Also the question today on how -- Paul how we card dot com where does the voting stand at this point Nancy."

" Well the question today is should marijuana be legalized in Massachusetts. For revenues say because of course. If we legalize it we can tax it."

" Suddenly this abhorrent behavior is creates a nice revenue stream for -- to 65% currently say nothing can. -- mean meaning 45%. Are saying yes why not let's find out what Jeff has to say Jeff you are on the air would he think about this."

" Well -- record well record on mammography expert involved."

" Yeah so you remember the sixties."

" All you final round of the sixty -- public poll over one. So you are in case you're wondering about what 35%. Are -- top 45 specifically carpet show America that. You have 452 that you come up with a hundred I have."

Now marijuana and gotten them between the -- You know more powerful they've actually improved on this incredible."

" There's actually decriminalization. Argument that plays on that theme that if it were legal it would have to be so concentrated because you wouldn't be smuggling it and trying to hide it in keeping in small quantities -- control -- sixty more of it."

" Still the government would do for government would. The controlled -- like it's already done."

" Larry -- you -- grown up in the crowd here today I can tell that."

" record. A lot of these -- if you take a look at the annual you know marijuana during ground on Boston Common. But show up trouble also the show.

" I -- I missed the front in addition to talking about I -- could be channels circuit yesterday it came across like the Learning Channel whatever white. They showed some guy it was gambling in Nevada but he was from California. Any at a fake -- cat like for medicinal purposes they got -- the answer that. How everything's got felt really great and that in fact get these idiots you know am I don't think it should be legalized anyway because. If it against a lot they want to make it not against the lock people gonna pick it -- maybe it was that you may end up. Introducing more people it with a I I don't I picked it up against."

" The classic argument is prohibition of alcohol list. Criminalized for awhile in this country with. Pretty bad results and then it became legal again and this argument is basically you can't drive that kind of human behavior underground people want to Alter their state of consciousness they have since the dawn of time whether it was just some. We keep that fermented any pain in someone realizing eat me drink -- then you get high whatever people always doing it takes different forms in different cultures in some places they smoke it in some places they drink it in someplace they snorted or they -- or whatever. And -- best to leave it out in the open now -- can be treated as a medical problem if there's abuse involved can be regulated there can be laws against operating vehicles there can be social taboos against overdoing it the way we tend to do with alcohol in our society obviously some people have addictions or compulsive behavior -- can't control themselves but better to keep it in the open rather than shoving an underground where it actually. Only gets worse how do you respond to those arguments."

" Our idol and all that it -- that this -- that children -- that'll actually guess. But that it you know I I I am against I know you know I I just find that it fuel. If fuel you know what prohibition at all that people aboard saying backed bid on are you give people now would think that they can do what they want. You've got to do remember that other stuff it's the idea it's not gonna be -- but that -- could have -- people doing -- like and -- packets. It's legal in all I it's I would say the same thing is that he -- get a condom is say okay -- they you don't have a fact that we've given its own ticket Canada anyway you know I mean I do think. -- the people don't think things broke they get they all the legal likened to let people they all hope they don't think for themselves they follow. Other people I I do --"

" What did the other part of the argument is if you make it a crime then people were already criminals will get involved -- people are -- involved in violent behavior. Organized or disorganized crime it's sudden daylight having appeal legal that we they control it where is it legal then suddenly. You know regular companies control it for better or for worse."

" I want you know punishment and we we don't punishment if they don't get the ones that are doing here I know they're they know the war on Friday that they not working I mean it. I just don't think making it legal what -- I think you have to go the other way and that taking there the once -- to criminals but -- out how how. Good that's gonna come about how you gonna be able to do that I don't know but I don't think legalizing it is better. Help them because like that fact that the four I was on you know he's the all the up quite yet come out and and they act like the biggest morons -- they come up that's what you. Execute practicing when you when you pick -- part of these kind of people you'll see. People functioning people having a problem with the -- I think you should be in the criminal gonna do what anyway you know. It's -- on that it don't make it legal but I think it's a Bedingfield and I."

" Thanks so much for your comments Chris I really appreciate. Chris definitely among the 65%. In the Alley poll saying men don't make it legal even if you -- taxes still now worth making it legal just for the cash he -- on the air weeping about this."

