Because NORML is trying to have an adult conversation and libertarianism is political philosophy for 13 year olds.
id say the two main parties are the 13 year olds since they both like to stomp their feet and bitch (or shut down the government) when they dont get their way

1. Leaglize pot
2. Tax it
3. ?????
4. Profit!

"Oregon medical marijuana dispensaries have sold an estimated $102 million in recreational cannabis since January, when the state imposed a 25 percent sales tax on pot.

The state has collected about $25.5 million in marijuana taxes in the first six months of the year and is on track to meet state economists' projections."

That article is so full of fail.
The stats quoted are wrong - ie teen usage is down, traffic fatalities have fallen, not risen as stated in the article.

...and oh lookie here... Elisha Figueroa the author just happens to be the administrator of the Governor’s Office of Drug Policy.

Must try harder :rofl:

"The fifth-grader, who had just finished a D.A.R.E anti-drug program at school, spotted a dispensary and asked why marijuana was being sold legally in their hometown. McPheeters didn’t have a good answer."

Oh boy... she's gonna have a good time in a few years. :rofl:

Didn't have a good answer...

No speculation yet of whether el presidente elect will let Cali's recreational use slide?
Am disappoint son.... Although I guess you have a lot to get your heads around at the mo.

In other green fingered news.
In NZ the country where famously a Customs agent busting someone with grass at the airport stated (on camera)
"bringing Marijuana into NZ? Why don't you try smuggling a sheep in while you're at it!!!"

A judge is pissy as the police refuse to charge a man with possession for commercial supply.
The police don't want to prosecute the guy for commercial supply, judge insists they do.

I've said it in a couple other threads as a side note, but I'm pretty sure the "legal" pot industry died on Nov 8. Especially if Christie winds up as AG. All this state legalization isn't going to mean shit when the feds start raiding grows and shops again.

I didn't know that there was an Aggrandizing Gasbag position. But you have to admit - Christie is a shoe-in for that.

As far as legal pot goes... I don't think they'll be able to put Pandora back in the box at this point. It's too late.

It's a plant that grows under the sun. Just add water...

They can try and try to keep it on lock down until it is fully exploitable by big pharmacy. The problem is that it's too easy to grow and has widespread availability around the globe. This isn't something that's hard to produce and only under controlled environments. In other words, it's highly unlikely they can monopolize it unless by brute force. Unfortunately they have arraigned it through the DEA to be pursued in this fashion.

But how did rigging the primaries work out for Hillary... the same will go when they try to clamp down on the herb after these flood gates have opened.

The real $$$ and future is in developing a national hemp crop and market anyways.

To quote our impending AG. "I used to like the KKK until I found out they smoked pot". Looks like ya just might have to burn crosses instead of blunts to get your chill on.

Read that this morning. I find myself in a position of suddenly being glad I didn't invest any money in a grow over the last year.
