An Idea Of why Marijauana Is Illegal

[ParadigmShifter]

If they made heroin legal the CIA wouldn't be able to get their kickbacks that keeps the smack flowing smoothly into the US.

If only the Taliban were back in power that reduced Afghan opium production by 90%.

I'm joking of course.

This is my predicted graph of stoner population types:
85% laid back,
5% perma-fried,
10% active

the problem with this is, what are these people like before/without weed?

Sure it can, can't it? If growing, manufacturing, and selling marijuana were all legal things to do, don't you think companies would start doing it? I bet you could buy Phillip Morris or Newport brand marijuana in stores. And then the state could tax the transactions.

Of course, plenty people will still choose to grow their own, but then again, some people grow their own vegetables in their gardens at home.

The tobacco companies already have brand names & such patented for the day it becomes legal. The only reason it is still illegal is the damn bible belt & stigma attached to it since the days of Reefer Madness.

Depends how much they use marijauna , if they have an addictive personality they will most likely burn themselves out( not as bad as ANYTHING man-made).

If they are responsible, they can lead a normal life.

I agree with your sentiment but disagree with the bolded part. Isn't alcohol natural? Or to take the other extreme, you think it is likely that they become addicted to refined sugar (which is man-made)?

Meaning, the idea that something is man-made or not has NOTHING to do with how dangerous it is.

Before I smoked weed? Well I was a quirky, nerdy, funny and energetic kinda dude. I enjoyed cracking jokes and making people laugh. I loved sports, especially tennis, soccer and frisbee.

I think I would be lying if I said that weed had absolutely no effect on me whatsoever...but I can say with a great degree of certainty that I'm pretty much the same guy. I can even play sports as good or better than I used to be able to. My lungs are as good as ever.

Dude we are personality twins, and clearly we developed in a similar way. Our relation to weed is identical. Even the same sports. Though unlike you, I am now much worse at soccer, tennis, and disc golf than I once was. A function of the cigs.

Alcohol was man-made. From Fermented hops, It requires a Technique to produce, while as marijauna can be plucked, then smoked.
