knowledge people should know

In my opinion, weed isnt legal because the governnment would lose a ton of money. If weed were legal, there wouldn't be a need for asprin, pain killers etc. Hence, no drug companies (run by the government). A joint a day keeps the doctor away.

i'm almost positive that weed is illegal in us because the government couldn't effectively tax it, due to the high number of peopel who would grow it, instead of buying the governments product, plus what was mentioned, lots of peopel would turn to it for: insomnia, nasuea, headaches, migrianes, depression (yes it's an anti depressant or was atleast reconized as so like 4k years ago by the chinese) high anxiety among maaaaaaaany others. it would probably take over half the medication we take now, and instead of taking 10 diffrent pills for 10 diffrent symptoms we'd only have to use mary-jane for all of them.

Not only that but you have to think about the many other uses you can get of it besides ingesting it,like lets say hemp paper?Wich to my understanding is one of the reasons marijauna was outlawed in the first place,lumber companies would lose a large profit.Our goverment would rather chop down ancient forest and make its citizens pay high prices to keep themselves alive(even though we live in one of the top richest countries on the planet).What a world we live in.

I think its because the government wouldn't be able to control weed as easily as alcohol. It really doesn't make any sense, it annoys me.
Anyway, keep the push forward :)

i agree with this

20 bucks says the government invited the phrase "ignorance is bliss"

Just 2 things--(1) It is GOOD!!! (2) Seeds are meant to be planted. (think about this. If we all plant our seeds, even if we never go back to see them, it does a lot of nice things. It adds oxygen to the air. It is a beautiful plant. It may improve the quality of the local "ditch weed". You may make some stoner's day. You may drive the DEA and local cops nuts having them run around trying to get it all. It may even keep them so busy they won't even look for your indoor grow.)

I think he was right, the plant itself is called Cannabis sativa, while the different species of it are sativa and indica. I've never heard of a 3rd one

i know there's a third type, i remember hearing about it and thinking how strange it was that i never heard of it....but doesn't make sense why the plant it's self would be called 'sativa' then it comes in diffrent species one of which being know as 'sativa'

I don't question it, i just smoke it.
