Bored at work and wishing the government would stimulate my package some more. Better yet I'd be happy if they legalized the weed. Otherwise the packages that get stimulated only help fund the black market. I got a $600 check last year, spent it all on some fine quality herb. Had that herb been a governmentally regulated substance I might have helped the economy. Instead myself and many, many, many more people helped fund the black market in these dark economic times. LEGALIZE IT!

A bunch of ex-presidents from Mexico have gotten together and decided that the best course of action for the "war on drugs" is to legalize marijuana. So, steps are being made.

Yes, some drug dealers do buy nice tv's and cars. Many times these purchases are made illegally with large amounts of cash. Taxes are avoided. Not to mention all the large scale dealers and gangs that get busted. The DEA alone make busts that discover $400,000 and upwards of multiple millions, all that money goes to the DEA. They set up sting locations where and undercover cop sells people weed, of varying quantities, and the people arrested, all of their money is 'seized', their cars are impounded which can later be bought back at auction, the proceeds of which go to the police or government agency. Even the people that buy a gram get everything taken from them. Back to the gangs and dealers . . . a large portion of that money also goes into buying weapons illegally. The money people spend on weed is almost like funding terrorism, seeing as a large majority of marijuana in the country comes from Mexican cartels.

Scuse me, but drug dealers would be taking that extra money you spent on pot and would be upgrading televisions and stereos. Have you ever met a dealer without a flash TV cos I havn't so even the money spent on drugs would end up in the economy eventually. How can you say it is wasted?
What gets me about the stimulus packages is this mess is caused in part by people spending money they don't have, so how are governments fixing it? By giving people money they didn't earn to spend on more shit.

"About Henry Ford's Car
In the 1910s Henry Ford experimented with using agricultural materials in the manufacture of automobiles. Ford was partly motivated by a desire to find nonfood applications for agricultural surpluses, which existed then as they do now. He tried out many agricultural crops, including wheat.
Coil cases for the 1915 Model T Ford were made from a wheat gluten resin reinforced with asbestos fibres. Eventually he focused on soybeans, and in the 1920s began promoting soybean products at every opportunity. He recruited Robert Boyer, a young chemist, to lead the research.In the following few years, uses were found for soy oil in automobile paints and enamels, in rubber substitutes, and in the production of glycerol for shock absorbers. Viscous solutions of soy protein were extruded and "set" in formaldehyde bath to form fibers for upholstery cloth. But Ford's special interest was in converting soy meal into plastics. Soy meal is what is left after soy-beans are crushed or ground into flakes and the soy oil extracted with a hydrocarbon solvent. Soy meal is about 50 percent protein and 50 percent carbohydrate- mainly cellulose.The compositions of Ford's soy plastics, and the methods of their processing, evolved over time and varied according to the application. In general the resin core was made of soy meal reacted with formaldehyde to produce cross-linked protein (reminiscent of casein plastics and animal horn), but for added strength and resistance to moisture, phenol or urea was cocondensed with the protein. The resulting resin was part phenol formaldehyde (or urea formaldehyde) and part cross-linked soy protein; the soy meal was not merely a filler.
The condensation took place in the presence of the cellulose and other carbohydrates that were part of the soy meal. Fillers, up to 50 to 60 percent, provided additional cellulose fibres, from HEMP, wood flour or pulp from sprice or pine, cotton, flax, ramie even wheat. The final mix was about 70 percent cellulose and 10 to 20 percent soy meal. When additional strength became necessary, glass fiber was also used. Relatively low pressures and temperatures were used in the moulding process.Soy meal plastics were used for a steadily increasing number of automobile parts- glove-box doors, gear-shift knobs, horn buttons, accelerator pedals, distributor heads, interior trim, steering wheels, dashboard panels, and eventually a prototype exterior rear-deck lid. Finally Ford gave the go-ahead to produce a completely prototype "plastic car," including an entire plastic body. The body consisted of fourteen plastic panels fixed to a welded tubular frame (instead of the customary parallel I-beam frame). The panels and frame each weighed about 250 pounds. The total weight of the automobile was 2,300 pounds, roughly two-thirds the weight of a steel model of comparable size.
Ford, a master at generating publicity, exhibited the prototype with great fanfare in 1941. But then, by late 1941, Ford no longer publicized the "plastic car". The reasons for this are unknown, but his media contacts, the strength of the DuPont organisation and World War II are likely to have played a role. Also, technology was not yet well developed and limited options. Plastics have become more common, but plastics from renewable resources got sidetracked. This is where Hemp Plastics have continued with research projects and collaborations to re-visit and re-new the use of plant based plastics.
Picture of Henry Ford smashing a plant fibre bodied car with an axe is here.
We might think that our ethanol and biodiesel "flex-fuel" systems are all very cutting edge, but biofuel development is of course nothing new. Way back in the 1930's, Henry Ford was hard at work in the alt-fuels sector, and in 1941 he constructed a hemp-fueled and hemp-bodied prototype car. The "plastic" body panels were composed of 70% cellulose fibers, including industrial hemp, mixed with More..a resin binder, and apparently they were pretty sturdy: check out this video, in which a guy beats on the trunk with an axe and fails to leave a mark. Industrial hemp won't make you high, kids, but its association with marijuana has historically been a major legal stumbling block
Henry Ford patents plastic car
On this day in 1942, Henry Ford patented a plastic-bodied automobile. The car was 30 percent lighter than ordinary cars. Plastic, a relatively new material in 1942, was revolutionizing industry after industry in the United States. Today most car bodies are still made of metal, but plastic parts are becoming more and more common.

