I am neutral on the subject I've never smoked it and don't plan on it. I was just wondering why is it illegal? Is the only reason because it's considered a gateway drug? I understand that it alters your state of mind and driving but so does alcohol. It also raises your risk of cancer toobut, so does tobacco.

After the failure of prohibition, all of the crazies felt they had failed, and wanted a mock victory to go "LOOK! WE DID STUFF WE WIN!"


So, they got marijuana outlawed.


Basically, weed was their bubblegum and bennigan's coupons.

actually there have been studies which say marijuana helps retard the spread of cancer. ask tokinGLX for a link to those

the only real reason pot is illegal is because its very easy to grow yourself, so it's pretty much impossible for the government to tax it with any effect

plus the only thing that makes it a "gateway drug" is that it is illegal in the first place

ive driven stoned basically every time ive gotten stoned, and it makes me drive PERFECT. it has never altered my perception in a way that would keep me from driving or performing any task really, IMO there is no reason that pot should be illegal. u cant OD on it u cant get poisoning from it like alcohol, in normal form the worst u can do is smoke yourself sick. u might throw up but u r still functioning. and ive only seen something like that happen once. worst case scenario, u get high, go to sleep and wake up drowzy.

I dunno, I have had some crazy ass weed that made it very difficult to drive back in the day. But i agree it should not be illegal, because I miss it and dream about it every now and then.

I've seen ALOT of people suck at driving when they're blown out. I know some people who are good however depending on if they smoked rags or dro. I think it is a gateway drug because eventually some people move onto stronger things such as shrooms, E, and coke. Happened to one of my buddies.Every druggy I know started of by just tokin it everynow and then.

just think of your classic "pothead" weed makes you dumb. we dont want a bunch of dumb hippies roaming our country so it is illegal and im sorry joo im gunna have to disagree but the tax idea i think is wrong because you can grow a lot of stuff yourself and the government still taxes it with ease. i/e crops
