The Real Reason Marijuana Is Illegal

I'll tell you the reason pot is illegal----money. Alot of growers and traffickers pay legislators to make sure that the green stays illegal. The sad part is, it makes sense. With weed being illegal, they can justify selling 3.5 grams of the plant for 40 bucks. Can you imagine what would happen if weed was legal? You could go to a 7-11 and buy a pack of 20 marijuana cigarrettes for 5 dollars, just like buying a pack of Marlboro reds. Alot of the big shots who grow, smuggle and the like are solely in this business for the mony, and they want to make as much of it as possible. Keeping pot illegal increases their profits by at least 400 %.

Nice post, but wouldn't the government want these drug dealers off their streets? And why do cops raid peoples homes?

listen to me, i'm about to say alot of truth at once

the government, LOVES what it has... a war on drugs, that cannot be won. governments love for you to be high, and watch tv, or listen to music. the us government has been in a dumbing down process that started around the 70's. why do you think that our education system is in the dumps compared to our neighbors, canada... so we will get rilled up easy, and fall for inside jobs, like the start of every war... so we won't question why our civil liberties are stepped on everyday...

i mean hell... i can easily say that about 80% of anyone reasing this, isn't gonna do shit about the world they want, just live in the world that was made for them.

religions, mass entertainment, and propaganda, drugs, misinformation about drugs... it is a multiweaved attempt to control us... by whom??? the elite, the super rich.... mostly banking corporations (who run this country)

the depression was started on purpose by jp morgan, and the federal reserve... and every major war of this century was started or initiated by bankers... the federal reserve is a private institution, not controlled by our government, only regulated.



everything we think, has been designed. yup even the weed in our pipe... FACT (most current pot smokers, are rebels in nature...) keep us occupied, paranoid, and ostrasized

they don't care about hemps abilities, there is no profit in efficiancy, some times

That was the best movie I have ever seen. Anyone know of any other informative sites/movies?

I belive alot of what is being said here. There are many reasons why this magical plant became illegal and is still illegal. I also belive that one reason it is still illegal is because many people treat it like a drug. A prime example of this is when you ask somone about weed they have. You might ask what strain is this and they say "weed" or they say i dont care what it is as long as it gets me high. With so many people having no respect for the cannibis plant it is going to make it very hard to gain legal status.If we could educate the people that dont know about the true wonders of the plant it would be heading in the right direction. I know im also preachin to the preachers but i just thought i would say it anyway:jointsmile:

The war against drug creates jobs.
Jobs create tax dollars.
Police jobs, court jobs, jail jobs, counsellor jobs.... you get the point.

Bottom line.

And, without a measurable way to control the cultivation and distribution, the government has no way to tax the sale to generate tax revenue. Therefore they keep it illegal.

Marijuana and hemp became illegal right about the same time that DuPont Chemical began introducining synthetic rope. Hemp rope is superior to synthetic rope in many respects, so DuPont needed a marketing advantage. What better way than to simply outlaw the competition?

The war on drugs doesn't make the government money; it costs the taxpayers.

the higher officials are directly tied to profits made off of the intrest paid on every dollar that goes to taxes

I will agree with you that the entire system is corrupt. Hell, as far as I'm concerned there's a solid majority of the bastards in Washington that deserve to be hung.

What I'm contesting is the assertation that the government makes money off the war on drugs. Governments don't make money - they collect money by taxation. They then distribute this money, or at least what is left after paying for the massive government bureaucracy. The war on drugs not only allows for an expanded bureaucracy, it also makes the gubment more powerful and creates a huge market for otherwise unneeded supplies and services.

Hey just a bit of info to look up. I cant find the truth but maybe someone here can, but anyway i read somewhere a long time ago that most of the funding for the movie REEFER MADNESS came from dupont and dow the people makin all the money on that rope. Dupont also makes the number one striping agent for cotton its what they use to kill the plants and make all the leaves fall off. I knows this because it was my job to spray the plants. In other words if hemp made a come back lots of people would lose lots of money.
