Think they already have production, taxation and the rest taken care of already...

Have you heard of "spray" THC... developed and being used in England right now.. and is on trail in Canada... since 2005...

Would appear the direction is and has been set ... it will be made by the Phamasutical Companies, Control and taxed by the Federal and State Governments (AZ just passed a law to tax an illegal substance, pot) and the new approved product will be sold like anything else...

It will be interesting to see if "funding" programs is more important that not smoking pot .... cuz they are going to smoke it whether it is legal or not...

Another problem... where is Mexico going to sell all that good pot they grow... China? here the Chinese are taking vacations to Amsterdam ... to see what freedom is all about.. yeah and they hit the smoke shops big time.... :lol::lol:

Additionally, lotsa folks grow their own tomatoes. But that hasn't put much of a dent in supermarket profits. Bottom line, and I agree with Wiley, this is a capitalist system, wherein the government will do what is necessary to provide an infrastructure for industry to make a profit.

In every practical sense, pot is legal in CA. San Diego medical pot storefronts are stepping all over each other selling the stuff. Pot stores are beginning to outnumber coffee shops. Check out the last several pages of The Reader, a free weekly rag that's been around forever, 1/4, 1/2 page color ads for all kinds of pot and "edibles". Tell the doc associated with the store you have insomnia and you have a Rx.

I haven't seen any medical pot store profit stats but I bet they're raking it in, nice medical specialty if you're a lazy MD. I think it's $60 an 1/8 with specials for first time customers.

But legalize everything?

IMHO legalizing dangerous, addictive drugs is a real bad idea. Pot is neither dangerous (bad for your lungs tho) nor addictive (for most people).

Is there any other medical treatment that is less expensive?


Ah, you're pullin' my leg aren'tcha?

Legalize it, tax it, and mandate a 10% cut in expenditures (sworn officers - not civilians) at every police agency in California. State and city budget problems solved. No more war on drugs = peace dividend.

Doug, I think the current budget crisis has already taken care of that 10% cut in sworn officers throughout California. The budgets still aren't solved.
