private prisons hate them, click to find out why
paradoxagon
private prisons lobby to keep drugs illegal because they get more money for keeping prisons full
Ikingg
Ummm… taxes… steep taxes on weed.. so 7 M to government 3 M to local businesses.
Apeofdeath
I like the idea of of legal Marijuana Business beating out Private Prison Business
NetProfit
Republicans claim to want to reduce spending and have smaller government, letting states decide. Yet Sessions ... is just a cunt.
SD44
You are not comparing apples to apples there.
pollomagnifico
Yeah, large quantities of marijuana is grown domestically... so it's probably closer to 8 billion.
KunFayyaKun
Many of them funded by cartels.
Improbabilitydrive42
Yeah, I smell the farms as I drive through the valley - I'm gonna go with no on that assumption.
GrilledSteez
Most of the weed smoked in the us before legalization was grown in the US. It's not like people didn't grow it here when it was illigal.
amnevoiedecafe
I knew a girl that started taking the marijuanas and then she was turning tricks and became a serial killer. That’s what taking it does !
Xenarion
Yeah because the past weed producer have left and only new ones completely disconnected to the old ones are now selling...
wonder89
That's what they say about casino operators too!
HypnoChanger
It's basic economy. If it's legal, then local growers can supply weed more affordably than those who need to smuggle across the border.

as long as you as dispose of the syringes safely
imagineacoolnamehere
Yeah. . .I don't think that's how it works
Burf2You
The payment to fight it was even more. There is too much money in keeping it illegal. (From: A non smoker)
ExplainThisJoke
I'm glad that the government is literally being funded by opiating the masses
Wussgoodbruh
But hey man, the government said those opiates were A-ok, and lord knows the governments never been wrong about anything ever
ExplainThisJoke
it's a natural chemical! since when has anything natural been bad for you?
JohnJacobJingleHeimerSmitt
I'm very pro legal weed but this argument isn't so true anymore
Atlasraven
Good, now the cartels can move onto more dangerous drugs and human trafficking.

Changes in brain function (if you have one that is) Lung damage/Cancer risk Cancer of head and neck areas Increased cardiac workload
NightNova
I though weed was killing cancer , I've see studies saying as much, but big pharma companies were posting this bad shtuff.
percypeckerman
Lots of pros and cons for weed. I can only speak from personal experience. I abused it and then it abused me.
MightyIink
And put into the economy, that's amazing! The biggest problem with america is too much importing and outsourcing. Local business is good!
Headstereo
Apparently you can make good money if you know how to grow.
Headstereo
Legally with licenses and safety papers.
aintgottimeforyou
How about this: 600 million in sales tax alone.
MaximusUltima
Why the fuck aren’t we legalizing this shit and taxing it?!
SpiderDetective
Because, according to our Attorney General thinks it's as bad as heroin, even though no one can find a single death linked to weed overdose.
CountryMetal01
More appropriately, because it's still a class 1 narcotic, this needs to change before anymore states legalize an Illegal subsance
MaximusUltima
Fuck Nixon. He was the racist asshole who gave it that label in order to spite supposed Jewish doctors, according to a private recording.
QueenAmy
None of it is federally legal

A tad bit of an oversimplification here...

