What would happen if all of a sudden, everywhere, cannibas became legal and free from government regulation?
The United States prison system would empty out like a vacuum bag with the vacuum on reverse.



Many people would take up smoking, or increase the amount they smoke because of the lack of bullying threats by the government.



Those already growing plants would have a boom in prices because demand would temporarily exceed supply, causing prices to skyrocket, but then would eventually crash the market because a vast number of people would grow their own. Dealers and growers would be out of business.



However, there would be a chain which would pick up its sale in the same way Starbucks did with Coffee. There would be a chain of stores which would import the best stuff from around the world and sell it at high prices. There would be a Pot Starbucks, someone would get rich there.



Traffic accidents would go up, violent crime would go down. The streets would smell very nice. Old people would freak out. Don't worry, it's not about to happen.
Reply:It would soon become illegal again. Cannibas is illegal because most of the public wants it so.



I don't think you'd want your next airline pilot or your kid's bus driver smoking weed. If it was legal, you wouldn't be able to stop him from doing so.
Reply:It's a known fact most ppl who use cannibas do so to see if they can get away with it. Make it legal??,, People won't use it as much!
Reply:That would be pretty great!!! Maybe alot of people would quit drinking alcohol, and there wouldn't be the high rate of deaths caused by drunk driving??My best to you!!
