You just made me jizz in my pants.
After generations of defending capital punishment and marijuana possession laws on moral, ethical and religious grounds, after years of declaring that the death penalty acted as a deterrent against violent crime and that pot smokers were more dangerous to society than, say, alcohol consumers, all of a sudden thanks to our economic crisis more and more mainstream powerbrokers are considering dramatic changes to our criminal justice system.
This trend toward releasing non-violent offenders naturally begs the question: what about legalizing marijuana possession and lowering the drinking age? A California lawmaker Monday introduced legislation that would legalize (and tax) pot there.
Hell yes. Why is CBS News the only ones talking about this? Legalizing cannabis would save our economy. We could make billions off of taxing it, save billions from ending the War on Drugs and take the power out of the hands of those Mexican drug cartels.
But that’s just the beginning.
Think about the jobs it would create. We would create jobs for people to grow the cannabis. We would create jobs for people to sell the cannabis. We would create jobs for people who would want to open coffee shops where people could come in, relax, and smoke a joint.
And think about how much money the food industry would make if cannabis becomes legal. McDonald’s, Doritos, Coke, Pepsi, Funyuns, Reese’s, Sarah Lee, and Little Debbie would make so much money that their CEOs would get naked and run through the streets screaming, “Why the fuck didn’t we do this sooner? Why was our government so goddamn retarded?”
Hopefully California will pass this law and show our government how to fix the economy without using taxpayers’ money. And if they’re the only state that does this then I’ll be buying a house there within the next three years…
