As I said earlier, if you price Pot so low to put criminals out of work, you will also put distillery workers out of work too and make us a drug dependent society

What?

Have you watched any television this decade? We are already a drug dependant society. And it isn't dependant on illegal drugs either..,..

Legalising Pot won't work because there will be an underground delivery network because it is so profitable
Good point.....I will expound in a language even fresc can understand because I know he is addicted to reading my posts.....some time ago there were pizza joints that sold what they purported to be quality pizzas with minimum and maximum state-sanctioned and regulated toppings. These were priced fairly hight so that all costs (including pension plans and golden parachutes) were covered and profits were in no danger of erosion. Poof!!!!along came the Ceasar Ceasar peddling what the indignant termed Underground Pizzas that were discounted albeit not as many fancy toppings (let's liken this to the discounted OEM pot that will hit the streets packaged in, gasp, baggies instead of the high end glossy printed packaging and designer labels that accompany the govt/competitors product). There will some people that do not make a lawyers wage that will buy the Ceasar Ceasar pot simply because they get more for what they can't afford. Even with discounted "product" Ceasar is still profitable.....you just gotta it :-)

"Home distillation is a hassle"

Really? and a grow op is not?

""Legalising Pot won't work because there will be an underground delivery network because it is so profitable""

You bet it will work. How many people will continue to buy pot in a ally or some shady dudes home? All of the sudden its available at a pharmacy store near you.
Right next to the Viagra pills. Betcha it will hurt Viagra sales :)
