Why don't we legalize weed? The taxes alone would pay for universal healthcare

Why don't we legalize weed? The taxes alone would pay for universal healthcare.

Why has nobody thought about this before? WHY DOES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT STILL HAS ITS HEAD STUCK IN SAND?

If you've had any experience with the government they will just spend it on stupid stuff before they spend it on the useful stuff.
Plus, we already tried government mandated healthcare.

Because hating weed is virtue signaling for the right. There's no damage done by medical marijuana, and anyone who wants to smoke weed recreationally is already buying it; banning it has done nothing.

It's a drug like any other, and is illegal for a reason.

The government should not encourage drug usage by making them legal

>paying taxes on a fucking weed

I'm doing my residency in a Canadian mental hospital right now and believe it or not 10% of our new admits are due to butane hash oil (shatter). Schizophrenia effects 1.6% of our population and costs our healthcare system more than cancer.

The math miiiiiight not work out

Canada supossed to legalize weed. Trudeau is a fucking cuck liar

Because people are stupid, and politicians pander to people.

fuck off leaf

Long-term marijuana usage can and will fuck up your brains

I was a daily smoker for over 15 years, imo it is poison. Should it be illegal? No. I don't feel it should be the governments job to decide what you put in your body as long as the person is well informed of the pros/cons.

If it's illegal to collect rain water for drinking or watering a garden in all 50 states, you bet your bottom dollar that federally controlled marijuana will he an exorbitant luxury and exacerbate the already flourishing black market industry and strife it brings.

because he would have to make it illegal again when sharia law comes in to appease the mudslimes

at least he has /some/ forethought

>illegal to collect rain water

but...why?

FUCKING THIS

t. fat asian kid

>illegal to collect rainwater
the fuck?

I'm guessing it has something to do with the refilling of natural aquifers but cmon, "land of the free" my ass.

...

So that you pay for water.

>If you've had any experience with the government they will just spend it on stupid stuff before they spend it on the useful stuff.

Pretty much this.

>Plus, we already tried government mandated healthcare.

That's because you did it wrong from the start. Besides, what you're talking about isn't the same as the textbook definition of "universal healthcare" that I can only assume OP is referring to.

So close to a fpbp, yet so far.

humid states don't care but rhode island will give you money back for it lol

>House Bill 7070 (2012) created a tax credit for the installation of cisterns to collect rainwater. Any individual or business that installs a cistern on their property to collect rainwater for use in their home or business is entitled to a state income tax credit of 10 percent of the cost of installing the cistern not to exceed $1,000. Each entity is allowed only one tax credit over the life of the cistern unless they are replacing an existing cistern with a larger cistern and have not received the maximum tax credit of $1,000. A cistern is defined as a container holding fifty or more gallons of diverted rainwater or snow melt, either above or below ground (Rhode Island General Laws ยง 44-30-28).

Yes, legalizing a drug is a source of income for the government. However, the government has to give up all the employees who's job is to control the criminal distribution of the drug. There is no government on the entire planet who accepts to reduce their number of employees. All government wants to grow and only grow, they receive infinite free money from the population for as long as they can make excuses as to why they need to grow. Any government on the planet would be glad to trade off a source of income (a legalized drug) if it means they get to keep their boogeyman (the evil drug trade) which they need to justify their constant need to grow.

>not getting ur medical card with a 6 gram a day prescription ,

medical weed is tax deductable in canada

Gays and weed get the GOP into shit

Guns and Environmental regulations get the dems into shit

this. I'm sick of hearing these fucking "420blaze it weed is a miracle drug faggots" but it shouldn't be illegal.

The timeline weedman announced was spring 2017. So i'll happily join you in calling for the ouster of weedman if/when July comes around and still no weed. Until then i will give him benefit of the doubt on this issue. He hasn't broken that promise... yet.

I smoke one joint in a week. 0.7 gramm in a joint. will this fuck me up?

Believe it or not, some people aren't so Jewish that they care about money more than morality.

