cheap pot
the cost of marijuana is falling because of the legal medical marijuana supply. this is good news for the user and the abuser, obviously. but it's also good news for the non-user. why? cause it takes money away from the violent gangs that trade the controlled substance illegally. less money for them means they have fewer guns. and less incentive to take over another gang's turf. usually by indiscriminately firing mass quantities of bullets where there's a high density of civilians. the actions of a few cities have cut crime more than anything else has. try for just a moment to imagine the effect on crime if pot were legalized at the federal level. i have a dream that some day we the people will grow some balls and enough spine to follow our brains and act like human beings instead of trail horses who stick their noses in the butts of the horses in front of them and mindlessly go wherever they went.
