It's like the room temperature just jumped 20 degrees. Let's see, where was I ... Ah yes.
2. Legalizing marijuana will put drug cartels out of business
No more laced weed! Poople who sell drugs often put lace in the drugs and that is bad. With legal weed, the government (Uncle Sam) will only put in the best ingredients by hand, and therefore no one will be addicted, except to America, and that is okay. I'm going to take my shirt off now.
4. Did you know Jesus smoked weed? Its in the Bible.

ReplyIt won't put drug cartels out of business. It will force the ones who deal exclusively in marijuana to escalate to more dangerous and expensive drugs, which will ultimately lead to more death and general unpleasantness for the folks who they sell it to. Also, it's actually really rare for people to lace their product. Extremely expensive and totally impractical. Marijuana tends to be a repeat business on its own, you don't need to "get people hooked". It's a fail argument and always has been. People are better off with the way it is in Canada (decriminalized but not legalized).
Reply Hide All See All 5 RepliesIncorrect. In areas which have legalized it has lead to a marked decrease in drug cartels. The fact it becomes legal broadens the market, which balances out the decrease in profits. Illicit business becomes less inelastic when it becomes legal, which leads to stronger competition, which leads to an increase in the market, and therefore more people in the business. More people in legal business translates to less people in illegal business; in legalized areas, there was actually a decrease in selling of ALL illegal drugs, not merely pot.
Yeah that's like saying in 1933 legalizing alcohol wouldn't get rid of the speak easy and the gangsters who supplied them. IDK about you but i do not see anymore big time gangsters. It's all about supply and demand. the drug cartels might go to more dangerous drugs, but there is not a market for that. People in the US (in general) are not looking to do hard drugs, just relaxing drugs like Marijuana. And if they were accessible in a legal way it would cut the drug cartels business substantially, would help lower the deficit, and the money i spend will no longer end up in the hands of terrorist, if we would just get our heads out of our asses and legalize it!
Why would someone buy more dangerous drugs if you can smoke weed freely?
Your argument is extremely illogical. The legalization of marijuana would indeed reduce drug cartel profits and cause them to switch out thier marijuana only dealers to harder drugs. BUT, what you forget is that there is no magical rule of society that says if weed is legalized then demand for harder drugs goes up. It will, infact decrease since people must confront drug-dealers to get pot currently which puts them near a source of harder drugs, but legalized weed means the majorit of people who would have to buy from a dealer are never exposed to that type of a market and would thus not even have source of hard drugs if they wanted it. The demand for hard drugs doesnt magically go up if weed is legalized!
Most of the major South American cartels fund the cultivation, processing, and transportation through illegal sale of Cannabis ("Marihuana" being a term coined by William Randolph Hurst to associate it with negative racial views of Mexican immigrants in his smear campaign after Poncho Villa seized several hundred thousand acres of his very profitable timber land). It's a much cheaper crop that can be processed and distributed quickly. Legalization of Cannabis would take away that funding. Putting a huge dent in their ability to manufacture and distribute drugs that actually f**k up people's lives.
Oh, look, another quesadilla!
ReplyMarijuana if one os the leaft harmsul drugf. It if sar leff addicting AND leff dangerouf than alcohol and fmoking, yet alcohol and tobacco remain legal while marijuana ifn't. What kind of sucked up fcale are we judging fubftancef on?
ReplyThey tried to ban alcohol but it didn't exactly work out great. Banning tobacco is a pipe dream. Basically, any body chemistry altering drug that was introduced to western society less than 400 years ago gets banned. BTW, I'm pro legalization
Actually alcohol is older than most other drugs.
IO ad no fukcing culuee waht thiIs artICKLE Wwas abiut
ReplyThat's...The same argument I have for legalizing weed,more or less.I'm not stoned when I make my argument,though.Also,it could get us out of the depression,if the government sells it.And as(I think) you said before passing out,the government weed would be regulated and less dangerous.

ReplyAnd to some of the other folks in the comments section, it is entirely possible to type coherent thoughts when uber-stoned (10+ bong hits). That's how I got through my Bachelors in Accounting and my CPA; and I'm the person that may very well be doing your taxes.
I HAVE TAKEN THE ILLEGAL DRUGS WHICH ARE HEAVILY FEATURED IN THE ABOVE ARTICLE. THIS MAKES ME QUALIFIED TO COMMENT ON HOW UTTERLY RIDICULOUS I FIND IT. DOES THAT MAKE ME COOL NOW GUISE?
ReplyJeeze, make that 6 joints and it's still the shots that'll do it.
ReplyThe ultimate argument for parents; what are the chances of your 15 year old daughter sucking off the football team on six shots of whiskey versus one joint?
ReplyI've been engaged twice in my life. Girl number one was a drinker. She's managed to sleep with forty-seven men, ten during our engagement. Girl number two, my current fiance, is a stoner. She's had three, including me. Your argument, sir, is valid.
