If the government willingly endorsed, promoted and regulated the sales of pussy and pot, it could revitalize the economy.
People are always going to fuck and if they don't have a significant other to fuck or if they are hideous and socially inept like me they will pay for sex. It's been going on since prehistoric times. It isn't going to stop. I say the government should take control of and profit from the sex industry.
With the establishment of government-controlled red light districts in all our major cities, the government could;
-Monitor and control the spread of STDs
-Remove the pimp from the equation so that a woman or man who uses their own body as a resource to be exploited claims most of the profits
-Protect these sex workers from violence
-Tax the hell out of the act
The pro has a set price. She gets that price every time she sells herself for sex. Customer are told in advance that the pro has a set price, plus tax. The customer pays more. A lot more. He is taxed up the ass. The government takes their cut after giving the pro her originally quoted price. The government splits their cut three ways by a yet to be determined percentage. Part of this split goes to the Federal or state government to build roads, give teachers pay raises, invest in social security. Part of the split is invested in the community surrounding the red light district. Part of the split is reinvested back into the red light district. There will be medical care and day care in the RLDs. There will be community college annexes in the RLDs. There will be counseling in the RLDs. The prostitutes can use prostitution as a means to secure a better future. They can get a GED, pursue a diploma, learn a craft, get job training. No liberal arts degrees here. They will be taught practical things. Typing, computer use, how to manage a budget, for example. They will be given the skills that will allow them to manage a deli or work as a dental assistant or become an auto mechanic. The idea is to keep the pro safe and healthy until the pro leaves that life and moves on.
With safe fuck zones the number of men using prostitutes would skyrocket. The money would roll in. It won't wipe out the national debt, but it will be a boost for the economy.
People are always going to smoke to seek a high. We've been doing it forever in one form or another. I say the government should take control of and profit from the marijuana industry.
With the manufacture and distribution of joints that meet strict guidelines the government could;
-Control the exact amount of THC in each marijuana cigarette
-Select the least harmful leaves of tobacco or any other medium used to make the joint, ensuring there is a minimum or pesticides and chemical additives
-Tax the almighty Christ out of each pack of joints
-invest in revitalizing our agricultural industry with hemp.
Hemp grows like a, well, like a weed. Hemp would provide us with low cost ethanol, the raw materials for clothing and literally thousands of textiles, a food source healthier and cheaper than soybeans, byproducts which could feed livestock, safe and beneficial cosmetics, non-toxic paint, varnish and detergent, paper from non-polluting paper mills, and building materials from fiberboard and cement to insulation and roofing. Hemp fiber could replace wood fiber and save our forests. Hemp could replace cotton. The amount of THC in industrial hemp can be regulated
Not only could hemp make America the manufacturer it once was, providing the materials for whole home-grown industries and the economic benefits that would follow, but by taxing (and I mean taxing heavily) marijuana cigarettes with set amounts of THC present and allowing advertising in all media, the government could see a windfall of cash. By limiting the amount of THC in each joint we remove the stigma of marijuana as a 'gateway drug' and ease the minds of those who still believe the situations presented in Reefer Madness to be based on actual events. By licensing pot bars we could get more people enjoying a joint or two instead of a drink or two on the way home from work or on a Saturday night out with friends.
In 2005, 16,885 people died in this country in alcohol related motor vehicle crashes... that's forty-six people a day... almost two people every hour. It is estimated that alcohol plays a role in at least 50% of domestic abuse cases.
There is no proof that marijuana use contributes to traffic fatalities, and someone who is stoned is less likely to get violent or start a fight and more likely to head to the corner store and load up on snacks or order a pizza, thus stimulating the local economy instead of draining resources in the form of police and paramedics.
Over time the multitude of home-grown industries arising from the legalization of marijuana and hemp could have a serious impact on the national debt.
Pussy and pot, my friends. They are our salvation.

I wholeheartedly agree, but your plant needs more light Jack. See those yellowing leaves? That's from light deficiency.

