IMO, the cost of a quality management system suitable for a privatized, legal drug producer will be the equivalent to the 'danger pay' that the drug pushers are charging.

It's not cheap to get into the pharma/medical industry.

Good point, but why would it be any more than tobbacco? Buying weed is a hell of a lot more expensive than cancer sticks right now...

thats an interesting point, but are you sure that the regulations of marijuana should mirror tobaco? I think that marijuana's phychotropic affect and it's connection to impaired driving, schizophrenia, etc warrants a different approach than tobacco.

Additionally, i think it would be a damn crime if someone didn't process the THC into a suppository so a dose of THC can be delivered without the carcinogenic risk of smoking. Such a produce ought to be regulated like an over the counter pharmaceutical, not like tobaco or alcohol,
imo.

The synthetic THC doesn't seem to work as well as the organic. There is something more than just the THC that seems to make pot work its wonders.

thats obvious. even tobacco is more addictive than the nicotene patch.

It isn't about addiction, it's the effect that the two have on people. The synthetic shit gets some people all cranked up and paranoid, while the cannibas plant, ingested or smoked, has a mellowing influence. So there is something else, acting like some sort of catalyst, within the plant. it's not just the THC.

There are much better delivery methods. You can vapourise, you can bake.

That would be the CBD. In plants that have been bred for high THC content, CBD is practically non-existant. CBD is an anti-psychotic while THC can cause a small number of people to exhibit psychotic behaviour.

Alright then, alchohol.

You like suppositorys, we get it already.

Like an over the counter pharmaceutical? I don't see why not, though it is a recreational drug like tobbacco or alchohol...

Goverment produced pot would be boring, it would have a regulated amount of THC and come in a plain brown wrapper, its been a long time for me but when you scored it was always differnet stuff, some good, some bad and some was reallllly good!
No doubt the crooks would still produce the best product and the illegal industry would still be booming.

Does the government brew your beer or roll your cigs? No? Then why are you thinking they would sell marijuana??

You make it legal and private industry takes over.

I can see the current gang members in a future where pot is legal.

Working on the farms plowing, planting and picking.
Rolling joints and packing.
Driving their small vans making deliveries to gas stations and convenience stores.
