We don't have insane racism like how we used to. We'll never have newspapers saying to beware of negros growing stronger from weed.
So why can't it be legal now?
We probably have entirely different reasons to ban it.
So what are they?

Have you not seen the above the influence ads on tv? Have your heard the dangers of BC Bud? How it's soo much stronger and not that normal weed you smoked in the 70's? None of that rings a bell? What do you mean people
understand today? People are ignorant and are lied to about marijuana over and over... did you not think it was 'bad' before you did it the first time?

It is all based on money... that's why the DEA get millions a year to bust people and other 'programs' get to benifit. Just follow the money to see why it's still illegal... but to change that the sterotype of marijuana must change, because it hasn't...