>less than a gram a week

nigger you better be joking

If you are already smoking but don't know the answer to that question you are a fucking idiot.

The answer is no.

Used to do 1.75g in a week
Can I be cool?

That's not too much, you'll probably be fine. As long as you feel good and don't have any memory or concentration problems (among others), you're good to go.

Obama had the opportunity to legalize weed too and didn't even try.

Morality = some faggot claiming higher authority so he can tell you what to do while doing whatever and whoever he wants behind the curtain. Fucking hypocrites.

> legalize it
> regulate like alcohol
> tax it
> MAGA

kikes.

DUDE

Man I had really great haze yesterday. That stuf bombed the shit out of me.

Smoking one joint a week assures, that you will get fucking baked everytime u smoke. Surely it has to be good stuff.

There were times where I smoked a lot more and I am telling you guys, smoking more then once in a week will fuck you up sooner or later.

I am even thinking about smoking one joint in two weaks but when the weekend comes, I really want to smoke a joint. Just let the stressful week behind you and chill.

Op, most prisons are run for profit by private corporations that make on average $15,000 a year per prisoner in their prisons.

These corporations, which include Wells Fargo and Halliburton, make nearly a billion dollars a year managing prisons and they pay lobbyists to make certain that marijuana is never legalized in order to protect their business.

This system of legalized corruption is known as the prison industrial complex.

>tfw can't smoke cause I got a cold

I'm for everything that kills degenerates quicker. Weed is for pussies

>Why don't we legalize weed?
Because its a decision that should be left up to the individual states.

dude it will help recovering you. Just lit it up

>smoking anything while sick
I'm not a retard

- tobacco lobby
- alcohol lobby
- private prison lobby

>illegal for a reason
I'm sure that you have thoroughly researched this topic and you have a sound and well-reasoned argument in support of this statement

Alcohol is legal and a recreational drug. Prohibition of weed just put's people in jail to live off our tax money

Fucking stoners man.

The jews. Marjuana can be grown in backyards, meanwhile alcohol and cigarettes and drugs cant.

I have the exact same experience. Just doing it once or twice a week is much better, I also only do it in the weekends, when I've done everything I had to do. That way I don't get undisciplined, which was also a side-effect to my usage when I used too much/often.
Just keep up only doing it in the weekend, it's fine and a great stress reliever.

>weed's good for you bro, it cures cancer

Do you really think the government earns nothing marijuana because it's illegal?

It's a big fucking business, man. Legalising it would mean actually having proof you're getting paid, thus it becomes harder to keep the money in your own pocket.

That's just not true, you can easily make alcohol at home, and grow tobacco or any other plant-based drug in your garden. That is, if the climate you live in allows it.

>live in Toronto
>perfectly healthy
>walk into dispensary
>buy a quarter ounce of pineapple express, $79.10 CAD
>smile as I realize my tax dollars will be paving roads, funding healthcare and other public services
>walk out
>take the perfectly clean and punctual TTC subway home

If you can't figure out how to get weed in Canada, you are retarded.

shatter and bud are just a tiny bit different though, don't you think user? and alcoholism probably takes a much bigger toll on our economy than schizophrenia but that's still legal. why?

You think it's poison because you abused the shit out of it. Some of us are mature adults with self control.

If you can provide a link showing me someone developing mental health issues from BHO I'll stop dabbing every day like I have been for 3 years. Also there is no causal link between weed and psychosis. People who suffer from psychosis are more likely to use drugs but it's unconfirmed whether those drugs are the cause

What if I'm pro gays, pro weed, pro guns, and pro environmental protection? Who will actually do something besides bicker about party politics?

>It's illegal for a reason gay

t. william randolph hearst

Trump will decriminalize it right before 2020 election.

Exactly. Use it as a reward when you get your shit done and you'll be just as productive.

I smoked weed while I had a little bug one time. Basically I was just really congested. Weed cleared me up instantly and I actually felt a lot better. Worked better than Mucinex.

