I don't partake...of the 420

but

Silly as I am
wouldn't it make more sense for the government (right now fighting druglords in mexico)
to
either Allow it (are doing)
or better
State farms of properly documented certified all number 1 american weed!
(properly taxed and documented and giving a nice profit to the state)

or is that a weird idea?

Why 'partake' and why even tell us you don't enjoy any? I'm in Oregon. It's legal here. Bluenorthwest Sep 2015 #5

It is a totally ordinary idea, used to be popular with industry in this country even. bemildred Sep 2015 #6

But I think it would make sense for us to allow it, regulate and tax it.

Prohibition has been tried before with the same results as this time. And the government used to grow lots of hemp.
