Why I Support Marijuana Prohibition?
Why I don't want to legalize marijuana
I am a Mercedes/Lexus/Lincoln car dealer. Many of my customers pay cash. Few of them dicker on the prices and usually pay the sticker price with no questions asked, Others will lease with the company I recommend at very high interest rates and carrying charges and earns me an additional kickback commission.
I am a politician who has attracted a large constituency with my anti-drug rhetoric. I have gotten funded many anti drug and rehab programs in my community. I can pontificate feel good speeches and take the high moral ground with impunity. I generate very good looking TV sound bites against the "War on Some Drugs" .
I am a member of a religion the teaches that only we are of high moral character and it is our duty and destiny to bring morality to the world, by whatever means necessary. Only we know what's best for everybody else.
I am an agent in DEA/FBI/CIA/ABC/XXX and am allowed to seize "suspicious" money, cars, homes, airplanes, .... or anything I think may have been involved with the drug trade. I can do it with impunity. The "War on Some Drugs" is a real power trip.
I am a bank officer who has opened numerous accounts that deposit up to $9,999 in cash almost every day. 95% of that money I am legally allowed to loan or invest or
..... The "War on Some Drugs" has really added my bottom line.
I am an employee of a jail/prison that did not exist until the quadrupling of incarcerations since 1980 because of the "War on Some Drugs".
I am a bureaucrat who gets ten times the budget funding I ever got before the "War on Some Drugs" started.
I am the owner of a drug rehabilitation facility that gets $20,000 a pop for a "client/patient" that has a successful "cure" rate of under 20% which means I get about $100,000 to get a person off drugs. Most/all of the money comes either insurance or government funding. It really doesn't cost you anything.
I own a sneaker store where the sneakers can cost up to $200 a pair and the neighborhood kids come in and buy several pairs every week.
I am a person who does not believe you have the intelligence or common sense to make your own decisions regarding your personal life.
I am a career criminal with a history of violence. I am very glad the dope smokers have filled the jails and prisons because it means I always get out earlier because of "overcrowding".
I own a jeweler store where I sell a lot of gold chains and diamond earrings for cash to drug dealers.
I grow and sell marijuana and get as high as $900 a plant, maybe two or three or more times a year. And I can grow over 100 plants at a time in my garage and/or backyard.
I am the owner of a massively profitable pharmaceutical company which could be badly hurt by the legalization of a potent medicine that can be grown by anyone anywhere.
I am an executive in a large profitable conglomerate that owns several beer and liquor brands. I don't want marijuana to replace any of our sales. Nor do I want people to realize marijuana has fewer of the after, or less deleterious side, effects of my products.
I am a television/advertising executive. If you indulge in marijuana, you will probably be able to see through our balderdash. Besides, we want you to zone out on our shows, not catch a little buzz on your own. We won't be able to exploit half-truths and fabricate myths about this insidious weed on our 20/20Cops60Minutes48hoursDateline... tabloids.
I am the owner of a privately operated state prison. The more people in prison, the more labor I have to contract out, under-bidding small business and honest labor.
I am a Columbian/Bolivian/Mexican/Canadian/... government official and I see how much money comes into my country from both legal "interdiction" money from the US government and how much "illegal" purchase money the drug trade brings into my country. It has become a very, very (if not the most) important "export" for us. The illegal drug trade gives us hard currency to purchase many goods on the world market.
I am a television programming executive. The government pays me to interject subliminal anti-drug messages into our tv shows.

in mendocino county, Brown-Forman (Seagrams) bought local largish grape corporation, Fetzer. through fetzer, acqired a cherry orchard which under its owner george butler had been a community resource for food and joy for many years. while hosting dog and pony shows for the community about the cherry orchard, complete with many promises, Fetzer/Forman cut down the orchard, to be replaced with more wine grapes. and the county obligingly gave fifty thousand dollars in clean air grant $ to Fetzer/Forman to drive its workers fifty miles each way to work there completing the atrocity. here's one for you, mr. stossel. mendocino county is where jim jones of peoples temple controlled the county government for some years; he took his money out of the social services department here. jones supposedly died at jonestown, but his old buddies still run the county, which is home to a zillion San Francisco Bay emigrs. any young folks looking for a big fight twixt good and evil, think mendocino county this summer! a little bit of old mississippi in northern california. y'all come . . .
Good list. Here's another one: I am a contractor who builds prisons . . .
Great list. I'd like to contribute:
I'm a Child Psychiatrist, specialing in Adolescent Substance Abuse Disorders. My practice would suffer. Kids wouldn't be able to get pot as easily if it were regulated and taxed. I'd lose a lot of money
How about this one:
I was once President of the United States. My family's wealth is from oil, pharmaceuticals and scamming the treasury with defaulted loans. We hold the franchise in the prison supply industry and have 2million slaves working for pennies an hour to make us rich. We were able to skim billions during my tenure - till this damn pot-smoking, draft-dodging, hippy baby boomer came along and screwed everything up for us. Balanced Budget, MY A$$ He's cost us way too much money. My buddies kept him on his toes, though. God knows, if we had let him alone he might have ended the War on Hemp,... er, 'DRUGS' - War on Drugs. But we fixed him, impeached his a$$.. Little bugger, still wouldn't go away. Well, he's history now.. 7 more months, that's all, and my family moves back into OUR house. As long as the money keeps comin' in, we'll kick that other environ-puppy all the way back to Tennessee. BTW, thank you all for the donations you keep making to my boy's campaign. You just keep fillin' up those gas tanks and we'll do just fine. We'll be back in Washington and robbin' you blind again in no time.
