Do you think we are moving towards legalizing weed in the next 10-20 years?
- brandelec0
yes but 10-20 years, no

you know our City Council here in the Border Land, voted to have a open Discussion about legalizing , or de-criminalizing , all they wanted was to be able to bring this issue to the table, with the unprecedented violence just across the border , they wanted to hear all possible solutions. The Mayor vetoed that resolution and said this
"O’Rourke said Mayor John Cook told him he vetoed the resolution because he was concerned that couldn’t take it to the office of U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison without getting laughed at over it.
Cook says the resolution was intended to become part of the city’s federal legislative agenda that he, other officials and the city’s lobbyists in Washington present to U.S. Rep. Silvestre Reyes, Texas two senators and others for congressional action.
“That was one of my biggest concerns and one of the reasons I vetoed it,” Cook said. “I don’t think we’re going to bet any national traction on that with everything affecting the country right now, like the war in Iraq, the economic stimulus package, bailouts of major industries.
“We’re not going to have people in Congress debating the legalization of narcotics. Will people take us seriously if we present these arguments? I think the answer is no.” "

I would love to say yes. But I really doubt it. Not while we still have the Bible Belt and Middle America mentality.

what gets to me is that they wont even talk about it, and then they threaten funding ,
"Mayor John Cook vetoed the resolution and Rep. Silvestre Reyes, a Democrat who represents El Paso in Congress, lobbied each councilmember, making it clear that if the resolution calling for a debate passed, El Paso would risk losing money in the upcoming stimulus legislation. Five Texas House representatives made the same threat."

But does anyone think that the weed, pot, drug factor is more of a distraction to keep the two sides of the morality line bickering?
It seems to me that the financial implications to the paper and textile industries alone hold far deeper ramifications for legalization. Suddenly a cheap, multi faceted, easily, renewable resource is once again a huge competitor in those and other industries.

forget legalising weed, hemp should be the new wonder substance of the future but instead we get new plastics and bio fuel shuved down our throats. it could be a huge growth industry if it was ever seroiusly prusued, soo cheap and usefull.