look I'm no economist but my common sense logic/gut feeling is telling me that's not how it works.
kidfropro
Am an economist, and you are right, it isn't a one to one trade. It would take a short white paper to explain it all, but I'll try here 1/?
kidfropro
Its a one to one trade where for the people that did in fact buy MJ from previously illegal substance and buy the same amount from legal 2/
kidfropro
sources. This same 1to1 tradeoff can be applied to people who now buy MJ instead of other things in the local economy 3/
kidfropro
This is a wash in that it helps MJ dealer, but hurts other local businesses. Then there are the purchases that people buy out of savings 4/
kidfropro
which is basically new money into the economy (more complicated than that, but basically right). Of the 10 B, the proportion people now 5/
breezybriv
Wisconsin did an analysis of lowering the drinking age and legalizing weed and holy shit. All the money. ...like...all of it...
visorian
Top 5 comments: "Achtchcuaallyyy the cartels are probably just selling it legally now so nyah" ok fine. Now our cops can focus on stuff that
ShouldersDeepInAHorse
They're selling it legaly, so it's being taxed, and regulated, and they can call the police if someone steals instead of murdering them.
visorian
Matters
rogerklots
Home grows and northern Cali produce a lot more than you think that brick Mexican weed doesn’t produce that many dollars at all
JORDAN1082
The cartels make way more money from marijuana than other drugs b/c they can bring it over the order in larger quantities.
tupacshomie
Just bc it sells for more doesnt mean ppl are paying more. My weed budget doesn’t quadruple bc the price of weed does.
Squagglenater
Where the hell are you buying from? In cali clubs are pricey but so many people homegrow you can always find it for cheap.
tupacshomie
Colorado. I'm prob just older than you and remember when the only choice was dirt weed. lol
Squagglenater
Fair point. Times have changed pop, you can find / grow top shelf everywhere now for cheap. I usually get 1 Oz for 100.
ApeDrape83
Right!? Nobody I know has smoked that Mexican shwag for over 20 years.
Headstereo
I saw a thing where its mostly mexican immigrants brought into USA to farm for the cartels, but they have shitty treatment Not just brick.
donotlookatthelight
Shwag; now that’s a word I haven’t heard in a while
iliketotellabsurdconspiracies
ApeDrape83
Hahaha! Hell yeah.
rogerklots
I mean if the the public and government need to believe it’s going to the cartel for there to be leagalization so be it.
cow042
I want high profile arrests over it and states to get angry so that it can be legalized federally
rogerklots
Most illegal proceeds from farming Cannabis are buried on farms in NorCal. Those guys have been rolling in dough up to eyeballs for years
RanaldMcDanald
Most of the stuff I've seen in bundles isn't shwag weed.
dkevox
I think it's funny that whoever made this meme thinks that the full amount spent on weed was paid back to the cartels. Lol
EverydayIdleness
But even just one marijuana can kill you.
spacepants4tw7
I’ve been trying to kill myself with the marijuanas for years, so far I can inject a whole seven before I just get tired and sleep well
Boredashell
To be fair. Just one Mexican cartel can kill you as well.
idonthaveabetterusername
At least one marijuana
CrimeThinker
That's only if you smoke them, injecting is 5000% safe.
CrimeThinker
Which means you can safely do 50 at once before anyone asks.
zrXO
marijuana is a memory loss drug
crankyoldgeezer
Thank goodness

My "friend" took 7 whole marijuanas on be time.
StarlightSnep

Dewbs

Jusmar
Jeff! It's time for bed.
narniasreal
I injected two marijuanas and turned into a gay.
darkninja2992
That's just natural selection, only the strong survive
jrbr549
When I'm posting this your comment had 423 points. It could have been left alone at 420...but NOOOOOO.
Leverbee
False. My friend once drank at least 7 marijuanas and he's still alive!
Allofyoush
I feel proud that I upvote your comment to 420
crankyoldgeezer
I am proud of you too
AllTheWittyNamesAreTaken
I'll take 2.
WoundedZetian
You cannot OD on marijuana! You can on aspirin and we give that shit to kids, even flavor it!
feelinsomethinglikerickmoranis
Idk i heard of this guy once who heard of this guy who ate 4 pots
obsoleterubixcube
I hear if you take two marijuanas it make you gay
something47
What happens if you take 3??
obsoleterubixcube
You become a politician, the worst case scenario
DonteHaversham

LET THEM GO, SATAN!
BenSuspended
a common misconception. Most people can safely inject up to 4 marijuanas without adverse health effects.

"I heard some kid died off four!" -Trevor Moore, Sam in a Bag
CertifiedMemeGuy
My friend injected 3 marijuanas. This is him now.
Yallendalf
Maybe he's a first timer
HiImChrisWilsonFromGrindingGearGames
is that 4 in the butt or arm, or 2 in each ?
FriedMonkE92
Also could snort up to 2 ground up marijuanas without complications i hear.
brknsoul
Theoretical: What are the effects of snorted MJ powder?
RowRowFightThePowa
What if I smoked a heroin?
greenking13
Smoking female superheroes has been scientifically linked to kryptonitis. Fair warning. but FIGHT THE POWA!
RowRowFightThePowa
that's heroine.... but okay.
Bigdragon12
I won't let you poison me or the youth devil with your transplants of evil!
LizardEnterprises
No, @OP. Not exactly. Taken from Mexican cartels sure, but not given to small businesses. They're already being pushed out of the new market