" My week. Do Mike Mike ran out for a bag of -- knows he'll be back any moment now -- on -- on the air right. Hey what do you think about decriminalizing pot or even legalizing it so you can tax it."

" Well I you have to be against it -- have to be well I figure. Most of the people that are better. Smoke better. Dead at. It's gonna be young people okay who would strike just got their license and all of a sudden now it's decriminalized. And they're not campaign attention drivers now they got there I'd vote there iPods and their -- follows in their texting. And they're playing with the radio doing everything that driver and now the at least don't don't forget about it."

" John do you think alcohol should be made. Illegal."

" You know update they've got the laws to control alcohol now it's up to the job -- not to over serve and in other package stores are still going to be at parent of somebody goes and breaks too much then not be. Sites that there and -- they've made that decision and says he got the pick the -- but let's leave it I'll kill anybody."

" Right and it's also up to all of us as individuals. Who have freedoms in society -- also behave responsibly and not get behind the -- of the car for impaired so forth then obviously not everybody lives up to that standard but do you view alcohol differently than marijuana."

" Oh yeah it's a lot different. You know I'm not so I I don't want kids drink alcohol leader tiny bit there's."

" And adults and we talked about it. We talked about miners -- clouds the issue let's just talk about totally consenting adults. Behind the walls of my house and sitting there alone if -- something in the my body and I never leave my house they never affect anyone else. How can it be a crime for needed the coming in my body. That. You know I enjoy and I didn't steal it and I'm not running any money to get the money you do it and I'm not going on in my house with a gun after I do it or car anything. How is that a violation of anyone's rights they're --"

" You know what I think it maybe -- can -- to grow Iran and not have any tax audit I mean okay I'm 44. -- place -- to go I didn't grow it bikers and in good stuff. They don't but I don't smoke it already or any guys a figure that's good it's I can't handle it -- stop smoking a long time ago and it that's different. That's definitely wanna -- itself instead homes. --"

" Right so let's choosing John -- past there so he knows where of he speaks what -- he speaks thanks for sharing your thoughts -- this John. All right we gonna mystery caller here mr. X you -- on the air on how a car shall."

" I gotta agree with the last call -- IE but there are. I don't have a problem with anybody's smoking but the kids don't smoke get get a little lot of control it would give Nixon what alcoholics not a good thing. But like the other guys -- a typical purity all plants. I'm I think I'll put that but it'll bite at the store in the government as they regulating it under out again it on the ground. I could require a lot and I don't have to pay that price like I could shop brought up I want."

" So awestruck but just it's you're really a consumer advocate here mr. X ray."

" Well you know it's something like the bill I don't Jordan caught everybody like that kids like her grandchildren. It's not a lot -- always -- You know what they say that people don't get up and go to work I get up every day go to work there every."

" So do you think marijuana should be illegal is you're an example of the functioning member of society with a loving family and your productive in the law by Orleans so."

" I don't know albeit illegal because like this. Like the guy before me -- get all big. Kids abused it may drive the college B iPod on -- ever been after I thought applauded the way presented that I think the -- is all right so. I like it the way it has leave it on a ball fly in and you know I can live with that that I can go get myself on the ground and I'm not forced to pay any taxes on a."

" But the -- apparently doesn't work because you don't even have to give your real name there's no penalty for don't pay the fine -- don't pay a traffic ticket but this seems like -- toothless slaw right."

" It well literally it it's like. You know when you get caught it's like being illegal alien you don't have to show me -- you can columnist someone else so every other --"

" How about another bill where if you don't pay the hundred dollar fine there's a thousand dollar fine and there is a penalty for not paying that."

" That's a little bit. 500 that's I think that's a little beep when you look at that people get called what Coke or crack in the -- they go to court because there's not."

" We wouldn't pay the thousand dollars unless you failed to pay the first hundred dollars a trending."

" You. Did they I don't know it's it's it's called salt but I gotta like the way it's shut up right now on the box and I can. I can shop around I don't wanna stay up mr. Patrick get paid taxes -- back -- we."

