Why is marijuana illegal ?

Why Is Marijuana Illegal ? Its Never Harmed Anyone . Its Never Killed Anyone . Alcohol And Cigarettes Are Perfectly Legal . But Why Not Weed ?

Cause the governments acting fools...It'll become legal sooner or later...the soone the better!

Yes it is illegal I'm not positive why its illegal and it can harm people if they are very stupid with the stuff...my brother smoked wayyy tooo much before and was in the hospital for it. It can also lead to lung cancer.

That is what I'm saying . However, Medical Weed is legal . So why not just legalize everything . like you said it has never harmed anyone .!

A big reason is because its a gateway drug . Sometimes once peoplle experiment with it, they'll end up moving to something heavier for a better high. Personally I dont think it should be illegal. It causes less harm than alcohol...

government cant tax it and it does harm you cause it kills your brain cells which never grow back, and it makes you make bad decisions, and if everyone was walking around high, I dont think any work would get done lol

Marijuana is illegal, because if it was legal, people would use it, and I heard about this guy that used it illegally and died from DUI, and so it should be illegal, because otherwise people would die from DUI.

actually w a t 3 r,
marijuana has been proven to make brain cells live longer.

And as for the whole 'gateway drug' thing, so is underage drinking as so is smoking cigarettes. The whole thing is dumb, I think it'll be legal within the next 10 years, Mexico just made it legal to have up to 5 grams on you without penalty.

***marijuana has been proven to make brain cells live longer.***

Where and who proved it? Quote your sources.

it should be illegal forever... hope it does

Marijuana promotes brain cell growth as proved by and international team of researchers lead by Dr. Xia Zhang. You can find the article on healingwell.com or anywhere on google if you search 'marijuana promotes brain cell growth'.

Thank you,

you might be interested in reading the last part of this article...(the one you referred me too) It is not yet conclusive therefore that marijuana ONLY has health benefits

oh and read this one too...relates to the same article

Basically the experiment was performed on RATS, using synthetic marijuana and THEREFORE the evidence is not conclusive, claiming that it definitely promotes brain cell growth means that you didn't read those articles properly.

I quote, out of what the doctor said:

***this treatment is not the same as smoking marijuana. Whether smoking marijuana can produce the same effect, we just don't know.***

I don't care if it's made legal, just don't see the point in going through all the effort. I won't smoke it even if it was. Smoking, I don't care what anyone says, cannot be good for your lungs, not even smoking marijuana.

*Marijuana promotes brain cell growth*

Now that one I'll have wait a while on...They don't drive better, they generally don't do as well in school, and I never felt very smart when I was stoned. Couldn't even remember what I was talking about (and it seemed most of my cohorts had the same problem).

It's illegal because it's a drug...lots of drugs are illegal to buy on the street.

p

drug trafficking is how terrorists get their money

*** They don't drive better, they generally don't do as well in school, and I never felt very smart when I was stoned. ***

Occasional or moderate use can and does spur creativity. It can also spur stupidity too.

Either way it is far less harmful then alcohol and tabacco. It should be legal.

There are probably more important things then the legalization of Weed, going on in this world, but you just keep on pressing your state senators about your widdle pot issue and I am sure some day you will be able to smoke your widdle bong all day long! maybe you can smoke a joint while you drive, or how bout get stoned with toddlers running around the house, maybe they can get a little contact high - woohoo! I think you are going to smoke yourself right into the Whitehouse someday.

Stop with the hyperbole. At least I hope it is hyperbole. It is not a little pot issue. It is a huge cost issue. The amount of money this country spends on enforcement and punishment for drug posession is ludicrous. Especially when the drug they are prohibitting is much less harmful than some legal ones.

Marijuana is illegal because the timberers lobbyed to have it become illegal because hemp can be used to make paper and all the other things paper makes...therefore running them out of buisness. Marijuana seriously doesn't hurt anybody, inface alcohol kills more people then marijuana ever has...and you CAN'T OD on it...

Its all a big cover up Marijuana is a better a fabric then cotton but the big cotton companies dont want you to know that so they made it illegal, its actually not as bad as they say it is, besides alcohol and tobacco have caused way more injuries/deaths then marijuana ever will.
