Unless it's an Al Qaeda brothel, I'm not too worried about the hookers exploding...

If it's legal and regulated it would most likely be much safer and one wouldn't have to worry about being safe. Instead now people buy glass jugs and other off the shelf items that doesn't make them look suspicious. Legallize it and sell a proper baking container that can handle and mishaps in pressure and post the correct recipes online and you won't have half the problems.

With hookers, alot say STDs would skyrocket. Well, Nevada is very well regulated and has one of the lowest STD rates in the country. And they make a fortune off of it.

Keep in mind people that in Detroit Marijuana is legal w/ card. IE Detroit City police aren't making arrest for it. I know the Feds say its illegal but you dont' see them caring to much about the city.

Detroit has yet another high-ranking scandal this week. This time it is the Police Chief Ralph Godbee who has been suspended with pay...

None of this seems to produce any serious changes in Detroit which continues to elect and appoint officials who are corrupt, incompetent, or depraved . . . or all of the above.
The police chief resigned.

I think it's on the ballot in like 5 states this year to legallize it at some level and tax it. I use to watch that marijuana show on TV and it was actually kind of interesting. They always talked how much money they brought in, how much taxes they paid, how many people they employed (including how many growers), and said the cities tried to shut them down time after time yet they could never produce a single crime problem related to their operation and they said they paid millions in taxes for how small they were.

I'm interested in seeing how many states legallize it and how much crime lowers because of it.

Well, since our Legislators legalized alcohol, I haven't heard of any more St. Valentine's day massacres during a discussion of a truckload of booze; lot'sa killings during weed transactions though. :|
