Originally pot was banned because blacks smoked it a lot and whites thought if blacks were high on pot they would rape white women.
Everyone that thinks legalized pot would be great are fooling themselves. First of all, growing your own would still be illegal. Can you make and sell your own cigs? No you have to buy them at a store. Yes you can roll your own cigs but you still have to buy the tobacco at a tobacco shop. Same thing with pot. Do you think the THC level in a manfactured joint will have the same level of THC as typical joint does not? Hell no. Do you think companies will stop, firing or not hiring, people that test posistive of pot?

Your partially right..
But, manafactured thc is much more potent than natural thc..
I'll tell you the real reason ( besides the paper&pulp aspects )
What sort of industry makes the most amount of money in the world ? PHARMACEUTICAL
In the early 1900's marijuana made up more than 50% of pharmacy drugs..
What sort of pharmacy drugs can you grow in your backyard ( legal or not ) ? Not many
If you could grow 50% of your drugs in your backyard, who would lose 50% of their money ??
I can't grow aspirin and i cant grow tylenol , but i can sure as hell grow weed and take it in a safer and more effective way than any available drug out there.
