The bystanders swooped in and grabbed most of the pot after the driver of the truck ran away from the accident at about 12:50 a.m. Wednesday.

When officers arrived, they found a few remaining bags of marijuana and a loaded handgun inside the truck.
 
 

How much do you want to bet that guy had all that fronted to him?
 
Legalize this shit and tax the hell out of it. Contrary to popular belief it won't solve the deficit problem...but it sure as hell would free up the police for more important shit. And prisons. And courts. 
 
If we feel confident enough in regulating a far more intoxicating substance (alcohol) surely we can handle a little weed. The demand is there, and you can't legislate away demand, but you can legislate away taxable trade.
 
What say you?

I agree, although I'm not really in the mood to argue with those that would prefer the government's control to their own freedom.

@Fajita_Jim: If they did tax it to hell, wouldn't the dealers sell it to avoid the tax?

I would rather buy from a safer place where I know the product is of higher quality.

Let's play a game. Spot as many flaws in this argument as you can, I can spot at least two!

I'll work harder on deep reading your one sentence response from now on. It was just so deep I couldn't fully understand it. Excuse my feeble mind.

@beej: I'm sure it's right. At least stealing chips, or chocolate, or hot dogs or anything that can be called food. HUNGRY.

I guess people are right about the whole spotting sarcasm on the internet being hard.

Yes, that's a good point. Many so-called conservatives (if that's what you mean) often have a double standard on certain issues, pot legalization being one of them.

Why would legalizing marijuana ever be a good idea?

Another seg-way thread to talk about the legalization of Marijuana? This is getting really old.

If people really want the shit legalized, get off your lazy pot-smoking asses and do something about it. Don't stop short at a petition, go farther and show this country that pot-smokers obviously will not just sit by and hope that someone up top brings down the green-leaves.

But, that will never happen, thus weed will not be legalized until some big-shot finds a loop-hole to make it legal and finds large profits to be made.

@Belonpopo: Think about booze or tobacco. Yea, some people do make their own booze or buy cigarettes on Indian Reservations, then sell them elsewhere. But 99% of the people just go to the grocery store. 
 
Plus once it does become legalized, they will be a temporary boom where stoners, giddy with excitement, rush into Safeway and Walmart to pick up a bag.
