i know little of harry potter but it seems to me like there is no reason to score regular goals in its game

why is the one golden ball worth so much? it devalues all other aspects of the sport

also it sounds really lame lol harry potter sucks

first of all, as always, i'm tired of the constant star wars tributes.

secondly i don't think star wars or bacon can be considered memes. star wars is a movie and bacon is a food.

why would people buy pot illegally if they could buy it at a pot store? you seem to think that the marijuana sold commercially would have to be more expensive. pot is not hard to grow and the majority of it's current market price (my "roommate" sells) is due to the cost of shipping it, the number of people in the chain of sales, and the risk involved. the lack of a constant supply also allows for people to sell it at higher prices. when people hear that somebody has stuff in they are willing to shell out because they don't know when they will get to buy again. my "roommate" who sells has to buy it from a higher up drug dealer and he buys it from a pusher who maybe buys it from a runner who either gets it from cali or canada or mexico. that's a long ways and a lot of people.

i think the issues that alex originally raised, the netherlands mob run weed sales and californias crime raise are both issues of supply and demand.

the supply does not meet the demand, it accommodates the medical demand for marijuana but the recreational users are still willing to pay high prices for it making it a lucrative substance to steal or sell independently.

one of the consequences of legalized marijuana would be a much lower cost for the average consumer. people would buy pot like booze or cigarettes. the prohibition era gives us a golden example of a highly lucrative illegal trade which was completely obliterated by legalization. nobody sells booze illegally anymore and nobody robs liquor stores to resell the booze.

if anybody could buy pot that was grown and distributed by corporate pot farms the price would be low and there would be no reason to contact a drug dealer (who might have seedy ties) rather than walking down to a drug store and buying some legally.

legalization only works if it's wholesale. scarcity drives criminal activity. the netherlands experiment was ill conceived and californias current established weed laws only put a small dent in the illegal pot market.

on the subject of cocaine and meth and prostitution, those things are not pot. meth tears your body apart. heroin killed my friend. cocaine really isn't that bad. and prostitution is alright by me as long as the whores get tested. as human beings we have to examine everything and make individual judgment calls. sweeping generalizations are worthless and i feel that weed passes every rational qualification for legality.

i don't smoke pot, i used to in highschool, but now i'm just not into it.

that having been said, i am 100% for the legalization of marijuana. it will reduce the number of pointless incarcerations in this country, will weaken the mexican drug cartels who currently murder an astounding number of people in both mexico and the united states, and will be a great boon to the economy.

pot is lame, it makes you lazy and pointless, the true opiate of the masses, but it's harmless to bystanders and people already smoke it despite it's illegality.

the money that drug cartels make off of pot could be going to us. job creation is also a good benefit.

the social stigma is slowly decreasing, although it's legalization today might cause quite a stir, i hope for the good of our country that it will soon become less disputed.

also, everybody who says "it will never happen" should look into the long list of other things that people have lauded as impossible throughout history. the idea that what is impossible to imagine is impossible to achieve is a a fallacy that never ends.

whenever i have heard this issue discussed, people on both sides of the discussion seem to have absolutely no knowledge of the important factors whatsoever thereby making their discussion of the subject about as worthwhile as listening to goats try and play trumpets.

it is a simple fact that whenever a new technology is proposed some otherwise intelligent scientist will say "that's impossible" even though thirty years ago they were the ones proposing the new advancement while their elders barks "impossible" at them.

how these smart people manage to be so dumb is beyond me, nobody learns from history, and dune is the best novel ever.

as far as i know i'm the only person in the world with a dune tattoo (i always mention this when dune comes up)
