Well done power!
Now it will be sold under the counter
it will cost 3 x more (more profit for the mob)
3 x more people will smoke it as it will be cooler
and they will fine people caught selling or buying it (more profit for the power)
Bah! lets go back and support the local growers (of wine and beer of course). 
if you were ment to smoke u would have a chimney on ur head.
let dead beats be dead beats
Have known lots of pot smokers over the years (and there are alot of them ) , the only ones who have ; created a problem ,
been a problem,
had mental problems ,
HAD those issues before they smoked and still do ,
I know SO MANY smokers who are in their lat 40's and some into their 60's who have run , and still run very reputable, and profitable buisinesses, have very happy well adjusted families, including their children, and continue to do so .There are also a few that hold Govt jobs , but I cant go into that
Lots of people drink , but only SOME have problems with it ,and thats FAR worse for you than a smoke once and a while,( and yes I have partaked in the herb , but 1 or 2 joints a year aint going to harm me)
Sorry Mark , I am not with you on the : it causes so much harm one ,--- those that do , probably did before and always will
I've also seen many normal teenagers become paranoid wrecks within months of smoking it. Hospitalised with no chance of ever being normal.
Many people drive pissed and don't kill themselves or anyone, maybe it should be legal?
Sorry to here that , I recon I have a few years on you Mark , and fortunatly for me and those concerned , I've not come across normal ,nice well adjusted teens ,turning foul or having to be admitted for problems that relate to smoking pot.
Have employed soooo many over the years,
ANYONE who drives PISSED should be locked up!!!
There is no excuse for that
I think all drugs should be legal.
It then becomes a health problem that health professionals can finally educate the public about without fear or prejudice
Crime disappears overnight.
I see nothing but positives from legalisation of all drugs.
its a sad state of affairs when you can jam illegal heroin up your arm in a legal injecting room for the sake of harm minimisation but you can't have a couple of tokes on a spliff at the weekend for fear of being drug tested at work on monday and loseing your job .
yet i know others that have taken to ekies , amphetamines and LSD because its undetectable after a few days and get away with it
please bear in mind "drugs are bad nnOK " 
Last I heard Kronic was grass clippings and herbs soaked in chemicals and dried out. And people want to smoke it?!?
I've lost count of the number of people I have come across that smoke pot or inject amphetamine etc that think its harmless, and are totally oblivious to the fact that their health and mental health are suffering so badly they have done irreparable (sp?) damage to themselves, their jobs/careers and most importantly their family and friends.
And talking of shrooms.. just for good measure
It's all fun until weeks later your at the dentist..

few mates had a big smoke of it on the weekend continuous laughing for about 25 min out side a dominoes pizza store at a blue dominoes sign and people in pizza uniforms couldn't even order pizza..
After trying i must say it was a fun drug as a once off to see what the fuss is about but obviously has no place in a workforce environment especially working with heavy equipment and jobs which require communication .
Im glad it has been banned.
</smart point>
But what Mark said is true. I think people think of it as a "harmless" drug. It used to be, but the stuff is so damn strong nowadays it has to be taken with some consideration. If you smoke like a few cones every day I reckon it's the equivalent of drinking a bottle of spirits or so every day. You're going to get ****ed up.
Even though it is illegal a huge number of people still use it, regularly. The fact is the total damage caused by it, real damage, pales in comparison to the damage caused by alcohol and cigarettes.
...did I just contradict myself?
All in moderation.
Those that don't drink and smoke die healthy.
The line between drug and poison is very very fine... most drugs are classified as poisonous, including alcohol.
Too much coffee will kill you. Too much water can kill you.
Personally I agree with PR
Wanna hear something funny...I had to google 'Kronic', never heard of it until this thread started!
Waaay back, when I was a teen, a work colleague (apprentice) and a few others decided to try boiling up (insert exotic flower name) and eating the petals, as it was growing in our local botanical garden. I turned up at his place the next day to get a lift to trade-school and he was still hallucinating!
2 of his mates ended up wandering the street that night with no pants on & getting locked up, whilst he swore that I had called in to have brekky with him that morning! He even remembered the conversation he had at brekky with me and his ex girlfriend's dad (who had passed away a couple of years before!)...totally trippin!
As for dangerous - I was too young to drive, so he drove the 2hrs to trade-school. he fell asleep 3 times on that journey & went onto the gravel, I had to grab the wheel and yell at him each time, he also drove into some peoples driveway that he thought he knew!
You see i don't think so.
A conspiracy theory once told me that the USA held out bringing their lads home from Vietnam for a long time as they were worried about how many lads would come back as opium addicts, however when they did come back few continued with their habit.
I don't believe more people will use drugs than they do already. But legalisation not only means that you get what you buy it means total transparacy of where the substannce has come from.
How can you tell your experimenting larger than life bullet proof teenager "say no to drugs" when all their friends are telling them its great and that the oldies don't know sh!t.
Lots of things in society are bad but making drugs illegal is not going to stop people from using them or even restrict their availability. Everyone knows someone who can get them a $50 baggie.
However making them illegal will tie up huge amounts of money, lead to corruption on a grand scale and facilitate crime.
It also drives users underground and makes what is essentially a health problem a legal one.
