What? Weed is already legal in some US states and sooner or later will be legalized nationwide. On top of that how will legalizing weed take away profits from the alcohol industry? Weed is not a substitute for alcohol, it might be for tobacco but I'm not even sure for that either. The bottom line for a business is profit anyways, not interest to keep an unwanted good afloat, if weed happens to be a much more profitable venture then most likely a business will switch to that type of product. Here in Canada, the government owned provincial alcohol stores are already getting ready to sell weed as soon as it's legalized, the premier has already proposed for the alcohol stores to sell weed in order to maintain their monopoly. |
Yet FBI are allowed to travel to these States and confiscate all the weed from legal weed stores and close it down... Which have happens several times during the these last years. FBI follow the laws set for entire USA while the police are restricted to the laws within their own state. So just because it get legalized within a state, doesn't mean it will be legal within the eyes of the white-house.
Also, when it get legal, you can legally grown your own which is great but i doubt legal Marijuana will end up as a corporated owned products.. It will be locked behind prescription just like the rest of the drugs, So far it's still doubtful that liquor-stores will be legalized to sell weed within these 10-20 years because policies takes time to change.
It seem to good to be true and that says it all, so I am allowed to keep my doubts and i hope it doesn't hurt you emotionally in any way.
We can hope and the future is always in motion and i am sure it will be a long bumpy ride before Marijuana can be sold as a regulare none-prescription medicine.
