Marc Emery: B.C. Liberals, NDP can’t stop gang violence with prohibition Just read this interesting article off the Straight. Just want to know people's view about this, primarily about prisions being recruiting centers for gangs. Biased? Bullshit? Truth? Discuss. Quote:

Marc Emery is a hell of a smart man. |
waiting for Jason's reply |
Marc Emery is a criminal, has a well-know pro-marijuana agenda and I can't wait to see him get shipped to the US to face drug charges. I'm sure he will enjoy doing time in an American jail. And it's interesting that he is advocating striking down marijuana prohibition laws since he is one of the groups (along with gangs), that profit from the drug trade. |

i've never voted in my life. But i will vote for the Green party this year. When is the election? |
the green party is not the marijunana party. |
Quote:
It is now as Marc Emery is about to drop the marijunana party because the green party has the same views of legalization. And yes this article is right on the money! |

prisons are like summer camp for criminals in all honesty... its a time where they dont have to worry about anything and their minds are let loose they actually end up enjoying themselves sure there will be the odd fight but that happens everywhere its a place where they meet new people and the low rung guys get to meet some bosses and they'll likely have jobs when they come out |
The only solution is to turn Vancouver Island into a penal colony and ship prisoners convicted of Indictable Offence there never to return. Three summary convictions and you also qualify for a life time banishment. Drastic times call for drastic measures. :) |

With several economists estimating that the Marijuana industry is worth more than the Lumber industry, I think they should just legalize it, and tax it to hell. Its really quite obvious - the incentive for growing and the associated crime cashflow would be cut, the arrests/justice clog up would be cut down, and that money could be plowed back into the system. I really don't believe that people already smoking weed would move to hardcore drugs just because weed is no longer illegal. The only other way to defeat the drug trade is via draconian penalties like in China or Singapore, but the Canadian legal system is based on freedoms and there is no way the public or gov would vote for mandatory death penalty for drug possession. If weed was produced and sold very cheaply by the government, the market price would drop so much that there'd be zero incentive to grow. |

why spend millions fighting over something that can't win? Why not just legallize it and make some money from it through sales and taxes? |
Even if its legalized here, crime would still occur as people try to smuggle it into the states and overseas. |

werd. society as a whole are way too focus on reacting rathering than preventing. having longer sentence or even the death penalty DOES NOT DETER!!! well actually it does, it deter law abiding citizen with jobs and responsibility from committing a crime that will land them in jail, it does not deter true criminal which are the ppl we really want to control. once in jail, the true criminals (ie gangbangers hard croe drug dealers) meet and network with other hardcore criminals. On the other hand regular joe who for whatever reason lands himself in jail is now stigmatize for the rest of his life and is likely bullied in jailed or "hardened" up and is no less violent than the other inmates, worse case scenario he kills or hurts himself in jail. The reason why some criminal got into crime is because of their surrounding, they maybe in poverty and the only way they see around them to hustle is by doing crimes. Is it really a good idea to put these people into a concentrated place as a punishment? when doctors gather they talk abt doctors stuff, when lawyers gather they talk abt the law, when criminals gather is it only natural they exchange information abt their own profession. |
The US will never allow Canada to legalize marijuanna. That would defeat their drug policies. Can you imagine how much trafficking that would create on the border? The way I see it, if we're gonna legalize Marijuanna, the entire North America would need to do it as well. I don't see that happening anytime soon. There's too much money to be made in the US for putting criminals in prisons. |

Marc Emery is a wise man. Everything he says is the truth. More gangsters come out of jail, then go in. Illegal marijuana is the primary source of income for all organized crime groups. Legalize the herb, and you cut money for the birds. Yo, bricks of the white Pounds of the purp And for the right price, come around to the turf We don't keep tucked outside with the work I strap it on a bitch make her fly with the work Ya boy want 17-5 for the work 23 in the south take a ride with the work Fuck what you heard, I'm a grind till it hurt Knock on wood, I get caught won't say a word We call it a brick, they call it a bird We call it a corner, they call it a curb I got a hotline, you can call for the herb Mathematics with the addicts, you can call me a nerd I don't get money nikkaa, that is absurd I passed it like magic, then ball like Byrd You can find me in the hood from the first to the third Goin hard for them clear diamond stones and in them furs |
