Give the people what they want! And, what the people want is pot... The system has failed, lawlessness prevails upon the land and the only official response is violence on the non-violent... the system has failed...

I'm a cannabis grower. About 20 plants a year. More than enough for my personal requirements. The rest I sell to my work mates and friends for CASH. I make about $5000 a year. It's a sweet little earner that tops up my meagre wages. I have no paper work, tax, gst or other compliance costs to worry about. If cannabis was legalised, my little side business would be stuffed. People could purchase it legally just like they purchase a 6-pack of beer. The Government would make millions in taxes, less violence and crime plus the Police budget could be diverted to combat other more serious crimes. You'd put the gangs out of business. Small growers like me would lose out and in the end I'd only plant enough just for me. Please don't legalise it. At least growers, criminals and the government agree on something.
