well all i got to say is just a couple more years to go right before bush got into office i heard something about price of ciggs getting ready to go up and up to the point most people quit cuase of how high the prices are and in 10 years they claimed marijuana would take cigs place in stores. thats a lil farther off then 2 years away i'm sure but i know quit a few people who already quit just cuase of the price. i'm still up on the whole legalizeing it part cuase once that happens uncle sam will start putting his hand out and with the prices it is now adays that 60 dollar 1/4 of killer smoke will be more then likely sold as packs of cigs or like lil cigars can you imagine going to the store to pick up a pack of nycd or other high priced strain lets say a pack of joints prepackaged weighing at a 1/8th dont go thinking it would be 4 or 5 bucks a pack more likely 60 or 70 bucks a pack but the main producers would be the former tobaco companies so what all would be added to keep that pack of joints fresh till they are open probably the same stuff they use to get cigs to last till they are bought yes decrim it but no to makeing it main stream leagel like cigs where you can just go pick up a pack of prerolled joint that more then likely have a filter on them and then you go to check out and the taxes kick in

Good video...very well put.  Though it does make me mad also.
I was just thinking if MJ did become legal in the states...I wonder how long it would take for the seed banks to put up there "Sold Out" signs. Cause I bet the orders would overload them.
Peace.

And a whole new industry is started in the states. Just like the corn and soybean seed companies, we would have available, 50# bags of seedweed. (seedcorn). Acres and acres of cannabis. It would save many jobs in many industries, and create new jobs in new industries. Makes too much sense. I don't have much faith in this government, to do anything, just because its the right thing to do. Unless, the polititians have thier "quid pro quo", common sense doesn't enter the equation.
Lest I ramble,
Pappy

Absolutly they would...although, I imagine, it would only take a couple of weeks until people would be selling them here in the states...probably for some outragious price also. Quote:

They are going to have to do something! With our population expanding. Corn is becoming stretched to its limit between fields to grow it, ethonal, and its a major food source. In Southern Ohio there are hillside after hillside that had Hemp growing on it back in the day. They logged out the trees and used the access roads as the planting grounds. Sigh! Its seem the powers that be want to keep the demand high on our current comodities. So, I guess, they lobby to keep hemp out of the picture. God forbid we utilize another natural resource. I'm with you...the jobs that it would create, in time, would more than pay for some short term adjustment in the comodities market. The US could be the number one producer/exporter of hemp, but no, we have to keep it illegal for some reason. Rediculous! I must stop now...getting myself upset again.
