People don't know as much about it as they could. Even information about no link to lung cancer is all still fairly new. Most adults today have no knowledge of it outside the negative aspects that surrounded it through history. But its still illegal because the majority of the world wants it that way. Eventually, since marijuana is increasingly popular among teens these days, it will be more accepted by the time this generation rolls into office and makes some changes. But I often wonder how much taking away its illegal status would decrease its appeal. Its hard to tell whether use would soar or diminish.
