I'm with you... the united states government directly profits from illegal drug trade. Afghanistan produces something like 90% of the worlds heroin - probably just a coincidence though, right? Keeping drug lords rich since the early 1900's.

Marijuana is illegal because America (U.S.A) thought they couldn't make money on it.

Also Republicans do like to change science then say "praise God" and every idiot listens. Separation between church in state in America (U.S.A)? My Ass.

What they're failing to realise that other countries also make it illegal. it's ignorant to say that it's all based on the actions of Nixon when clearly that's false. I agree with them when they say it is wrong to discard science and change law just because of personal reasons, but the studies which proved it to be harmless were done in the 70s, and studies now in recent years have proved that wrong. Canibis/Marijuana isn't an addictive drug but it can cause severe mental problems to it's users.

@ms301231 Marijuana smoking can damage lung tissue, and lead to chronic bronchitis, leading to COPD. There are studies that show that regular, heavy users (measured in number of joints over a span of x years, based on one particular study) are more likely to show hyperinflation of lung lobes, consistent with chronic lung disease, such as asthma.

The figure of 80 per cent is an unfounded figure. Eighty per cent of what? Numbers can be misleading.

Prohibition is bad. Look at history.

That Nixon quote was fucking hilarious.

Well... PCP came out in something like the 1800s and it is the actual "reasoning" behind Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde... PCP - Crack - Coke - ALCOHOL all worse off than "pot" everything has long term effects and costs more... So you are paying more for something that is killing you! AND getting less out of it!

OK time for a real pothead to talk lol. At this moment I am currently high on weed. I smoked 2 bowls of some cali kush and here I am typing this. I'd like to see a drunk person be able to type at all and even be able to remember wtf he said the next day. Marijuana doesn't hurt you at all. It is a plant for the mind, body, and the soul. Honestly, member5738 is totally correct. Marijuana has been proven to be one of the most holistic healing medicines ever known to man.
