Why marijuana shouldnt be legalized

[shamrok16]

before everyone gets mad, just read why i think it shouldnt be legalized. If marijuana was completely legalized, then it would end up being mass produced by big corporations. And if that happened, then wouldnt it ruin the point of weed? i mean look at what happened with tobacco. a completely harmless drug being smoked and grown naturally by the native americans. then the big business comes and takes half the high away from the tobacco, and puts all sorts of addictive crap in it to keep people hooked on it. So wouldnt it make more sense to just make the punishment for having weed on you so small (like a 10$ fine or something like that) that the feds and the police won't even bother to try and catch people with weed. just a thought :rasta:

You're wrong, and paranoid, but that's ok.

If it were legalized, what would stop you from growing amazingly potent (and legal) bud at home?

ya, you got a point. and how i what i said paranoid? I got a aunt who just died of cancer at 49 from smoking cigarettes . i have a uncle whos being smoking weed all his life and is hitting 87 in a month. Just cause i say the word 'corporation' doesnt mean im talking about some conspiracy theory or some shit like that.

That is exactly one of the reasons why weed isn't going to be legal. Because how are they going to tax it!?? all they want to do is make as much money off of everything as they can, and that's impossible to do with reefer. As you all have clearly stated that you would grow it and that's exactly what they DONT want. They want to make money off of it and the only way they can is to make it illegal so they can put you on probation and fine you. Also what do you think they do with the major busts they make?? why, they re-sell it of course!!

I concur. You could just grow it yourself, and not buy those shitty joint cigarette things.

Ok, stop bringing up tax. When marijuana was legal it was taxed, it was a small tax that no one cared about, so stop bringing up tax.

heavymetal101 is exactly right they want money but with legal bud people could get seeds and grow their own, ya see it would suck legalized cause theres no rush in it, and if it was it would still be illegal to grow which would suck even more cause there would be more plant search teams.
