I say yes yes on both. Vegas has the bunny ranch it seems to be working out just fine. Colorado since legalized pot for general use has already made close to if not over by now 5 million in just tax revenue.

I say if there is a demand there should be a supply, now with saying that I think it would be in the governments best interest to legalize it and structure it to provide safe environments for not only the consumers but the obviously the workers as well.

I see a lot of time effort and tax dollars wasted fighting a drug that has never killed anyone. Meaning no one has ever overdosed on Marijuana

Out of curiosity both these questions are valid but why combine the two?

Searching for a pattern?

Hell yea it is 40 years late already for making it legal ..

I agree that pot should be legal. I am glad it did not make it on this last bill because it would not have allowed home cultivation. When we finally do get something passed that will be the end of it for a long time, it will likely not be changed in our lifetime. Anything that does not allow home cultivation will make it unaffordable for many who use it for medical reasons.


Robin, Passing one bill would open up things for more people to have it.


I have heard some people speculate that Obama will make an executive order just before he leaves office. If you watch some of his interviews on the subject you could see where one would make an argument for that. He has already ordered the stop of federal funding to pursue marijuana trafficking.

Robin, I believe that order just limits them from prosecuting minor possession cases. They are still going after the major suppliers and dealers.

As far as brothels I never really gave it much thought. I am too cheap to pay for something I can do with my hand. But whatever two consenting adults do is really between them and no one else. As George Carlin said, "Selling is legal. F**king is legal! Why isn't selling f**king legal?"

Robin, RIGHT ON.


The only regulation I could see needed would be to make sure the workers were truly working freely and of age. I mean if a brother wants to charge top dollar it is in their own best interest to have the workers tested and require protection. I can't imagine many people willing to save a few bucks to go to that place that doesn't test the "staff." Pun intended
ROBIN, I WOULD LIKE NO Regulations, but for the South I think we would need regulations on where they could be located-- outside of cities, taxation rules, medical check ups, condom use and price controls.

But isn't there a loop hole anyway. I mean I am not a lawyer but porn is legal in this state right? So open a "Be your own PornStar" shop. You have a crew of "actors" that a client can come in and choose who they want to be their "co-Star" and you shoot the whole thing on a digital camera. For a little Extra the client can buy the actual camera to insure full control off "production." I mean to hell with back Page or whatever it is. I am calling my business "Back Door Productions."

I vote yes, on both counts.

Well, yes, as that's the only way it will fly. The gubment needs their share wether it be from tax revenue, or fining the crap outta folks. Making it more lucrative for the government to get the it's from legalization, is what needs to happen.
The drug wars are too costly. And women should be protected from disease by having healthy hookers sellin their wares.

Also religions actually took into account the need, by sanctioning the temple prostitutes.

Well, Olderthandirt imported me from Minnesnowta!!

We are known to be progressive thinkers. I really wish the country would support Jesse Ventura for a go at POTUS. He was a great Governor of the libertarian persuasion, who ,if I am not mistaken, had to run republican . He's really a libertarian, IMO.

Yes, I understand that thinking, there's radicalization in nearly everything. It's why, much
like religion , I can't subscribe to the two party broke d___ system.

I can't be contained in organized religion either, I'm much more Universal in my spirituality too.
