You know its only illegal because tobacco companies, alcohol companies, big pharma, and private prisons stand to profit from it being illegal right? They're the ones lobbying to keep it illegal. Why are you still being stupid and buying into their propaganda?

just be quiet and smoke your drugs sweetie

If they know it will be a popular product, why don't they just start selling their own strands?
>Muh private prisonz
get off this meme, you think public prisons are somehow better?

>You know its only illegal
Is it illegal? A new dispesory opened in my city of 200k last week. We have about 20 now. I went in to check it out and bought a bit of weed. No ID required, no forms to fill out. Just like buying a can of coke. This store and its competitors advertise.

>why don't they just start selling their own strands?

Kinda hard to profit from something when you can easily grow it at home or buy it cheaper from Pablo down the street. This isn't like fruits and vegetables where companies actually work to keep the product pristine. Anyone can grow a plant.

>get off this meme, you think public prisons are somehow better?

Private prisons profit from incarcerating people. Only on Sup Forums will you find someone defending private prisons.

>If they know it will be a popular product, why don't they just start selling their own strands?
They will. It's already happening in canada.

New Report Says Canada's Cannabis Industry Will Be Dominated By Big Pharma, Tobacco And Alcohol
civilized.life/articles/canadas-cannabis-industry-big-pharma-tobacco-and-alcohol/

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

>He thinks this is the reason pot is illegal.
You're just like the boomers, and you're an idiot.

Most of the people in prison are dangerous niggers and spics. Leave it to a retarded stoner to advocate for freeing dangerous shitskins.

Statistically speaking? Yes. Privatized prison systems have a higher rate of recidivism than public ones, as well as score lower in all areas of safety.

stoners should still be shot. I fired all my employees for smoking pot once they thought it was legal. kicked to the curb and not one goddam thing they can do about it.

>Canada's Cannabis Industry Will Be Dominated By Big Pharma, Tobacco And Alcohol
It won't though, no matter how hard they try. If they use all their tricks and magic in parliament and have all the laws passed required for them to have a monopoly on marijuana, the current "black" market will not go anywhere. Unlike other products, there already is a billion dollar industry in place that tens of thousands of people do entrepreneurial dealings in.
>but they will just arrest and jail people who....
They been trying that for 60 years and demand for marijuana has still grown.

There are more white people in prison than any other demographic. Are you stupid?

What a low IQ response. You might as well not even reply if you were going to make a nothing statement like that.

>Implying everyone inside private prisons are dangerous

Stupid faggot you can literally Google thousands of stories about people getting convicted and sent to prison for retarded crimes. Then there's the fact that these prisons dont focus on rehabilitating it's criminals and instead hardens them so they will become repeat offenders. Quit being an uneducated retard.

>If they know it will be a popular product, why don't they just start selling their own strands?

The industries mentioned have huge liabilities in the form of the cost to approve drugs (for instance, Pfizer, which sells nicorette, runs targeted online ads against electronic cigarettes because they are so deep in the hole for nicorette). Whenever something new comes out, parasites haven't found a way for a problem that takes one job to take twenty (FDA, insurance, etc. etc.) Therefore everyone doing it the "old way", whether or not the old way is actually better, will get fucked no matter what.

>its only illegal because tobacco companies, alcohol companies, big pharma, and private prisons
wrong, it's because of the toilet paper lobby. the decorticator threatened to put the toilet paper cartels out of business by making it easier to create superior hemp toilet paper. this powerful lobby got congress to outlaw marijuana. if you want weed to be legal, you need to switch to bidets. it's cleaner, greener and only animals wipe their ass with paper. spread this message on twitter.

>sent to prison for retarded crimes
What is your idea of a retarded crime? The truth is people are not sent to prison easily enough or long enough.

I agree that it is illegal for industrial reasons and that people should have a right to do it.

But it is the last thing I would campaign for. People who do use it are without exception worthless degenerates with wasted potential. It is a drug that makes you dumb and lazy. Of the many freedoms I'd like to win back from the state it is towards the end of the list.

Do you have s source for that claim that isn't some left leaning shithole blog

>The truth is people are not sent to prison easily enough or long enough.

