Idk how many times I’ve thought about this… So what weed is illegal, idgaf, you should still be able to go to the store and buy a candy bar, brownies, cookies with weed in it. It takes the smoking variable out of it leaving us a healthy snack we can enjoy the rest of our day, no one harmed and besides if fatty food like chocolate and stuff are allowed in stores why not make it something healthier and more enjoyable with weed in it. Or restaurants they serve stuff like big giant fatty and greasy burgers and they can’t serve people a small tray of brownies with weed in it (idk how European food is…probably not as bad as here although i dont eat that shit anyway) What has this world come to!?

I like the concept but if we started stuffing all our confectionaries with bud then I think the country would grind to a stand still as we’d all be too monged out our faces to hold down a job lol

One of those ‘legalise it’ shows on C4 a few years back experimented with how new small businesses could compete with tobacco companies if weed was legal, only method that made a business model work was high end ganja chocolate selections designed for dinner parties

we can buy booze 24/7 across the whole of Europe but social norms and laws deter the bulk of people from being too pissed up at work or when on the roads…

And not just NL but CZ, BG and PT have decriminalised cannabis (and some other drugs) to a lesser or greater extent.

Only PT has suffered badly from economic problems due the unrelated global economic depression (I’m partly surprised that they don’t try and use the country as a party nation like a giant Ibiza but I think that the Portugese are too proud to do that and let it be used as a foreigners playground and possibly be overrun by gangsters just as ES is, I’m not a fan of excessive nationalism but if that is the case I really respect them for that). NL is one of the richest and most stable countries in Northern Europe with the lowest unemployment rate, it is up there with Germany and the Scandinavian countries in terms of stability and quality of life.

Actually two USA states have apparently decriminalised cannabis yet set out sensible regulations to discourage DUI or excessive use, I’m not sure how well this works as its gone unmentioned in much of the media (even alternative media) other than its happened….

if we in Britain couldn’t handle decrim thats our fault and our fault alone, not that it isn’t a bad policy.

Yeah, I remember that study. The snag was the 400% tax on luxury goods applied to alcohol and tobacco. When applied to weed, the profit margin is so thin you have to sell real high end for the maker to make any profit (the tax/revenue people would of course make more).

That sort of model was designed to fail, as the reason people break laws like this is, the law is clearly biased in favour of taking money away from people and spending it on things like nuclear weapons.

In fact, American Federal legislation on food labelling was descirbed by Jamie Oliver as “child abuse”. It is pretty much the case that Americans don’t know what they are consuming, in order to protect the guilty.

Weed is totally decriminalized in Colorado and Washington. Its store market is planned for 2014 but we have to wait until laws are in place since it was just legalized a few months ago. But honestly I can wait because one of the first things I’m going to do when I’m 18 is move to Colorado and I have family there(I think) so its a positive for everyone.

Do check. From what I hear it’s OK in SOME parts of Colorado like Boulder.

EDIT: I checked, different rules are set to take over 2014;-
