how much control would they have? I guess you could require a license to sell and sell at stores yadyaya in my essay I had suggested specific stores that have to be like 100 yards away from schools or religious buildings...
anyways, I got no problems against weed, I'm just trying to be realistic about it. exerpt from my essay! (it's short, wrote it the night before it was due) " . Too much federal and state money is spent fighting the selling of marijuana when it could be spend against more serious and harmful drugs like cocaine and heroin. Yes, marijuana can slow your reactions and alter your state of mind while you’re high, but aside from the high time, it has no long term effects. Many studies “link” marijuana to cancer because of certain cancer-causing chemicals found in it, however, there are many vegetables that contain far more of those chemicals. Unlike cigarettes, marijuana has no addicting chemicals and has yet to be proven to cause cancer. Sure, pot may increase your chance of getting cancer, but only if used heavily and frequently. Virtually no one smokes marijuana for it to lead to any kind of problem. The only way it can affect your health is if paired with cigarettes or hard alcohol. When many people hear the words marijuana and legalized in the same sentence, they often imagine everyone turning into potheads, and the law being completely liberal, but that’s not the case here. If marijuana were to be legal, only licensed vendors would be allowed to sell, and buyers must be 21 or older and able provide ample identification. Store owners would have the right to refuse to sell to anyone if they are suspicious about the authenticity of the I.D. provided. These stores wouldn’t be within a 500 foot radius of any schools or religious buildings. Buyers could purchase up to 1 ounce every day, but not more, and a tax would be placed on it. " |