" So I didn't do you. Know. Do you think our society is in denial where we all know that certain people use drugs we know little lot of them actually kind of function -- You don't do it it's quote unquote safely they don't -- they don't expose children to a whatever we know that a certain number of people do it up -- we have kind of the wink wink nudge nudge where -- pretend that we think it's really really really terrible even though we secretly know people who managed to do it in and -- decent lives right."

" Absolutely. -- and the fact that somebody."

" The people watching it in -- stop but first guy who could anybody without their basement closet. And that's this year all guiding you bunch of people -- I do it around you everywhere. Still to -- the basic."

" Right you see even people who flaunting it because I don't want now."

" It's not going to be at the package store. Like a --"

" Like right now the money's going into droplets -- people trying to kill off. And -- All the taxes with the -- domestic animal."

" Narrated thanks very much for calling in he presents the free market civil libertarian. Argument in favor of taxation. And marijuana use and nine other a lot of you out there who just think you know what it's illegal it's bad it alters your mind -- makes you crazy makes a dumb we don't know but the long term health implications and it's dangerous and it's a gateway drug I don't want -- is doing its -- your commute to the number to call is 877 Howie -- that's 4694322. Timmy you're on the air right now."

" How are ya hmmm yeah I -- I think it should be legalized I think there's a little bit of hysteria. In not the real sense about drug merger with alcohol and the ID eight. How are living today there's a couple of points in terms of the overall benefits when you look at the overall crime rates in the country and how -- I think X 70% is attributed. Do drugs are we just -- and armored brigade which killed over marijuana. -- You know the earlier caller. That mentioned something about they don't know what's been well that was regulating grown in controlled. People generally know what they're getting."

" Armed you know Tim every. There'd probably be a surgeon general's warning on the packet right."

" I would which is great I just don't know what I think it's like if you legalize it people aren't gonna jump. Eight and can jump in the streets and ordered dozens of cigarettes and and and small -- I mean like I think it's a little ridiculous we've been fighting the drug war and there's a second point. For forty plus years and there's another point while this will never be controlled there's just so much money. That's being garnished from a good side in that people are sitting there thinking that. The people fighting this quote drug war. Are not benefiting in a big way I -- actually become the -- do great give a reason the drug Gore's continuing. It's because. They could control it but there's so much money so there's an aspect of regulating this stuff that would bring it all linked to check. Which wouldn't make itself financially rewarding -- So the people that chipping it in growing it and also the people letter quote fighting the drug war in early this many aspects --"

" Tim the very incisive comments and your partner. Thank you for calling in will have much more honest I'm Jodi Applegate in for Howie -- and the number to call is 8774694322. I'd love to hear from yet. Jodi Applegate on how -- car show. Total Todd Mike. --"

I'm so pleased to be here Jodi Applegate used to work on -- fox station here in Boston in the mornings at nine Burke for NBC indifferent play."

" So anyway. Sitting in today and it's why my favorite topics drug decriminalization -- strong intellectual arguments on all sides of the issue and clearly Massachusetts has been wrestling with this marijuana is still classified like heroin -- the schedule one controlled substance by the US government. But here in the bay state there's just -- hundred dollar civil fine and forfeiture. -- said marijuana if you're arrested and yet know these history paying the spine and there's no penalty for not and a fine subtle. In Boston more than 80% of the 400 in fifteen citations handed out. Through July ninth this -- to herald article from the other day. Have not been paid in Brooklyn 70% of the tickets have gone unpaid in Braintree 52% of the tickets were ignored so for some reason people in Braintree tend to pay these tickets more I don't know what if that makes them smarter or -- but there's a fascinating -- with his 23 year old kid who was arrested. He's he paid defined and now he says quote I do you actually feel like a dope he feels like a moron for paying soccer I guess. Let's find out what you think the number to -- to -- on the -- 877469432. To -- 617779. 3469. Donna you are on the air what do you think Donna."

