I'm tired of all the murders, stupidity and violent crime associated with pot smokers. They are pathetic creatures with IMO no consideration of others. (probably because of the brain changes due to their addiction)
The more of these places closed, the better.
Where are your stats and proof of all this murder etc. associated with pot smokers- it isnt the smokers, it is the drug gangs-legalize it and there would be no more crime associated with pot smokers than with alcohol drinkers, probably a lot less.
After watching Ken Burns 'Prohibition' this week it strikes me that you substitute marijuana wherever the words alcohol, beer, etc. are used and the truths would remain-it was stupid to outlaw alcohol and it is just as stupid to outlaw marijuana. It is a stupid country that outlaws one of the most useful plants that mankind has yet come across. I am sure the oil and lumber industries have a big concern with legalizing hemp as hemp would remove much of their profits once the hemp oil and hemp fibers took over the markets for each of these industries products.
Everyone talks of job creation in this country- just lagalize growing marijuana and there will be a lot of jobs created.
The truth of the matter is that if pharmaceutical companies could find a way to make a profit from marijuana I assure you would be available everywhere as a OTC med. The irony of the situation is that the every state in the US needs money and legalizing pot would be a huge windfall. Philadelphia, PA is saving roughly 2 million dollars a year by not enforcing pot laws for small quantities. 25% of all prisons are low level drug users. Imagine the savings, not to mention the revenue from taxes on pot. This would also stop or at least reduce all the drug crap that is happening in Mexico. It is a win-win for everybody. However, money talks and unless big business can tap it, well, it just isn't going to happen.

well i think the time is coming for a massive take to the streets day for the legalization of marijuana.. it's going to take millions of people to take to the streets to stop this insanity.. all people the smoke mj, and all people that do not smoke it, should get off their asses and do something about it.!!! do you want a better country with more jobs, revenue and less violence.. or would you rather go with the status quo..
i hope that they do shut down the mj dispensaries,, cause!!!!>> it's going to backfire in there faces.. the wall street protesters will get a lot of fuel if they acually go ahead and shut them down...

At the end, it is a local/state matter, not federal. As a personal user though, I wouldn't be on the ''legalize and regulate'' bandwagon. It varies but most of cost of alcohol is tax, same will happen with marijuana, it will be much more expensive. Heavily regulating(which they'll do) and charging at least double for something for something that essentially grows itself will prove more problematic than most people realize. (Safe and convienient) Alcohol and sythesized drugs don't grow so easily
I find it funny folks squealing about states rights when something they want is being taken away. Did any of these same potheads say a word when the fed sued Arizona for passing immigration laws? Nah but by God if they take my pot away the world will end. Go hit your blunt and stop crying. Now you just gotta get off your butt and put the chip bag down and go find your dealer again.

I really don't give 2 hoots about this issue right now though, it's like flipping your car over and worrying about the windshield washer fluid level, and yeah the can stick it where the sun don't shine regarding the Arizona immigration issue(among many others)
