It's too easy for people to grow themselves, therefore the government can't tax it and make money off of it very easily.
So of course the only logical thing to do is to make it illegal. Ya, that's the ticket.

Because the long term effects of pot use haven't been thoroughly studied, the main way of taking it is smoking it and that is harmful, it makes some people lazy which lowers productivity, it doesn't smell good for some people, it slows down reaction times which can be dangerous, it induces a false sense of hunger which isn't good.Comment

It is illegal in the US because it was used a method of deporting Mexican workers during the depression in the 1930's. Richard Nixon forced the current US drug laws to make it a major offense federally. The US forced many other countries into making it illegal if they wanted handouts. All politics, all the time.Comment

Because the strength of our country is directly related to the productivity and work of the people. Pot (and I smoked plenty of it back in the day) makes you content being a loser who doesn't get shit done or care about getting shit done.ADULT BLOG WRITING SERVICES - Please don't hesitate to ask me for my references and sample of my work - Very affordable rates. 150 word posts $3 per post. 2 - 3 sentence post special, $1 per post.

I suppose it's political pragmatism - it isn't around eversince, it has a lot of consumers - but it's kind of tough to introduce and enroll a new drug for taxation, at the moment when at least "publically" we are "fighting" against those legal drugs that make bank on taxes (aka no advertising for booze or cigarettes..).
If Pot was around 500 years ago, it would probably be a very a lucrative thing from the tax point of view, as it would become publically tolerated and the amount of regular (aka addicted) smokers would be massive..
Now it would still be very tough to explain to all the conservative voters that their son watching a coffee machine will once become a great and valuable / very much taxable contribution to our society..Need hosting, cloud, CDN or solutions for your AI?

Cannabis use causes people to abuse alcohol less, and the powerful booze lobbyists do not want cannabis to be legalized for this reason.
less booze sales = less profit for the alcohol capitalists
money is logical, profit makes sense.
Right now people are lobbying for cannabis, and California is leading the way to opening the governments eyes on how to PROFIT from medical marijuana.
They don't care what it does to peoples bodies. As long as they can profit.Comment

People have been smoking pot since the begining of time and that says enough for me. Ive never known a single person to die from pot and the stats over decades prove that as well. In fact its proven to have health benefits as well. There is no long term studies of all the new NON NATURAL drugs flooding the market and killing our famalies as well all for HUGE profits. Your theory is idiotic and small minded. Educate yourself before spouting bullshit. I know multiple people that smoke more than occasionally and they have achieved more than you and all your freinds will for that matter.
Ciggerettes and alchohol make people smell far more disgusting than pot, as well as kill millions more than pot ever will, yet they are fine. It may make you hungry but thats a huge benefit for people with wasting diseases, and who really gives a fuck about that anyways.

lol yikes! You're an angry guy you should relax and smoke some weed yourself man! Yes I believe everything I posted, but at the same time I still smoke weed like a chimney, but you asked why it's not legal.
People have been doing LOTS of shit thats wrong for a long time, that means nothing dude.
There is studies done on any drug that passes through the FDA, and lots of drugs don't make it through. Yes things have side effects but just because they might have passed a drug that later on turned out bad it doesn't mean they have to pass through weed, the two things aren't really related.
The fact that you've never known anyone to die from pot is cool, but that means nothing either, no one has ever died from being shit on by me but that doesn't make it ok, or for that matter no one has died from washing their hair with piss, but you just don't do that. It's not 'ok' to do just because no one has died from it.
Caloric restriction (ie eating less) is the only 100% proven way to increase your life span, that means weed will cause you to live a shorter life because of that alone (if you eat alot when you're high).
Pretty sure I'm a 4th year chemical physics student at one of the top universities in Canada and if this were a real debate my word >> yours - but before you go crazy and launch into yarr yarr I'm just saying man, thats why it would be illegal, and yes its hypocritical but that isn't a reason to legalize it.Comment

Why are castor beans legal? They make ricen, one of the most toxic poisons..
Why is sativa legal most everywhere?
Why are guns legal?
Why is it illegal to talk on a phone on a plane?
Because, for whatever reason, it is. Whether you choose to smoke or not is your own reasoned risk/reward conclusion.Comment

I don't really have an answer to your question, but I do have one concern...
Don't you think there should be more (or stricter) regulations set on alcohol? Last I heard, drunk driving is getting out of hand...
I searched a little bit (probably not as thoroughly as I should have) for traffic fatalities involving drivers who were under the influence of Marijuana -- I didn't find anything.Originally posted by AlcoholAlert.com

Allow me to quote a classic:
Well, there is this crucial thing I noticed, now I am sure you have seen it too (see this thread for reference):
Why do so many of the decent, nicer and more cultivated new breed of people, people who love the most peaceful and harmless drug in the world, peple who live the superbly peaceful and harmless lifestyle...
People who don't drink, smoke cigarettes, drink coffee or eat junk food, people who are cultivated, cocoon and vegetate with the better drug, the drug they know everything about.
People who are always ready and willing to preach the marijuana evangelium.
Why do so many of them have so much hate for the outside world?
Why do so many of them turn from Dr. Cannabis to Mr. Hyde - the hating, annoying creature drowning in anger and desperation anytime someone touches the peacemaker?
...
For anyone who never tried to smoke the thing, please read through this thread to dig all the information you need and feel free to go ahead.
But, in the name of the sanity - keep it in moderation, there is no use of wasting you precious time and abilities in the "better" world, we need you right here - in the fucked up world.Need hosting, cloud, CDN or solutions for your AI?

People get lazy, lazy citiziens undermine the society. The system wants everyone to be worker ants.
Plus people react differently to it, some people just feel good, some people feel good with a slight paranoia, some people get REALLY paranoid,,, some people get addicted...
I dont understand the whole thing with pot... a couple shots of vodka is 11 times betterComment

You implied that pot being illegal causes less deaths by deterring people from using it. Which is completely false crapola. If that were you true, how come
"All Licit & Illicit Drug-Induced Deaths 16,9266" accounts for far more deaths than Marijuana? Are all illicit drugs not illegal? I thought so.No doubt one may quote history to support any cause, as the devil quotes scripture.

Surprised at some of the responses in this thread.
Know of 2 heavy long time users of pot, 1 being my brother. He has to have a smoke around 10-20 times a day just to remain sociable otherwise he gets violent, bad tempered, has massive mood changes etc. The other guy I know is pretty much the same. Its pretty easy to see why its illegal when you dont do it and see its effect on other heavy uses over a period of time. Literally a no brainer

Very true that I went through a stage of smoking heavily..a long time ago now..and when I couldent get any weed I used to loose my temper over the most stupidest things. It got to the stage where I was frightening the shit out of my misses and my three brothers noticed how quickly I would get irritable over the most mundane things. I am normally a very tolerant guy. Havent smoked weed now for around 10 years..lolSurprised at some of the responses in this thread.
