One of the best local bloggers offers an important 1st person perspective on capitalism and the lure of desperately needed state revenue striking the final blow in the losing drug war against marijuana.

LR Blog: Legal Pot - California Turns a Liability into an Asset
Money line:
"California is making 28% to 33% on all pot purchases. If you consider the money California was spending on pot prohibition before pot was legalized, California is making a lot more than 28% to 33% on the deal."
You decide . . .
You should really factor in the decline in IQ along with a loss of productivity.
ReplyDelete^^^^^ Why? Nobody makes those calculation with booze and that kills way more people and brain cells.
ReplyDeleteThe War on Drugs was, at its core, a racist attack against minorities.
ReplyDeleteWhite Privilege usually keeps white stoners out of prison.
So what’s wrong with that? An attack on minorities? That’s a good thing.
DeleteRacist everywhere, even in conversation's about weed. Lay off that crap and join the human race.
ReplyDeletePot is turning California into a real paradise.
ReplyDeleteJust ask the tent dwellers in L.A. and S.F. .
^^^^Would that explain our homeless encampments as well? Or would high housing prices be more likely to cause homelessness?
ReplyDeleteLock 'um up. Let's jail the cigarette smokers and drinkers, too. And any woman who's ever had an abortion. And any adult male who doesn't own a gun. Tony for president!!
ReplyDeleteNow @ 7:46, let's be fair, let's lock up any man who's had an abortion too!
ReplyDeleteTKC is the wrong place for nuanced discussion on anything. It's posters lack the mental capacity to read Dick and Jane books at a coherent level let alone issues as complex as drug legalization. Some of TKC's "brightest" posters consist of a geriatric, racist, retard named chuck who continually thinks the left wants him dead instead of realizing that it's really everybody including his family, and his gay lover stupid dave who reads, writes, and thinks at a pre-kindergarten level. This place is just a place for geriatrics waiting to die to spend their worthless days arguing about the "coloreds" and how bad everything is. Wasteland!
ReplyDelete^^^^ so we'll see you in a couple of hours when you keep reading and trying to troll with your equally lame bullshit. You complaint to much about a blog you're commenting on @8:48 Monday morning.
ReplyDeleteIn other words, you're full of shit.
Complaining about lack of nuance of other commenters is the most nuanced post that 8:48 has ever made, or ever will make. Nosce te ipsum, 8:48!
ReplyDeleteMissouri will never legalize marijuana because some of the people who smoke are black.
ReplyDelete^^^Exhibit A, that 8:48AM is dead on the money.
