Sorry. To put it simply, when there're more people to sell to and it's easier to get hold of large amounts your product it becomes more profitable to lower prices so that more people buy. When there're only a few people but they all really need the product you can, and should, charge through the roof for it.

You're wrong, your diagram is wrong, I'm right because I'm a cool drug dealer.

I noticed,
It's come to the point to where if you wanted to make a point,
you'd actually look our statements,
and here's the kicker,
ACTUALLY DEBATE LIKE YOU SHOULD!

Oh, how I love it when these topics come up.

Legalization of cannabis WOULD help the economy, whether you like it or not. At it's current rate of production, legal marijuana generates $35.8 billion per year. Profits from marijuana exceed that of corn and wheat combined, and that's just the legal margins. Revenue from illegal domestic marijuana is speculated at around $60 billion. Marijuana is the number one cash crop in 12 states, and in 30 others, it is among the top three.

May I point out that here in the Netherlands we have both legal weed and an economical crisis.

Any opinions? I'd be glad to contradict them.


i like the way you only argued one small point of the argument for marijuana legalization and completely ignored the 39723984728 other valid arguments


i also like the way you consistently avoid answering anybody who gives an argument that undeniably defeats yours throughout the course of this thread


i also like how you didn't read this thread, when you really, really should have

May I point out that here in the US we have had an economical crisis and illegal weed.

US =/= Netherlands

His point was that legalising weed on its own is not enough to avert an economic crisis; not that weed causes one.
