hard to profit from because it IS a weed and, like any weed, can grow pretty much anywhere. Ergo, it's hard to control the supply and if you can't control supply, you can't profit.

But I have a feeling you knew that.

and there is a really nice dispensary right down the street. Instead of a "dealer" I buy from a "caregiver". It's awesome.

The people who want to make it impossible for me and others like me to do so SAFELY and in a classy place have got their heads screwed on all wrong.

but I think people who are loaded 24/7, and not using it medicinally, are boring, forgetful, and repetitive. It should be decriminalized. I'd rather not see the government sanction pot smoking. Teenagers and young adults are better off sober and alert.

I really don't like to be around drinking people - too noisy and obnoxious for me.

Most of the time I can't even tell if people are stoned on grass.

peaceful hippies sharing what they need does not contribute to a capitalist / military-industrial society.

In fact, racism & fear were primary reasons why most drugs were made illegal.

And yet I can't find a single DUer posting on the Civic Literacy Exam thread that made as *low* a score as the average college educator.
