For starters, alcohol and cigarettes play huge factors in the economy: so would weed. I'm just trying to ask why the world is so scared about weed. In my experience an overdose of alcohol is infinitely worse than an overdose of THC. Plus weed doesn't have nicotine or anything its not physically addictive like crack or cigarettes are.

And then of course, it has medicinal uses. What the hell is so wrong with weed?
Nothing's wrong with weed. However, if it were legal, it would hold a huge monopoly over the anti-depressants market, the fuel market (as hemp can be used to create an inexpensive vast amounts of feul), and various other markets (ie, paper industries). Obviously, marijuana is cheap, easy to grow, and can be grown in large amounts. If it were legal, someone would capitalize on it, and gas prices would not remain $2.50-$3.00 a gallon. Seeing as how Bush likes to make his money, especially from the Oil industry, I doubt it will become legalized with him in office. Soon though; I'm predicting in the next 10 years it'll be legalized. :thumbsup:
