IF WE NEED MARIJUANA DEALERS, THE PRISONS ARE FULL OF THEM
"Medical pot growers forming trade group," read the article, making me
wonder: Would they come under commodities on the stock exchange?
So when do we see them on the Big Board? What do they do if their
stock goes out of date? You can bet they'll get someone to dispose of
it for them, leading to the headline, "Inventory destroyed by fire."
Medical means strict control as far as I know. Why do we need all
these "dealers"? We already have them on the streets now!
Since we are going to do this, why don't we hire all these people we
have been arresting and make them dealers? After all they have a
clientel and connections and they know how to grow and process it already.
As I recall the police just pulled up and burned tons
upstate.
They should have taken the people who planted it plus all the people
in jail who are there for planting and selling maryjane and put them
on the payroll!
They could have sold all that stuff they burned and made a lot of
money for the state. That way we could save money on the prisons and
the former prisoners could become productive members of society.
the way, are they going to pay the tobacco tax like they do for
cigars, cigarettes, etc.? Seems only fair to me.
