"Explain to us what exactly you mean when you say: "If made legal drug prices would not be so inflated""

Drug prices are inflated as a result of their illegal status. Legalization would nullify the inflated prices which are kept artificially high by the war on drugs... with certainty.

"What makes you think the prices will not be "so inflated" and give the audience some concrete proof the marijauna will be sold for "not so inflated prices"
And what does not so inflated prices mean relative to the prices marijauna consumers are presently paying??"

The current price of cannabis has fallen in medico-legal markets in the US, by 25% since.

When prices are not so inflated there is less reason for money grubbing lucid criminals to get involved in the cannabis market.

"Tell us how the new marijauna tax system will be crafted so as to collect "enough money" to pay for everything that the taxs will be needed to pay for including the: "money directed toward people that wanted treatment instead of locking them up for non-violent offenses****"

I'll let the mnoney grubbers figure out their tax system, I personally do not think agriculture should be taxed as such.

"Tell us what the govenement will do when and if people do not agree with the taxes and what amount of taxes exactly will be paid and at what levels and how will the government enforce these tax laws.
If a pot head consumer violates the tax laws and marijauna consumption laws then how should the law breaker be handled ...seeing as you are the all knowing expert on the subject."

Misrepresenting me and creating a straw man, I don't want government involvement in natural herb production.

"In all your wisdom tell us how the cultivators and suppliers will be handled if and when they do not abide by the new tax laws applied to legal marijauna cultivation and supply."

Yeah, like I said, I leave that to the money grubbers and control freaks.

"And what will be done if there happens to be continueing illegal activities associated with the cultivation and supply and consumption of the drug...such as contraband marijuana brought into the country from Mexico or Thailand or Columbia and sold for less than the legal taxed version."

LOL! that remains to be seen, but chances are that it wouldn't be worth it to import, because the product produced in the US is superior due to climate. Nice try though.

"Oh..I see..it can not and will not happen now that the marijauna is legal...because making it legal will make all the criminal problems go away...or so say the pot heads and habitual consumers of the drug known as marijauna."

Yeah thats right, taking the big money away from the criminals will force them to find greener pastures, like becoming a politician. ha..ha..

"Do you think the cultivators and suppliers and consumers of the drug called marijuana can be considered trustworthy and honest and forthright enough to abide by the rules and regulations and the LAWS and or responsible consumption decorum.???"

Do you think distorting reality, and pretending to be lucid, people will see you as trustworthy and forthright?

"How law abiding do you think the cultivators and suppliers and consumers of the drug known as marijauna will be after the drug is legalised???"

As law abiding as any other indistry.

"Considering their exempletory track record of law breaking activities in the past and at present how much more law abiding do you think they will be under the future rules and regulations and laws of "legal" marijuana consumpton"

Consider police no longer being able to set up minorities for trumped up drug offenses in order to oppress them.

"Explain to us your new marijauna taxation system and how much money is needed and how to collect the taxes and apply them and where and how to enforce any violations of the laws and regulations and rules.

And if the taxes are not enough and the taxes need to be raised then how will the pot consumers react to further increases to marijuana consumption taxes paid by the public marijuana consumer.

There already is huge amounts of money directed towards people that want treatment instead of locking them up and that aspect of drug rehabilitation is a thriving business.
A business that thrives because of the drug consumption."

The products from industrial hemp will change the landscape of economics so much that speculating on a system is moot at this point.

"You do recognise that part of the drug consumption problem is already being addressed, that which evolved from all the more and various types of drugs being consumed.

Marijuana, the drug (as recognised the world over)
Cocaine
Crack
PCP
MDA
Heroin
Opium"

You do recognize that crack is cocaine and heroine is opium. If the money spent on incarceration was spent on treatment society would be better off, hands down.

"And lots of other nasties that the govenments of the world and the majority of citizens around the world do not consume for recreational purposes. But when many others do, many of them get addicted and then seek the services of drug rehabilitation ....OR the mean and nasty government and or law enforcement sends them to rehabilitation ...INSTEAD of putting them in jail....far, far more so than the amount of supposed "innocent, non violent people" being "locked up" as you stated."

Lets not forget about the pharmaceutical drugs that have even higher rates of dependence, death and social destruction. Drugs that are controlled by the government and Big Pharma with their FASCIST MONOPOLY. Run by the supposed "citizens around the world do not consume for recreational purposes." But they do consume, and they do try to impose their will on others.

"Well you can be forgiven for your seemingly iggnorant beliefs."

Well you can be forgiven for your poor and ignorant spelling,  and you lack of any knowledge as to what my beliefs are. Lets check out your last sentences and see how your message is far from "lucid".

" But when many others do, many of them get addicted and then seek the services of drug rehabilitation ....OR the mean and nasty government and or law enforcement sends them to rehabilitation ...INSTEAD of putting them in jail....far, far more so than the amount of supposed "innocent, non violent people" being "locked up" as you stated.

And you actually thought they all went to jail or prison and they are all innocent, non violent offenders that are all model citizens that we should all want to emulate."
