    Top Five Special Interest Groups Lobbying To Keep Marijuana Illegal

    http://www.republicreport.org/2012/m...illegal/?print

    1.) Police Unions
    2.) Private Prisons Corporations
    3.) Alcohol and Beer Companies
    4.) Pharmaceutical Corporations
    5.) Prison Guard Unions

    Last year, over 850,000 people in America were arrested for marijuana-related crimes. Despite public opinion, the medical community, and human rights experts all moving in favor of relaxing marijuana prohibition laws, little has changed in terms of policy.

    There have been many great books and articles detailing the history of the drug war. Part of America?s fixation with keeping the leafy green plant illegal is rooted in cultural and political clashes from the past.

      Pigs suck!

      Just this week there was a FEDERAL RAID on a medical marijuana dispensary a few blocks from where I live called The Farm on Santa Monica in West Hollywood. I watched as the dickless pigs had the employees sitting around in handcuffs as they walked around with M-16s drawn!

      Our tax dollars at work! Fuck them!

        My state has a measure on the ballot to legalize it like Colorado and Washington. The polls show it is ahead, but you never know. Parts of this state are super liberal, but there are also parts that are very conservatives. I have a feeling it will pass so long as there is a decent voter turnout.

          Sadly, most educated people KNOW that cannabis and hemp could eventually save some of the economy, offer well being to medical and psychiatric conditions, offer a safer alternative to alcohol (I am a mother of teenage girls, I would MUCH rather if my kids are going to experiment that they toke up instead of guzzle down), it is also a much GREENER manufacturing decision for MANY products because the male plant (hemp) has so many uses, and consumes a fraction of our natural resources to produce things like paper (save a tree!), rope, etc. Raw cannabis and the seeds are also one of the most nutritious plants on earth. It could assist in our hunger crisis...the list goes on and on...

          Just because the government tells you something is wrong, does not mean that it is wrong. The above article does accurately describe the true hidden agenda's of the multi-billion dollar mega corps (that includes Capitol Hill). For them, it would be such a debilitating loss of cash. I wish someone would step up and do the right thing, but I worry that there is too much money involved. It is a monopoly of the super rich...and they plan to remain super rich. I hope the power of the people overturns all the greed, and the independent thinkers of the world prevail one day.

          Happy 420, everyone. Over and Out.

              your argument had a chance until you started mentioning rope creation and health benefits of cannabis seeds... it's that idiotic rhetoric that keeps things illegal. stick with stuff that is actually fact and stuff that matters (rope doesn't) and you have a better case for it.

                Marijuana is illegal because people talk about making rope from hemp?

                  Rope seems to be a gateway product, once you have tried hemp rope you are constantly seeking other product for a higher and higher ROI. This could lead you down the dark road of capitalism. And we all know the dangers of capitalism...

                        I don't smoke pot myself, but I don't see the harm in it. It's no different than booze.

                        If you look over the decades you see a number of things that seemed to be huge issues that eventually society finally said "Why are we fighting this?". Gay marriage is a good example - this was a huge issue but at this point it's legal nearly everywhere.

                        Society is growing up and saying "This shouldn't be something we should be concerned about". Prostitution will be on that list too someday.

                          It is OBVIOUS you do smoke pot yourself OR you would never make such an IGNORANT statement like "It's no different than booze."

                          Sorry...but one is a central nervous system sedative chemical and the other is a mind expanding chemical with many other medical benefits.

                          Sure alcohol has medical benefits because it is a highly toxic poison and therefore good for killing germs to prevent illness (on the outside of the body at least). Inside it just destroys cells and if enough is consumed will lead to death.

                          Of course, countless individuals also die in preventable automobile accidents when driving drunk.

                              My best friend growing up became an alcoholic. He only smoked pot a handful of times in his life.

                              About a year ago, after pot became legal, he decided to use it as a gateway to stop drinking as the effects on his body of being an alcoholic were starting to be to much for him. He smoked pot every night for two weeks, then stopped. He hasn't had a drink since and still doesn't smoke pot.

                              There's so much money to lose for so many special interest groups with pot being legal. Fuck them

                                  It is not about that pot should be legal or not. It is about why anybody forbid anyone to do what he/she like to do? I'm grown up. I should smoke pot, watch porn, drink alcohol, puke and do it one more time if I want to. So why anybody forbid me to do that? Illuminati, Masonery, NWO, society engineering - if you read enough about that and think a little bit you will know why pot is illegal and why we are under old Roman (Latin) law. Alltime struggling with people is one of the methods.

                                    If you read the history of how it became illegal, you will have even less confidence in the government, it was all political!
                                    Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                    think about that
