Anyone care to explain why Marijuana is STILL illegal?

I'm all eyes for any legitimate argument whatsoever.

I'm honestly starting to believe it's some kind of conspiracy.

Maybe because its a drug? You think that if Alcohol and Tobacco were still illegal they'd legalize them today?

So the federal government can destabilize the **** out of Mexico, and then have a pretext for establishing a military presence there and perhaps eventually taking over the rest of Mexico.

Okay, maybe that's not the idea, but I don't consider it an entirely far-fetched scenario anyway.

Because the government hasn't made it un-illegal yet.

Yeah, they do when they cause danger to other people.

Because big business, tobacco and alcohol, don't want it legalized (more competition). Agent-Zero

[QUOTE="Franklinstein"] Ok, so what if it's a drug, so is advil, and tylenol, and aspirin, it doesn't matter, the government has no right to deny people freedoms, as long as they don't impose on other people's freedoms.Franklinstein

Yeah, they do when they cause danger to other people.

In the same way that Alcohol is dangerous. I never said it was fair, I'm just telling you why. The government already has attempted to illegalize, and tax alcohol out of existence, so we know that it wouldn't be legal if possible.

I wouldn't protest legalizing it for free use in one's private home so long as there is no children in the household, and so long as one cannot smoke it, grow it, ect. in public places. Make a lot of restrictions, and I'm there for your right to screw with your body.Stevo_the_gamer

Its true, though smoking ciggeretes actually causes more cell damage.

It should be legal. Just think of all the uses we could have for hemp. We could really use the tax money too.

[QUOTE="Franklinstein"] How is marijuana dangerous? Especially compared to LEGAL substances such as alcohol?Franklinstein

Yeah it is. Impaired driving (though not as bad) and general stupidity.

Marijuana doesn't have the same tar as cigarettes do. Marijuana has never been proven to lead to lung cancer. But there have been studies where prolonged extensive use raised chances of testicular cancer. Not likely though.sexy-hippo

[QUOTE="Franklinstein"] I mean, tell me how it's dangerous, it's not dangerous in the same way that alcohol is. Franklinstein

Yeah it is. Impaired driving (though not as bad) and general stupidity.

Thats great, but either way your ability to think is impaired when you're high.

Anyway, I thought the point of this thread was to show why its illegal. Anybody can figure out why its illegal, what you wan't to know is why people dislike it.
