魯鈍的大麻政策

比加利福尼亞是時間為我的每年誇大其詞在大麻剷除愚蠢和，雖然它繼續全國性，在沒有地方是它更好說明了，他們有 完成 他們的對無害的植物的逐年攻擊。

[T]他每年競選反對大麻種植連根了拔大約3百萬棵植物，消除估計$11.6十億價值雜草。 那比狀態的最大的法律農業商品、牛奶和奶油的價值兩次是更多，在2005年值得$5.2十億，根據食物和農業的國務院。 It is nearly four times the value of the state’s largest legal cash crop, grapes, which was worth $3.2 billion.

This is only a fraction of the state’s outdoor crop. Using past state and federal government figures, they failed to eradicate some 14 million plants. And that’s just the outdoor crop. It doesn’t include a prodigious indoor cultivation industry which is increasing as outdoor growers are moving into suburban homes to avoid detection.

Marijuana Policy Project sums up the futility of it all.

“The Department of Justice has confirmed everything we’ve been saying about CAMP all year,” said Bruce Mirken, San Francisco-based director of communications for the Marijuana Policy Project. “If you want criminal gangs moving in next door to grow marijuana, if you want to make those criminals unbelievably rich, and if you want to guarantee that marijuana becomes more potent, current policies are working perfectly. If you think that’s crazy, then it’s time for California to regulate marijuana production just like we regulate wine.”

In 5,000 years no one has died as a direct result of ingesting cannabis. In contrast, 7,600 people died in a single year from aspirin overdose and hundreds of thousands have died of alcohol abuse and tobacco use. Yet we spend tens of billions of tax dollars every year making war on a harmless weed when we could be reaping possibly hundreds of billions in tax revenues from a regulated legal industry. How dumb is that?
