		<description>41+ billion? No but I can see the sales reaching upto 10-20 billion a year. Its, another chapteer of that fairy tale, The American Dream, to see this stuff legal. If it hever happens, I suggest that is should not be sold as strrt value, butlest than half of the price-Somewhere around 40-50 bucks an ounce with a tax scale like $10 federal, $10 State, $5 county, $5 city and the cultivator whom I suggest should not be people like me or you, but big businesses like Phil Morris  would get like $10-15 per sale with no extra taxes so that one could open jobs and pay people properly for cultivation and security! It would be a bad idea to import this stuff from places like China, just as Wal-Mart would do, because it would defeat the purpose of supporting the American economy, for you see, there would be only sale, and not many jobs produced other that transporting. DC needs to get thier heads out of thier butts and put the marijuana plan in motion. But passing this law in DC cant happen by the politicians. The American People has to decide rather if we want this stuff around or not. 300+ million people in the U.S.-More or less than a third are adults over 21.We can only ask Washington to ask The People to vote on legalization. And there must be rules with hefty fines and severe, yet humane punishments for abusing the stuff such as driving while you&#039;re high. I also suggest that there should be no home cultivation and in home sale, because that is not safe not to mention tax evasion. Yes, I like to have this stuff, but the game must be played fair. I really don&#039;t want Obama to be the one to pass this. Well, its just the fact that we Americans have turned into a buch of big fat babies and like to point fingers, and Obama as a blackman...well, you figure that one out, but to make it clear, one would praise him, while the next will speculate the legalization caused by a blackman. His presidency was marked with crisis. I only wish he didn&#039;t do all that spending, which is not a good image for someone who is suppose to be bugeting. All the man can do is what he is doing now...Nothing, because there is nothing he can do to save the economy from what  took some 30 years to come to this state we are in. Now, back to marijuana...Bottom line and speaking of nothing, thats one thing that canbe done...Taking marijuana(Nothing) and turning it into something to support and please us to have the privilage, not a right, to consume Marijuana.</description>
