It is said that if marijuana became legal, there actually wouldn't be much of a difference in the price from what it is now because the companies would spend all their money on advertisting. It would, however, mean that House Arrest Alan would probably be freeee

Yeah, but you could always grow your own then, couldn't you?

most non pot smoking Americans are too lazy to grow any of their own anything as it is. I doubt legalization would prompt many people to start tilling their backyards, let alone potheads.

But if they're already non-smoking, then they really don't enter into the equation, do they? I agree that the homegrown movement would be small compared to people who would just want to buy it, but you're forgetting how enterprising people could be. If legal, I wouldn't have a problem growing weed to sell to my friends and coworkers, and I wouldn't have to jack up the prices for advertising. The key to inflated weed prices (and to the current state of tobacco prices) is taxation, not advertising. By enforcing old taxation laws reguarding marijuanna from pre-prohibition times, the government would get a sizable chunk of the industry's profits while keeping startup weed operations at a minimum.

My point in that post was, partially in jest, that pot smokers (stereotypically) are even lazier than the average American. I think all drugs should be legalized, but it won't happen any time soon.

Fuck both of you and your damned political views, there's no point to look forward to legalization of marijuana anytime soon. The government hates me and everyone of my pothead friends, they would rather see me in jail than to be profiting from a harmless plant. Putting people in prison and jail is a waste of money, but not to them when they spend billions on an even MORE worthless war. So anyway fuck u both, I'm out! Smoke Crack, Kill Cops, Worship Satan!!!
