Several Factors. Big Business (Oil industry etc.) Slander Campaign (reefer madness etc.) Misconceptions and Misinformation caused by slander(marijuana kills braincells etc.) People are still slandering marijuana and there are still many people who do not know the truth about it. For example when my name was in the paper for being busted my mother found out and gave me a lecture about all the dangerous chemicals that is put in weed by the growers and how bad it is. But my father the grower gave the the truth before hand lol. anyways back to my little rant. Big business like lumber, oil, textiles will never ever allow the legalization of hemp without a fight and considering they pay billions to the senators they will get their way until the general public is taught the truth of marijuana and its many many many great uses.
The same reason you say it is illegal. The same reason marijuana will be legalized. When it is legal currency will be made for everyone.
because it cures cancer and is the most medicinal plant in the world. no one has ever died from it. all pharmaceuticals are patented 'recipes' to which only one person/company owns the rights to/can make. and they have thousands of side effects nevermind the death rates, these chemical cocktails are lethal. Yet, because only one person owns all the rights to the drug and only one person can make it, they get all 100% of the profit. cannabis can be grown by anyone anywhere and is free. no one 'owns it' no one can claim all of the money made from it. do you really think that one person, one company has the ability to own your health? in this world of infinate possibilitys must we be forever dependant on other people to live properly because we can't do it ourselves? no... we can do it all ourselves thats exactly what they don't want you to know paper, plastics, textiles, clothes can all be made more efficiently out of hemp an anual plant. without the need to drain our world of oil and cut down our forests... you can make a car that is stronger than steel out of hemp and run it on hemp.. biodagradeable plastics which would replace things like nylon and other man made plastics to which only one company owns the rights to making and receives 100% profit... and hemp is the same plant as cannabis. think about it.. open your eyes.
And simply put, the government will never allow something that people are willing to trade their money for unless they flat out control it. Same with all things, drugs or otherwise.
It's too much competition for the clothing tycoon. Weed makes you happy, happiness helps you with enlightenment. The government wouldn't want you enlightened... Would they?
Because of propaganda, the fact that it's very potent in small doses to a first time user, and a variety of other issues.
Alright class, now pay attention. This example is of a person who is under the influence of "Taught Thought" An unfortunate individual who succumbed to the disinformation campaigns of greedy laissez-faire/crony capitalist systems and bureaucracies. and/or
you know how they try to claim legalizing marijuana will increase crime? i think its just the opposite, i say it'll actually lower it. think about it, the only reason it does cause problems is cause it is illegal. if you dont need to import it from mexico cause you cant grow it here without the pigs torching your product, you dont have violonce spilling into the u.s. from the "war on drugs," not to mention it in turn goes down in mexico. that should rduce crime at least 10%, at least. not to mention the countless crimes involved in actually selling the stuff. that should count for a good 15%. so by legallizing marijuana you actually cut crime by a good 25%. not to mention the massive potential for tax revenue. why isnt this shit legal!!!
Alright class, now pay attention. This example is of a person who is completely unable to identify sarcasm on the internet, even when it's painfully obvious.
First, it was religion, mainly the Roman Christians. Then came propaganda, now it's Corporate America, and the drug companies. It's still all mainly ignorance though.
Why? Two Reasons...well three... 1- Military Industrial Complex 2- Prison Industrial Complex 3- Money, Power, and Control
yeah this guy cotton companies have funded the war on weed since they got big back in the day whenever that was think about it hemp can make paper it is good for soil erosion so it could give us better farmland also hemp clothes are much more durable than cotton so all in all lot's and lot's of companies would be losing out on business(just a little bit) if hemp was legal again but there are much more bonuses than downfalls to this people have simply let fear get the best of them that's the main reason it's illegal some douchebag back in the day saw that sum poor hippy was actually happy for once and having a good time with his harmless plant what do they do? BAN IT! just like the damn trollling trrolls on GC want to do me but it's all good i'll get banned now i signed the .GoV petition to legalize it and i think that was my main purpose for using GC in the first place obviously it's not to share my intellect and sense of humor(dark and twisted as it may be) WHATEvvZ
ignorance is a sin i think if i'm not mistaken by the ways of christianity even i see why most people don't like christians and their ways but there really are some good things about it just what the oG christians have done to this world is unforgivable
Medical marijuana is like any other medicine, if you over do/smoke it will harm your health. It also boils down to who grows it n the method use towards all the way till harvest. Like for example, what they use for pesticide, what kind of chemical/nutrient are use, all these factors is very important
