Marijuana is still illegal because the governement cannot control the growth, sales and distrobution of the product. Therefore they cannot tax it to get their cut which they believe they are entitled to.
It is that simple and has nothing to do with health issues, it is about Uncle Sam and all the other governments that say it is bad getting their cut or not getting their cut in this case.
fasterspider Reviewed by fasterspider on . marijuana illegal because its a gateway drug? does anyone think that one of the main reasons cannabis is illegal is because its users have a greater chance of using harder drugs like opiates or amphetemines etc. is it just me or does anyone else think that if cannabis was legalized or maybe even controled like tobacco or alcohol there would be a dramatic drop in abuse of narcotics? please discuss.
