KSK Off-Topic: Wanna Save The Economy? LEGALIZE IT.
I was watching one of those boring as shit debates last night when one old bald tardbilly asked the candidates, “For us old people who have lost a lot of money, what are you going to do to help us get it back?” Now, neither douchebag on stage had the balls to tell this guy, “Sorry, old fogy. YOU BE FUCKED.” In fact, neither candidate had much of an idea about anything, apart from some tax cut and health care bullshit that our broke-ass government almost certainly can’t fucking afford.
People, we need a solution. We can’t just keep doing the same old crap. We gotta, like, innovate and shit. This economy’s going into the shitter because so much of it is based on speculation and piggybacking on top of other industries. We gotta start producing more real, actual, useful shit for people to buy. But new, thriving industries don’t just spring up overnight.
OR DO THEY?
People, we at KSK once again have devised a simple, radical solution to our nation’s ills, to help get our economy back into fighting shape. Three words: LEGALIZE IT, FUCKFACES. That’s right. It’s time to legalize pot. Weed. Mary Jane. The sticky icky. The Chronic. The kush. The green monster. The skunky unky. The splendid spliffer. Vick’s cash crop. Travis Henry’s Birf Control.
You know, that stuff.
Think about it. How much money do we fucking wipe our asses with trying to prosecute weed dealing, weed smoking, weed trafficking, weed growing, weed harvesting, and weed bikini stitching? I bet it’s like, billions. I would look up the exact figure, but I’m stoned right now.
And how big is the entire illegal marijuana industry? How much untaxed money is collectively made by dope dealers, and dope runners, and rectal dope smugglers? I bet it’s like, TRILLIONS. Again, I would look up the exact figure. But I’m stoned right now.
People, we are sitting on a fucking gold mine here. If we legalize weed, BOOM! You got yourself a whole burgeoning mini-economy. Rural farmers would start making money growing weed. Urban hash bars would start making money serving weed. EZ Wider stock would go through the fucking ROOF. American snack makers like Tastykake would see records profits. Mmmm… Tastykake. God, that sounds so fucking good right now.
Increased tax revenues would pay down our debts. And accounting firms would boom, because everyone would be too stoned to fill out a tax form properly.
TOURISM! Holy shit, think of the fucking tourism! Legal weed and a cheap dollar? People would fucking SWIM to get here and start toking. You’re telling me I can smoke weed legally without having to deal with all those creepy Dutch fuckers? WINNAR. Imagine if weed were legal in Miami. With all those hot bodies sweatin’ and bumpin’ and grindin’. MONEYGASM.
Sales of weed and weed supplies could help jump start the whole fucking system. Gigantic head shop/KFC/Philly Blunt outlets could bully Wal Mart out of existence. TAKE THAT, WALTON FAMILY!
Health care costs would plummet. People would need less prescription drugs, or would be too lazy to get them filled. Hypochondriacs would stop going to the doctor every five minutes and just chill the fuck out. Less people would have the energy to pursue costly litigation.
Furthermore, legalizing weed could lead to a massive national brainstorm of how we could solve all our other problems. “Hey man, what if we like, harnessed the power of the fucking DOLPHINS?” Indeed, why AREN’T we harnessing the power of the dolphins? We could do that! Goodbye, foreign energy dependence! We got all the power we need in Flipper right here.
Best of all, even if legalizing weed failed to bring the economy back, no one would care. Know why? BECAUSE WE’D ALL BE STONED. How fucking bad can it be if you’ve got cheap KB readily available to you day and night? Not bad at all, people. And anyone who says otherwise can go get fucked.
Now, legalizing weed is just one step in our KSK Sexy Master Plan For National Revitalization From Sin-Based Initiatives (KSKSMPFNRFSBI). Our platform also pushes for the national legalization of gambling in all forms (even death pools), and of prostitution. All prostitutes. Female prostitutes. Male prostitutes. Midget prostitutes. All legal. All taxable. All highly naughty. Know what the fastest growing town in America is? Vegas. Well, why not just make the whole country that way? What would suck about that? Nothing, that’s what.
These are tough times, people. It requires us to completely rethink how and why we do things. I’m talking real Freakonomic shit here. We’ve never herded Boston fans into sweatshops to make bedsheets for the world market. But shouldn’t we? I say yes.
It all starts with a weed-based economy, my friends. If you care about the economic health of this great nation, you will join me in saying for the world to hear:
TOKE, BABY, TOKE

I don’t smoke anymore but if it was legal I actually do think it would be a great thing for mankind. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go talk to my father and grandfather who both have glaucoma.

October 8th, 2008 at 11:45 am
To bring up another great benefit from this plan, we’d all be smoking only the best weed. Since it’s so easy to grow on your own, these legalized, taxed hash bars would have to be full of primo shit so that there’s more incentive to go there instead of down the street to the guy who grows it with a fucking heat lamp in his mom’s basement.
That guy also has a blog, by the way. Sorry, couldn’t resist.

I’m too stoned to really know what I’m talking about, but can’t we use other parts of the plant too. Like…paper, and oil, and really, really, really strong rope…oh yea, and more clothes. And, since it’s a weed, it grows faster and in more places than most other plants, so if we used weed paper instead of regular paper, we’ll also be helping to battle global warming. Yes, Weed seems to be the answer to everything. I will now smoke 2 joints.

Another great plus that could come from this is that Dave Chappelle and Jim Brewer’s careers will get resurrected. Not to mentioned the guy that got locked up in half baked, Harland Williams, does one hell of a dolphin impersonation in his stand up. 2012 can’t get here soon enough, can someone give me an address to go ahead and start donating millions of dollars towards this great political effort. We, the people, of the United States of America have a need, a need for WEED man, and some sour cream and onion chips with some dip, man, some beef jerky, some peanut butter. Get some Haagen-Dasz ice cream bars, a whole lot, make sure chocolate, gotta have chocolate, man. Some popcorn, red popcorn, graham crackers, graham crackers with marshmallows, the little marshmallows and little chocolate bars and we can make s’mores, man. Also, celery, grape jelly, Cap’n Crunch with the little Crunch berries, pizzas. We need two big pizzas, man, everything on ‘em, with water, whole lotta water, and Funyons!!!

October 8th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
I yearn for the day that the KSKSMPFNRFSBI comes to fruition. In America we already have the best weed, prostitutes and gambling opportunities, so let’s bring it out of the shadows and make it all legal (and taxable) across the country.
Imagine the advertising during NFL games. Stupid beer commercials would compete with stupid weed commercials (Bud Light vs Northern Lights?). The boner pill ads would include brothels. The local commercials would pitch neighborhood casinos. Some day…
October 8th, 2008 at 2:21 pm

Mostly true story: Several years ago, when North Carolina was debating a lottery, my poker playing buddies and I talked about starting up a Political Action Committee to make poker rooms legal, because that would have been far more awesome than a lottery. We were going to call it “Citizens For the Legalization Of Poker.”
CFLOP. Ha ha.
Then we saw how much paperwork was required to start a PAC. So we said fuck it and got stoned.

Wow, great googly moogly that’s a fucking ton of weed. It’s a good thing I don’t smoke anymore, cause I’d take a swan dive in that sticky icky. Fuckin ay we need to legalize it. Shit, that’s the best way to jumpstart this economy. And WalMart can get off its high horse and sell it too. It’s not like they need to sell all that huntin’ equipment. Fuck that shit and put the smiley face on the Chronic Department. That’s what I’m talking about.
