There is a plethora of things that would create a mess. How about how much the government would tax marijuana. Remember now if it was legalized you have have to go to the store to buy it, and the store would have hours. And the better the weed the higher the price. So what you pay now for say an ounce of good weed, would be a lot more expensive. Because it would become a mainstream multi million dollar operation. Also remember it would still be illegal to grow, and there would be rules and licensing to growing it, and well all the small time guys would be put out of business because the tobacco companies would open large growing operations.
You know about DUI... There would be a DUH driving while high, yes it would 100% happen. So no more smoking a J and then driving home, pulled over and fucked.
It would be a true nightmare for pot smokers are the gov would mandate everything, tax the shit out of it. Just like smokes you would have a state and federal tax, and since they would want to get as much out of it as possible it would be taxed to all hell.
And then it would also become hip and trendy, so you'd have the cheap weed and the designer weed. It would be the same as alcohol, the better the wine the more you pay. So when it would come to getting some nice BC budz that are nice and sticky, be ready to pay 3 times what you pay now, can't afford it all the time, get ready for a lot more brown and dry mexican stuff.
The prices would also become a lot more expensive when you take into consideration of the shipping of the marijuana from where it is grown to where it will be distrusted. So if it's grown in say California, it will need to be shipped around the country and real companies would have to be used. This will need to take into cost of operating a business. When I send it out I will have to use a proper service, pay someone to load and unload it, package it, the shipment itself. Getting weed from somewhere not in the USA you have to pay the importing tax as well.
No more giving someone a free ounce or two and having them drive a trunkload of it somewhere.
I can go on and on for hours, but these are just a few things.
