5 years for a little bit of MJ is excessive. Heck, probation would be plenty for a first offense.

It may seem simplistic and absurd, yet it came from the Credit Manager of the Federal Reserve Bank in Atlanta. That affords his statement much more credibility then say,....yours.

Like the separation of Church and state. Have you heard of this before?

But they should not have to.

No, I'm providing you with real time problems with fiat currency.

No, they cannot preclude the problems. What they can do is postpone the problems, but not forever. I will say that the fed under Alan Greenspan did a commendable job of putting off the inevitable. The truth of the matter , whether you wish to acknowledge it or not, is that it is a mathematical certainty that the dollar will eventually fail because of it's fiat status.

I don't smoke pot.

I never said I've never smoked pot.

I remember quality weed going for about $140.00 an ounce.

Anyone who would spend four hundred bucks on pot is a fucking retard...

Huh... Well, let the stoners do it again.

Of course, we could throw 'em a curve ball with some Twinkies and a box of Mallomars...

Ido not believe 40% is excessive...

I don't believe it would be. For black marketeers, their potential reward could be great. Their punishment, if caught, should also be great...

Well, knowing that I would go to prison for five years, I wouldn't sell it to him.

Simple solution, really.

You know, for someone who's not stoned all the time...

This makes no sense unless your drunk, I guess.

Anything above 5% is usury rates. I guess excess is burned into your DNA from all the alcoholic binges.

This is where the cloak of alcoholism has clouded your logic. Try & stay with me here Steve-0...When alcohol prohibition was ended, the bottom dropped out of the boot-leg booze market...Thus, no more black market booze because it was legal.
Illegal = Black market
Legal = no black market
You still with me or should I wait till your finished puking in an old McDonalds cup...

When Marijuana prohibition ends, there will no longer be massive profits to be made selling Marijuana illegally. The black market for pot will die just as the black market for booze did.
So all of your absurd ideas for abusive fines and prison sentences will be obsolete...just like you.
The clouds will part
The sun will shine
And all that will be left for you to do is grumble to yourself in your beer, like a transient pushing a shopping cart down the street, talking to himself with a big urine stain on the front of his tattered pants.
I'll drink to that!

Then how did you come up with it?

*salutes the iron fisted Steve*

matey, like all good things...whether it be cristal, or whether it be beluga...or whether it be a vintage leica...

they all be expensive.

'course, i'd be full 'o mirth and joy if the price should drop to $140 per z.

Wow, we agree on something.

What about people who spend 400 dollars for a bottle of wine? Or people who spend 400 dollars for a pair of shoes, or a purse? Or people who spend 10,000 dollars going to vegas?

An ounce of weed would last me a month-2 months, depending on how much I share.

A bottle of wine lasts an hour.

Ya know, I have met a lot of morons in my day............

Wait, I forgot what I was going to say. Damn it. Hey, pass the bowl over here.

dude if you haven't smoked todays pot, then kindly refrain from commenting on it. you don't know what youre talking about.

See, here's the thing, Sport: You've admitted to getting high. Now that you're identified as a stoner, you need me to have some sort of weak-person addiction in order to make yourself look like less of a loser. I understand that. Drug addicts often try to shift the spotlight off themselves.

The truth of the matter is I rarely drink, and I haven't gotten high in years. I prefer to be in control of my faculties, which isn't possible when stoned or drunk.

So, that's that.You're making yourself look stupid, and you're doing a formidable job.

As for what you consider "usury", I don't care. You say you want it to be legal, well, my plan makes it legal. The downside to it is that drug addicts usually have a hard time holding down a job, so they wouldn't be able to pay it.

But it would still be legal.

I don't care if the black market is there or not. It's there right now. I have no problem with the way things are now. You seem to think I want to see it taxed and the black market go away. This isn't so. Make it legal and tax the shit out of it. People who can pay the 40% will be law-abiding citizens. Those drug addicts who opt to trade in the black market will be doing nothing different than they are now.

Until they get caught.

So, do yourself a favor: Admit that you're a drug addict (you've all but admitted to that), and accept that not everyone you encounter has a substance abuse problem...

When I do drink, it would be a Bass Ale.

That would be more the equivilant of your $400.00 bag of weed...