The hempen plastic panels are stronger and lighter than steel. The car also ran on fuel made from hempen oil. The government says they are now looking into alternative fuels and such but the technology was there 80 years ago.

even had a car built completely out of plastic that used hemp to aid in the production of the plastic
car panels. Hempen plastic is bio-degradable.

Why go to a shady dealer when you could go to the grocery store? Why don't people roll their own cigarettes anymore? Convenience. You have to call the drug dealer, you have to meet him, he might rob you, he might kill you. Still, most of
the "plans" that people have come up with for legalizing and taxing weed result in a lower price for an ounce of weed through
legalization. So even with the tax, you are saving money. It doesn't take much to grow weed, dealers mark up the price to
pay for the trouble and illegality.

We have the same point. I am saying that due to the fact that marijuana is illegal, government money such as the stimulus plan does nothing but waste more American dollars. The stimulus wasn't supposed to be used on bills either. The stimulus was to be spent on items in stores to boost the economy. What happens when people are given money that they didn't have to work for? They are even more irresponsible with that money than they are with money they worked for. Stimulus checks were even given out to people that didn't pay any taxes. I witnessed personally tens of thousands of dollars that were wasted in that stimulus package.
Now what would be the case if marijuana were legal? Well for starters anyone that used their stimulus money to buy pot would have been buying a governmentally regulated substance that was taxed and not the quality could be ensured. As it stands currently you have to buy these drugs from drug dealers, they can put anything in or on their product that they feel like. That is dangerous, legalization could help save lives from poisons and it would also put a huge dent in the black market. Mexico's drug cartels are such big problems because Americans love their drugs.
What else happens as a direct result of the legalization of marijuana? People stop going to drug dealers. You buy your pot in a grocery store, you aren't being offered anything other than pot, which would destroy the whole gateway drug thing. Kids would be safer. The cops would be able to pay more attention to the drug dealers trying to peddle drugs to kids on recess. Speaking of schools, all that taxation that comes from weed could be spent on America's school system and maybe we wouldn't have so many under-educated children with no future.
It is a win-win-win.

The waste was the government just giving all the Americans, that deserved and didn't deserve, stimulus checks and thinking that those checks would be spent in stores. I don't know anyone that used their stimulus check to buy anything besides drugs. The other people used their stimulus money to pay some stupid loan payment or to make one more mortgage payment on a house they shouldn't have been given.

Anyone have any real data for someplace that has legalized/taxed or just decriminalized the weed? I'd be very interested to see how doing that affected the local economic output, crime, police activity, government activity, hospital admission rates, social program enrollments and funding, stuff like that. Something other than opinion.
http://www.ojp.gov/bjs/glance/corrtyp.htm Violent criminals make up the majority of the prison population. Nobody goes to jail for getting caught smoking weed and besides, you know how violent weed smokers are. 80% of the prison population is there because of marijuana I do not think. Now 'drug dealers' who sell weed along with crack and meth tend to be violent, but a guy who goes to jail for possession with intent to distribute crack, meth, and weed isn't in jail 'because of marijuana' since he'd be headeded there even if the weed was legal.

While I support it, and it's fairly obvious how much benefit can be derived from the legalization, and how much social entropy can be slowed, if there were a chance of legalization, I think it would have happened long ago.
