One thing I will point out is if your caught with Possession of any amount of marijuana....you loose ALL your financial grant money, and have to pay back the stuff they have given you.

understand that decriminalization doesnt mean it's legal, it means it's just a reduced infraction of laws, like a traffic ticket, they still fine you, they still take your weed you just dont serve time for simple possession of small quantities
i can live with that
you can live with the same penalties that first offenders usually get anyway, a fine, loss of the weed, possibly a diversionary program and even probation, something thy do give on traffic offenses
why you wanna work for crumbs when you need to be reaching for the whole loaf

Ok someone please explain to me the difference between something Decriminalized, and something Legal? WTF is the difference? Lets say congress and GW announced tonight that weed has been decriminalized.....then a friend of mine gets caught with a gram.
Whats gonna happen?

Dude, this 1.2 trillion dollar deficit we're about to be in could be wiped out in a year or so if MJ was as legal and taxed as alcohol and tobacco.
absolutely and think about the jobs created both at the corporate level as well as large and small businesses, if they packaged it like cigarettes it would mean increased spending on machinery as well, it can benefit the economy in hundreds of areas, not just making it cheaper for dope smokers

decriminalised means it's still a crime, that it's still not actually legal and there will be penalties of all sorts, some could involve losing your license, habitual violators could face felonies even for less than an ounce
legal means they cant do anything unless you're driving under the influence or committing some other crime like stealing a carton of reefer

If its Decriminalized, would it still be available for mass production and sale? Including tax?

no... it would still be illegal, though some states have imposed taxes and if you havent paid them then you risk additional fines and penalties

It's going to happen in the next 10 years, if not sooner. And with that, comes a lot of other changes.

I don't really see complete legalization happening anytime soon. Although I wouldn't rule it out completely. I think we could see decriminalization to the point where you could walk down a busy street smoking a spliff. Kinda of an Amsterdam kinda situation. I can only hope...

supernovasky said: You can check out the statistics here:
http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/publications/factsht/druguse/ Let me spit some statistics and trends to you here...
The following is a percentage of people who have used illegal drugs, the majority of which is Marijuana. This is for EVERYONE older than 12.
The last time this statistic was taken was in 2001.
1978: 31% 1985: 34.4% 1996: 34.8% 1999: 39.7% 2001: 41.7%
So the general age population is growing in admitting that they have used drugs. More people today have used drugs than people in the 70s.
furthermore, check this statistic out... College students that have used drugs... Eventually, you expect the numbers to equalize towards the college student value, because every college student that admits to having used drugs is going to be a "I have used drugs" answer for the rest of their life:
55.6% of college students have used drugs.
Thats why the number keeps increasing. The majority of college students have used drugs for as long as this survey has been out. Eventually, that means that the majority of Americans will have used drugs.
Thats why drug laws are getting more and more lax... the more people that try it, the more people are likely not to demonize others for trying it.
the stat from 2006 in canada says that 52% of people have smoked and either enjoyed or are indifferent. hey wait arent we a democracy. I WANT LEGAL POT!