Nothing since unless you are Trump you roll with the party to actually get shit passed.

Who the fuck is going to stop you if you do that?

That's all well and good, but that doesn't apply to shit like meth and heroine.
There is no correct why to take those drugs.

You WILL get addicted, and at the point you're not consenting adult with autonomy. The drugs are calling the shots, and junkies will do anything to get a fix including crime. Which they WILL turn to because you can't support meth and heroine habits when you turn into an unstable junkie.

Politics are so depressing.

Starting to venture into the retardation zone where people hate stoners.

Don't fucking smoke weed for decongestant.

I smoked weed because it's fun, there just happened to be a positive side effect.

That's called corruption and it's exactly why it needs to be legalized.
Not only are we paying for a pointless drug war while massive pedo rings go unchecked, but the same people who push for that war are profiting on it behind the scenes.
If you live in a big city there is a good chance that some of your police chiefs are selling and taking drugs. They are above the law as long as the people who aren't in on it don't know.

It stinks like skunk ass and turns its users into welfare leeches. It's not something the people of a productive society indulge in.

it was legal a long time ago

Wasn't Trump going to replace Obamacare with something better?

It was clearly a coincidence.

Tell me how smoke would empirically cause decongestant.

Oil for cancer and other treatments, and hemp are the only things I can approve of. But if it becomes legal, nothing will change expect we can tax it. People that want to use are going to use legal or not. Everyone already has access because everyone knows someone who uses cannabis. I would not care if it was legalized or not.

>legalize weed
As if modern (((culture))) isn't lazy, whiny, weak and self-indulgent enough without it.
>universal healthcare
You've been memed. It's not sustainable. It goes from having to wait 1 month to see a specialist to 2 year long waiting lists in a couple of years when the government decides it'll cut it 1% at a time to save money for other pointless shit.
>nobody thought of this b---

>1 post by this ID
Fuck.

You're telling me you've never smoked and started spitting a bunch until your mouth was dry (cotton mouth) and blew your nose until it was completely dry?

That happens to me literally every single time I smoke. I don't know if that happens to everyone but that's just me.

>most prisons
nice meme, mind to back it with some figures?

Smoke of any kind causes inflammation which would thin the bronchial passages.

Not to mention it wouldn't do anything to thin mucous.

You really just said it yourself. The weed didn't do anything to decongest, but you felt more inclined to put effort into blowing your nose and such.

Keep Psychedelics Winning

This x100. Now ban alcohol. Junkie scum BTFO.

>tfw couldn't smoke even if I wanted to because asthma

>Alcohol is legal
>implying this is good thing and should not be changed

Why would I want government regulating something the private market already handles 100x better?

>Russian
>talking shit about alcohol

I don't buy it, Kalashnikov.

You could probably handle vaping

>fuck gun laws I have the freedom to own my full auto rifle
>fuck weed you shouldn't have the right to put a substance in your body

I don't really care if it's just because of a placebo effect or whatever, as long as it works then it's a small added benefit. I don't smoke weed for medicinal purposes, I do it to get high and relax every now and then.

>Should it be illegal?
Yes.

>don't feel it should be the governments job to decide what you put in your body
You are wrong. Government should, can and will do that. And nothing degenerate like you can about that. Scum BTFO.

You don't have the right to put bullets in your body.
Why should you have the right to inject weed you dirty hippie?

>I don't buy it, Kalashnikov.
>he doesn't know that anti alcohol campaign in the late USSR had great success.
Too bad Yeltsin traitor stopped it by the order of Soros.

Nice false equivalence

I think it was satire, buddy.

If you buy gun for the sole reason of self hurting you would be denied. People with mental health problems (suiciders are one of them) can't own guns by law. BTFO.

Try investing in a volcano

Actually a full auto is all but illegal for most people.

WEED

Ill put bullets wherever and in whoever i godamn want. Whats the government gonna do if i kill myself? Send me to jail?

>Whats the government gonna do if i kill myself?
Try to save your life and take your guns away forever :^)
