the only reason it was made illegal is because generally people who smoke it dont believe a word that is said to them through any media source. stoners arent brainwashable, for obvious reasons (theyre too high). media is there for one purpose, to brainwash. it just wouldnt be possible if we were all stoned. and it wasnt possible back in the days when it was still legal.....so, low and behold, they did the worst thing they ever could. and the rest of the world followed.
