In America, younger generations aren't getting married any more. The younger generation isn't buying houses like we had in the past. Heck, when you could fully write off vacation homes, our generation usually owned two homes. Not any more.
Don't think for a second our government didn't see this coming, hence the new addition of allowing gays to marry and pot legalized. They have to balance things for a while before they figure out what they're going to do about raising tax money.
Now all of a sudden we see certain states legalizing pot. Of course when I was probably 16 years old you could buy a nickel bag, (about two fingers tall in a sandwich baggie) or a dime bag, (twice that amount) for $5.00 or $10.00. Today I'm told that same amount is in the hundreds of dollars. So over time they watched the prices rise, (probably somehow controlled by the government) and now they've conveniently started to legalize it at a price in which the government can make billions in taxes.
So, you have to wonder, is Pot the new gateway drug to the survival of the United States? There is no other big industry left and the big industries out there don't pay taxes. To think we might actually have to thank the stoners and the gays for saving America, go figure.
I can see our heads of state now before sessions start. Breathe in, hold it... hold it... hold it..., breathe out.
Jim Beam is now owned by the Japanese, and a company in Belgium has bought Budweiser.
ReplyDeletePot is still illegal in Amsterdam, they just contain it to the cafe's in small amounts. Same as Jamaica, it's not totally illegal there, they just don't fill their prisons with pot smokers.
Acceptance here isn't because they think it's harmless or a person's individual rights. The big engine behind legalizing here is because of the disproportionate number of minorities that are convicted and jailed for possession.
Legalize it!
Like jefferson said centuries ago, hemp is of first necessity to the wealth and protection of the country
ReplyDeleteThink of the agricultural boom it would also create. I just don't see a down side to it.
ReplyDeleteI told you several years ago that it wasn't a "health issue' or a "safety issue" to our slimy "leaders" --- it was about the MONEY. Your kid gets hooked on heroin? Starts smoking dope at 11 years old?
ReplyDeleteThey couldn't care in the slightest. Can we TAX it and make more millions? Will it create a new bribery revenue stream? Can I get my relatives and friends in the revenue stream, too?
When all those questions can be answered with a resounding "YES!!!", then they break their arms signing the law.
Keep cheering these dirt bags. As you can see, they only have your health and safety in mind.....