That's because he's trying to grow it by a window, even if it was getting direct sunlight, the glass would absorb most of the nutrients the plant needs to not suck.

In my opinion, the primary reason pot is illegal is because of the power the pharmaceutical lobbies have over the federal government. Big pharm wants people to buy their drugs, and pot is in direct competition with many of their biggest sellers (painkillers, antidepressants, anti-emetics, benzodiazepines, etc.).

I figured that my regulating the amount of pot in each cig and having an idea how much THC is in each strain/line/generation of plants they are using they could have some control. I could be wrong.

This is a fantastic idea; I don't understand why everybody is so critical. Of course people have thought about it before generally so it is not a new idea, but there is great detail here. Partitioning tax revenue between social security (I would advise Medicare as well which is in much bigger trouble) then using some money locally as well and also to benefit the escorts (as I prefer to call them) are great ideas. And of course we "tax the hell out" of the pot. Taxation is not regulation, and in any case, re-regulation is the new trend after all the bad craziness in the lending industry, and, finally, taxation has worked out well for the cigarette industry-great revenue machine and the pot is "less bad" for you than tobacco on top of it all.
A while ago I suggested demolishing Alcatraz and replacing that ugly old prison with a legal brothel. If people really want to keep that tourist trap intact, then a good portion of Treasure Island is available. An island brothel would be easily regulated. Then we convert the plethora of medical cannabis clubs from prescription requiring to over the counter distribution. All you have to do is implement the various regulations, taxation structure, and revenue distribution then we will show those Nevadans something! Eventually, this would be a national model, and the good times would roll.

0 for the sake of the picture, but it would've been a -1. 1) Why would the "pro" ever use the counseling you're recommending? 2) Legalize pot, yes, but tax the "almighty christ" out of it? Don't you know that deregulation is the wave of the future and has been since the end of WWII?

Agreed, skrap. I can get all this shit and more down the block.
Both topics are obvious retreads. I just thought this might spur some discussion instead of the usual hysteria and chicks on the rag kicking down the door and dropping a rare comment because ohjesusCHRISTitsHIMihateHIMihatehimihatehimIHATEHIM. You know?
The hemp thing though, that's frustrating. We could get a lot of use out of it and it is ignored.

This is one of those 'everybody thinks it's a great idea; why isn't it happening?' things that sounds really good (especially if you're horny and high, and the 'everybody' you're referring to is also horny and high and in the same room with you) but is absolutely infeasable to pull off in a non-horny-and-high reality. But the real deal with the ready availablity of weed and mogambo isn't "what's good for the country", it's "how can Jack score some of each right the fuck now?".
You're in the Bay area, Nevada's not far away. You can already pay for some nook in an after-work drive if you wanted to. Take soem cash and make it a long weekend and you might see God. You're in the Bay area, Thunderbolt County's just up the road. You can get all the stickybud you want and be back home by midnight. Take some cash and make it a long weekend and you might see God.
In summary: next payday, take $3000 and spend 1/3 of it in Humboldt County and the rest on Nevada hookers, and forget politics.

Hang on a second... It looks like Jack went and took my advice! I'm so proud I could shed a tear: a tear of pedantic sympathy, but a tear nonetheless...
THAT'S how you do it people! You take a topic that has been covered a million times, and spoken of with far more insight, and then you write a post about it in the most boring, uninspired, whiny and pathetic way possible! That's the MCCULLUM way! Wow, I love this guy!
Way to go Jack, keep 'em coming. Next, maybe you could write a piece about insipid people on their MOBILE PHONES and how annoying that is! Oh, wait, you've already done that....
Okay, here's ANOTHER list for ya..
Irritating people and their pets
Young girls dressing like sluts
Environmentalists are all tree hugging pussies
Immigrants are all after a free meal
The media is biased
These are just a few topics that have been written about a million times by people way smarter and more astute than you, Jack, but that's never stopped you before! So go ahead, give us another post about "Soy Milk; Whats up with that?" or "Drunken Whores on Youtube" because I for one can't get enough of your weak ass, no vision having, cat loving, crybaby banality.
