Ahh yes Mr green run, I enjoyed your original comment, the fact that something is illegal actually makes it a prime target for underground trading, smuggling and trading.

There is something about breaking rules that humans love to do, not to mention that because something is illegal, prices actually go up, making it a prime target for those liking for quick cash(criminals)

In my opinion, decriminalization of weed will actually help in bringing down the number of smokers .

Decriminalization also means that an addict doesn't have to suffer in the dark, he can easily be identified and helped, it means that the government can control the quality and quantity circulating the country, it means that poorly or highly toxic strains can be removed, thereby leaving the good strains.

It means the medical benefits can finally be explored fully.

Seems you too have done research on this Mr green run :D
