sloshspot.com — Love it or hate it, people smoke marijuana - lots of it. In some states marijuana consumption and posession have been decriminalized, and even legalized for medicinal purposes. But, have you ever wondered how large the economics of Marijuana were?

Then either you A) Haven't been paying attention -or- B)Don't know a good argument when you see one. These types of arguments against prohibition have been made since the prohibition started. If you really want to go to the beginning these types of arguments have been made for illegal substances since alcohol prohibition.

Your hardcore bud friends smoked bud for 30+ years because they thought other people would think they were being rebellious?

More taxes also means tamping down the deficit, employing people, getting projects started, paying for the military, schools, roads, aid to individuals and countries, etc.If 100% of taxes went to bailing out companies, I'd agree with you, but they don't.

No, a definition of 'party' is: 'an occasion on which people can assemble for social interaction and entertainment'A definition of 'social' is: 'relating to human society and its members'Since you seem unable to relate to others based on what they choose to do, I would say yes, you must be awesome at parties and other social get-togethers. (sarcasm included). You stating that prohibition has lasted so long because people don't care puts you slightly out of touch with what's actually going on on the planet. What's a realistic amount of alcohol? Can you show me where you're getting information that it causes no deaths? You stating that people getting high never show any sense just makes you sound like a moron who's been sheltered in a church basement for far too long. Your argument against people getting high is they may kill others while driving in their cars. This is a non-argument since you're arguing against something that's already illegal. Calling people pathetic when they're doing something that doesn't pertain to you shows that you're pretty self-righteous, which again brings me to you being sheltered in a church basement.And yes, I realize you're a troll- it's just fun to pick apart your very poorly put together arguments that have been the same arguments of the pro-prohibition set for ages. Repeating it doesn't make it any more realistic.

Its flawed because the last big stat of 14 whatever is about all drug use not just marijuana. If they legalize and tax marijuana it will only take a fraction out of that 14 bill.

Exactly, Its flawed because the last big stat of 14 bill is about all drug prevention spending, not just for marijuana. If they legalize and tax marijuana it will only take a fraction out of that 14 bill.
