- jelloknight, on 05/16/2008, -0/+4The only problem with potential full legalization is that it would totally confungle the prices up so that the medicinal clubs couldn't keep up with the super cheap street prices, or everyone would just grow their own and not buy from anyone else therefore eliminating the pot economy. Plus the Netherlands wouldn't feel as cool.

Legalization would never work. Its far to easy to grow, and practicly free. Who would go to the liquor store to get cannabis (and pay out the ass in sin tax) when they can grow it at home for the one time cost of lights, a hydroponic (or aeroponic) system and some starters? Clone forever and buy replacement bulbs.
Must decrim...