" The -- topic got me -- fully livid I'm 39 years old and the last twenty some odd years I was all weekend it. But I've got -- cancer now and sometimes the pain is excruciating. And the back -- papers spread out kind of narcotics they -- is that they cracked the code owns all the stuff but when you have. When you have cancer pain it from time to -- harmful fats you don't have time -- sit and wait for. They have been legal stuff that doesn't hurt you know the -- is doing stuff that worked quickly enough. Where I guess that's not relief where -- actually make the difference and it does make me after pulling -- for these other people. Just sit there and they know it should be illegal according to tell me it should be illegal to relieve my pain it's."

" Do you get it from a doctor with a prescription or do you just."

" I have to go underground because it you know the doctor -- I told my smoke it. And how he's that was he's happy I'm not naming names these cities happy I found it he -- a private everybody's glad I found it because that work."

" So has this changed your thinking about recreational leagues --"

" Marijuana that I can I mean I don't didn't you get stoned every night I only smoke it when I immediately when the -- appears there or -- I'm not just I mean they're both I can begin to -- think it does for -- And we have got a whole cabinet full of narcotics market the prescription drug that they don't do anything mean I don't really you both this stuff the doctors give me because it doesn't work fast enough."

" And even though you're using it to relieve what's -- considerable pain and I'm happy for you personally that you are finding some relief because it sounds like you've been through the mill. For people who are truly healthy energy is using it to get high eight you now find that acceptable."

" If they're doing in the privacy of their own a home you know who cares if that I mean I -- Oh no I try to put up as -- as possible but if I have can't be happy that the doctor right away. But I don't do it from my kids I treat it like any other and are crackers you know Ellicott Colorado quote driving. But it's somewhat of smoke in your house you know at their own damn business. I don't think government should step in and say is there really should be fine for that. And not condone any of her for kids they think maybe there should be a legal smoking age lakers for drinking you know when -- I think a little bit better. And be a little more responsible."

" So if it were legal and we -- and promoted and taxed and regulated kind of like cigarettes or alcohol is that how you think she society should deal with marijuana."

" Probably meaning that there aren't active death anyway in -- checked everything out. So probably at this helped put the revenue or whatever and me but forgot they but the women -- taxes."

" Is it taxes are going up in fact -- to -- done -- well I wish you the best I hope you find. I hope you find peace and I hope you feel healthy in good in May be in the future you'll use it only if you choose to for recreational purposes. Thank you very much -- called on the number is 877 Howie Carr sat here on the air hide their Seth."

" I've just set from the cape."

" Hey -- from -- that was cut out of you're listening to -- while you were on hold but that was a very moving story she told about how -- released her cancer pain in pretty."

" Whatever works I feel for her you know. Who needs narcotics is gonna show it mutilate even more you know -- could be addicted -- and everything."

" So you don't --"

" Well I'm actually broke I used to grow about fifteen years ago in the case but it can't do it anymore. Does it checks from the helicopter -- guy. I wanna know how much that helicopter -- to patrol the guys around can't cut and -- let plants and everybody's backyard. How much is that the tax write up on that. Much fielder they use them I mean I don't understand why they do it. Just sort I have pot plants from which they don't grab up and away the roof -- everything and it's it's a million dollars -- the lead there but no one's gonna put that much."

" Did you ever get arrested --"

" No no I never got caught I'd just never that is too afraid to do because they're flying all around."

" So law drug laws do work in that sense I guess at least be scary -- of the world."

" Yeah but I'm how much to -- them on. On the people live there you from the helicopter and how much I guess sees it every day it's just that doesn't make sense."

" Right and the pollution from the animation fuel."

" He should be able to grow bureau just like in Alaska."

" So what do you think about this deal of taxing the heck out of it now way society could regulated maybe you could view it as a sort of -- An evil that can't really be stamped out -- time immemorial people always wanna get higher -- something and if you could control it as well as possible taxing it then that would be if nothing else a brand new revenue stream considering the state government is -- like every other state in this country city you'd agree with the taxation."

" I'm afraid what the government will do it. The quality will probably go down and who knows what editors are gonna put on the legislature cigarettes you know."

" That's interesting take you have -- he's viewing it from the con consumer's standpoint he's worried."

" I wouldn't know low impact and so when -- fellow candidate craft of the government control we have had read a quote myself but I know the quality is right. The -- Bill -- gonna."

" Right like in government run restaurant versus a restaurant run by an entrepreneurial chef."
