Black market. A comment for discussion
There is a percieved glut on the market, not because of the Black Market, no! Lets tell it like it is. The problem lies with the powers that be exerting control over the masses. There is a market for the product. The product is not being distributed because of government restriction and red tape. Pot they said was bad so laws were made to surpress its use. The legal system was greased $ to supress those using it. The prison system was fed $ to supress those using it. The media was empowered to disinform, shame and condemn those using it. The reason they said was because it was bad for people. The government had to act to PROTECT the people. No the reason was because drugs are percieved as being the major cause of YOU not being able to function optimally at work or missing time at work. Which it was percieved would snowball thru the economy from one business to the next and in turn one industry to the next and eventually effecting the "GROSS DOMESTIC OUTPUT" yes kiddies its all about the $$$ How its been percieved dope cuts into the productivity of the nation. Now they want to tax it and think about this too, if joe average is getting rich off of the market then he might stop working "contributing to the GDP" if enough Joe's find wealth then . . . hmmmm? Could this be why pot stocks have been $$$ supressed on the market? Might that explain the manipulation occuring on the Alternate Trading System where Banks and institutions manipulate financial holdings of entire industries without impunity? Your thoughts?