You sound like every retarded kid in a Young Republicans meeting.

Its not illegal i have my own plants and a dispensary down the road wtf are you yakking on about

We don't have republicans in Canada and i voted liberal in our last federal. You will need to stereotype me differently for your ad hominem attack to work.

There is a PDF. I can't post it because I'm at work, but the source can be found on inthepublicinterest.org the title of the PDF is: 'Recidivism research brief" it was published June of 2016. It goes over the methodology used in detail.

Whoops.

Dont forget hemp, hemp can be used for things like paper and rope which would harm the profits of the wood cutting industry.

Not saying you should smoke weed but if you do then do it in moderation, we need to be a strong and intelligant people.

Thank you, for pulling that up for me. 10/10.

But it's legal where I live :)

Are you high right now OP? I sense a large amount of paranoia in your post. Plus - I drink and smoke ciggs when I'm high. They're not exclusive.

Like weed or don't - the financial and social cost of suppressing it is too high, and the benefit gained non-existent.
Government that spends a lot of time poking through people's medicine cabinets is expensive - in time, effort, and money.
You want small government that doesn't waste resources, don't you?
Or don't you?

well yeah, free those of course.

>I don't understand federal vs states rights
No it's not senpai. That schedule 1 means DEA can still enforce the long dick of the law.

Daily reminder that if you hold it in for less than 10 seconds you're wasting the smoke and should be gassed

THE EMPEROR WEARS NO CLOTHES by Jack Herer ISBN: 0-9524560-0-1

Details all the uses of cannabis, from the intoxicating flowers to the long fiber length, the seeds which contain all the amino acids humans need to thrive, et cetera, et cetera. It's overwhelming. That the plant was made illegal is patently insane.

wouldn't it harm people in the rope making industry too? All those jobs - LOST!

it is illegal because it rots your brain. look at my flag. AMA

Smoking weed is degenerate, go..guys! Stop being a pot smoking junkie and get some tobacco, it boosts your testosterone levels. Now you don't wanna be a soyboy, do you?

Do you know where you are? Half of these idiots couldn't name our Supreme Court justices. They don't care about government. They float day to day living in their own little bubble and only popping it to scream into their Sup Forums echo chamber. They don't care about small government, they just want anyone who is liberal to not be as happy as they are. Also, simply to stop the bullshit before it starts, I hate liberals too. I think both the right and the left are idiots, simply because it's nothing but identity politics.

Without exception?
You are clueless. Plenty of successful people smoke weed. If you do not realise this you are an idiot. In denial perhaps?

I was trapped in a cave with someone taking OP's angle on the legalization debate. Seriously, it's an absolutely retarded and makes people conclude "silly paranoid stoners" and walk away.

I'm much more agreement with arguments like:
"I just want to get high and it's none of your damn business"

and...

"When was the last time a Cop asked to search your car even though you don't even do drugs - or the last time you were thouroughly searched at customs? You realize how much daily freedom we give up because you want your government controlling what I do with my own life and time, harming nobody?"

Anti weed is a kike construct meant to line their Jew bags with shekels from big pharma while pumping the populace full of ssris to keep them complacent and addicted. Weed helped me out of depression in a week while pharma made my want to an hero. I don’t even smoke regularly.

Legalization has nothing to do with big pharma. You're literally parroting the same stupid shit every burn out has been spouting since they first decriminalized it.

All these people are easily better than Richard Spencer, who was admittedly pretty funny when he argued against Charles Barkley. If you have to be honest with yourself, though, and think who is a more accomplished overall human: Richard Spencer, or Charles Barkley? Easily the answer is Chuck. Plus he is funny. If I had to kill Richard Spencer or Charles Barkley, I would kill Richard every time. Wouldn't you?

>why don't they just start selling their own strands?

*Strains
They will have a difficult time getting the best genetics to work with.
They will have a very hard time getting growers elite cuttings, they are passed around in very tight circles. Some cuttings/clones have gone for $10,000, if sold at all.
Smaller, and long time growers, will always have the best buds.
I am not saying a big company could not compete, it just would be as good.

It can't be monopolized, you dumb nigger. Are you retarded?

>it just would be as good
oops, would NOT be as good
