No, Then the goverment would take it over, tax it, and the quailty would go to hell.
But yes, it would make it more expensive.
Yes, I think it should be a legal, controlled substance just like alcohol (it's far less destructive than alcohol).
There are (medical) marijuana collectives all over the place in California, and they have EXCELLENT product. Sometimes it's cheap, sometimes it's expensive, but never out of proportion to the quality. The street price is pretty close to the medical shop prices for the same quality and quantity, but with the shops you have variety. Medical marijuana collectives are also the only way I know to get hash. I'd never had it before I had access to the collectives and I've been smoking good weed for 10 years in CA. You can even get them to deliver it to your house.

"Do support legalization of Marijuana? "
I support ending the WAR ON DRUGS. It has proven ineffective and simply a waste of money. I would rather take that same amount of money and put it into treatment and prevention programs. It all comes down to personal responsibility. Making drugs illegal simply creates criminals.
P.S. I am registering as a Republican for the sole reason to vote for Ron Paul in 2008. Had to pass that along....
Originally posted by PhlabibitHmm, not sure if that's true. Holland allows the sale of pot in the shops (untaxed) and their stuff is more expensive than London stuff which is obviously illegal....
Wrong. The price would go down for the same bone. The cost of taxing the pot would be less than the price of waging a war on drugs.

No then the terriorists will win (or the Mexicans, I'm not sure which any more).
Or the fact there are more people in prison than in college largely as a result of drug busts. Or the fundamental hypocricy of the drug laws which came about directly because a dude named Anslinger hated blacks, mexicans, and jazz musicians and started a campaign to make weed illegal simply as a weapon against those people having nothing to do with any percieved health risk to grass. You can see the underlying hypocricy of the situation quite clearly when you look at the tobacco statistics, 400,000 people dead per year because of direct and indirect health riks of that filthy drug but how many people actually die from weed? What, 10? We need to force feed this to our gullible and right wing US senate and representatives and govenors what this hypocricy is doing to our country, needlessly diverting billions of dollars and millions of unjustifiable prison sentences all because of the hatred of blacks, thats what it boils down to.
So the short answer, make it legal, HELL YES make it legal, not just because some of us would take a hit now and then but to get at one more root of american hypocricy. If they were so concerned about the health effects of weed like they claim they are in the us goverment then why do they continue to allow tobacco to be sold, killing near half a million people in the US alone?
