[QUOTE="FordSVTFan, post: 11565952, member: 2243"] I understand the intent of prohibition. I also agree that marijuana is less addictive and detrimental than alcohol. Further, research has shown that when a person becomes high on marijuana they stop smoking and enjoy their high. Conversely, when a person drinks alcohol and becomes intoxicated/buzzed, they rarely stop to enjoy the buzz and they continue drink until drunk or incapacitated. Regulating marijuana and taxing it appropriately can and will have a huge impact on our society. It will reduce the load on L.E., the court system, jails and prisons, and will increase our revenue base. It is estimated that even with the tax on marijuana, it will be much cheaper than it is now and the quality will be regulated as it would likely be controlled under the FDA and grown to specific standards using actual principles of farming. Also, it is estimated that the tax will fully fund medicare and prescription benefits as well as help to save social security. That does not even include the reduction of the prison population and associated costs of prosecution. The main reason they had to make it a Constitutional Amendment was because there were states at that time (1916) that still allowed alcohol production even though the trend was for a dry country. However, the main impetus was that we were entering into World War 1 and the Germans were the main owners of breweries here in the US and it was a Pro American stance to get rid of these Germans in our country. Im not going to continue to going around and around with you on this topic as you clearly do not understand the powers that allow the Federal Government to promulgate laws and are thoroughly confused as to the need and purpose of Constitutional Amendments. I suggest you call your elected officials and propose the need for a Constitutional Amendment to them. [/QUOTE]
