A cure for cancer would be equally lucrative financially. And in addition, hey a cure for cancer.
Since the OP has already put us into the realm of fantasy, why not?
I’ll tell you what…
Um.
dude
There was no information offered in Washington State prior to election day that previous convictions would overturned. Considering it’s still illegal under federal law, it wasn’t expected.
I assume that when WA’s reefer shoppes finally open up for business (sometime in 2013, right?) it will still be illegal for Harry the Hippy to sell fattie quarters of organic purple panda underneath the Space Needle, won’t it?
(in other words, private individuals can’t openly, legally sell marijuana to others, right?)
You forgot: increased shrill hysteria from people with no hobbies.
Oh yeah? Well, I bet you’re not even a real docta.
As for the idea that everyone everywhere can buy all the weed they want, I know is I can’t.
I think a few people might be more inclined to use it on occasion if it weren’t illegal and a fire-able offense for having it in your blood stream. I’m subject to random drug screenings, and I’m not a huge fan of weed in general, but if it weren’t illegal and if I couldn’t get fired for using it, I might partake in it on occasion with friends if the situation arose.
I figure there are probably a fair amount of other people like me who might use it now and then if their jobs didn’t depend on them not using it.
