[RutuliukaS2]

Im the first pothead that will attack you:
Alcohol is worse, it ruins your liver, and when you're drunk, you don't know what you do. It's addictive when you (ab)use it alot, weed isn't (only for the few weakminded morons here)! How many people have been killed by drunk driving, or drinking too much alcohol every year? I dunno, but it's alot. How many people die from weed? NONE.
Cigarettes are way more harmful. If you're gonna say: there are more chemicals, etc... in joints, think twice. Who on earth will smoke the same amount of weed, as they smoke in cigarettes a day? I see people puff 10-20 cigarettes a day, who in your neighboorhood smokes 10 joints? You got them 'hardcore' [/sarcasm] pothead, who smoke up to 5 a day, than yes, it is more harmful. But most people don't smoke pot every day, most people do smoke tabacco every day, day in day out, for years, untill they get lung cancer, and need to breath from an oxygen bottle.

Also, it seems you didn't read the parts of my original post concerning tobacco.

the reason its illegal is because its not taxable by the government....

Sorry for flaming, but douchebag, that's why I said there is nothing we can do about it. I'm not promoting the legalization of marijuana.

ok you are not promoting it, but you made it seem like we were when you said "just give up,there is no point in trying". what exactly are we "trying" to do? we all are discussing why it is illegal so i dont understand why you flame me for posting something off topic in my thread and calling me a douche for telling you it was off topic. also in the quoted post you said that "there is nothing we can do about it" how is this discussing *why* you think it was made illegal?

Wow you impressed me..the reason I thought it was illegal was because people get rich off of it so quick...

that is silly, they make a few hundred dollars a week/day (depending on how much they sell) i wouldn't consider that "rich"

and if they did illegalize it for that reason, then they would probably illegalize the powerball and the stock market

 

[letzgokill]

you have a very good point. Either situation, its best that marijuana remains permanently illegalized. If some idiot wants to take it, then they will take the risks. Its their fault they will get health problems and die. Like when ppl smoke, do crack , or drink- I dont mind if they die off, its called natural selection - get rid of all those dumb ppl who do drugs

 

[fear my names lord]

These Drug could cause racium etc
they should not be sold because if people smoke there will be more kills than ever
in the 1960s would be ok slow cars there by but if your were smoking it would cause other people harm even if your pregnate.i would like it to be ban all over the world

cheers

Fear Me

whats racium?

 

[mcnuggetman]

no your completely wrong its illegal because it can put other people at risk and it would ruin all pain/anxiety drug companys hurting our econemy....

 

[woah.no-ip.info]

The real reason marijuana is illegal is to help keep some mexicans out.

your probably right about it effecting the economy, but i dont really see any harm in it the worst it does is kills brain cells.

 

[EL17E]

It's considered a "soft" drug/substance around my community. Its use is actually quite common among our teen age group. It gives you a really bad headache I can tell you too... Which further deprives you of your motivation and concentration.

 

[theincrediblehaxx0r]

Can't we just roll weed up in the same paper that they roll tobacco? I mean it would look the same, but I don't know if cops or the dogs can differentiate weed smell from tobacco smell.

your probably right about it effecting the economy, but i dont really see any harm in it the worst it does is kills brain cells.

And you can kill brain cells by doing anything. Really, there is only harm if you smoke too much of it. And anything will harm you if you do too much of it.

 

[EL17E]

People can tell the difference.

 

[Tchu Got Owned]

Man, it's illegal cause black people smoke it!
RACIST GOVERNMENT!

 

[Varjot]

One of the reasons why it isn't legal is because they'd make NO money off of it whatsoever. The day the government made chronic legal, everyone would have their own grow-op. Therefor they wouldn't be able to compete with the general public. But the laws on maryjane are very lean up in Canada.

No. The reason marijuana is illegal is because it's harmful and turns ordinary people into complete morons.

Yes, there are drugs that are almost as bad (tobacco) which are still legal, but that doesn't mean they SHOULD be legal.

Now i'm going to get attacked by pot-heads who think they know everything, just watch

Smoking too much turns ordinary people into complete morons, just like too much of any substance does, abusing anything (not just substances) will damage you to some extent.

Now to thread creator, the reason it is illegal and will always be illegal is because it will always be too hard to turn it into a taxable item like cigarettes and alcohol. They know the benefits of it (mainly hemp cultivation) and the problems with it, your theory on drug dealers is so minimalistic and the last thing on political figures minds.

Marijuana is illegal for legitimate reasons, and that is because it is an illicit substance - end of story. Closed plz?

The average American is stupid enough already. We don't need them to get any worse, tbh.
