Smoke This Recession / It's simple: First we tax the booze. Then we legalize the pot. Done.

Smoke This Recession / It's simple: First we tax the booze. Then we legalize the pot. Done.

Now I am not a big pot smoker. Its been years since I had some, but this makes too much sense to work. I mean we have a heavily consumed product that we could easily tax and regulate.

There is an already established system with the Medicinal Marijuana clubs, plus the Amsterdam clubs that any true pot head is familiar with I am sure.

I mean, is weed seriously that socially scary that we are willing to look past its benefits to focus on the few negatives it brings.

I mean by legalizing it we might even diminish some of the ills that are caused by making it illegal. Drug Dealers would have to go legit, get licensed, have inspection, maybe not kill people in their lust for cash. Stuff like that. If it was legal, maybe I wouldn't look at my pot smoking friends with such disdain. They would simply be like my friends who smoke cigarettes or drink. Just one of the crew.

I don't know yet, I still need to think it through, but economically this country is definitely in need of a boost, and I bet a little bud might do. Plus have you ever gone through a recession...On WEED!!!
