Well currently the government makes more money fining and prosecuting pot smokers and feeding the prison industrial complex by persecuting peaceful people excerising their personal freedom to enjoy the worlds most harmless drug than they would taxing the legal sale of marijuan to begin with. Thats the whole root of the current marijuana problem in the US. If you ask me, a devout pothead by the way, I'de rather pay a little more to get a bag legaly at a store, then perpetuate the boldface injustice that current marijuana laws inflict on me and my completely undeserving peers.

Not in this life time man.

There have been bills proposed before they've just all been rejected.

Remember this: demonstrate in favour of the bill, and it might increase the chances of it passing.

Woah there, big guy - we potheads might want to sit this one out until they're sure they wanna do this. If it doesn't pass, THEN we can go peacefully demonstrate. However, sitting out in the middle of the street being all high and such wouldn't make those ass-fuckers in congress want to support us all of a sudden.

Nah. We just sit back, and see what happens. Thats probably our best shot at this.

What sense does that make? You have to lobby for the bill to help it get into consideration, not bitch and whine when it gets swept under. Great attitude.

Damn me living in the UK.

Meh, I'm not too hopeful. This has been thrown around for years the majority of bills never make it out of committee. I'm all for it though and think it would benefit the country as a whole.

Holy shit did I just see somebody loathing the UK due to something about the USA?

Pigs are flying.

[DumbassDude]

Too bad it will get rejected just like all the other proposals.

If it passes in the USA and everything is fine, the UK will follow, because we are like that.
