There's no way the government could regulate weed... well, with people growing their own and all that stuff. To me, it's a money issue. It's easy to regulate alcohol and tobacco... cause the normal, everyday person can't just grow/make that stuff themselves. But if you want the truth about how marijuana became illegal, check out pixel's link... that basically explains the story. But you're right, Chaos... when have you ever seen an angry stoner?
