[QUOTE="Paradoxum, post: 64761671, member: 292677"] I don't think taxing it is that bad if the tax isn't too high. Maybe it is unnecessary though. I don't think legalising something is the same as encouraging it. People should be free to live their lives how they wish as much as possible. No one has any right to taking away that freedom, even if they think it would improve culture. Personally I'd rather live in a world where everyone smokes cannabis once a week, rather than a society where everyone works themselves into a stress caused death. Doing nothing is good for people too. I'd say that viewing free time as a waste is very dystopian. You can make something out of your life while also having free time. If you consider cannabis like alcohol, then it will be used after work in free time. When I go out to town drinking it isn't as if other people are doing work. My parents, for example, just sit at home and watch tv at night. Allowing drugs doesn't waste time because people do it in what would be their free time anyway. I agree that taxes might be worth avoiding for the sake of the poor though. Taxes wont put the more wealthy off buying something, but they will unfairly disincentivize the poor, or make the poor poorer. :) I don't think they should heavily tax cannabis, if at all. I only think the cigarette tax might be justified so that the money can be put into healthcare. [/QUOTE]
