    I'm writing my final paper for government class on why marijuana should be legalized and I need to interview somebody. I thought, who better to interview than GrassCity! I just need a couple answers to these questions, thanks everyone who answers!

    1: Why was marijuana originally made illegal?

    2: What do you think contributes to the anti-marijuana attitude of those who support the plants prohibition

    3: Who stands to lose the most by legalizing marijuana? Who stands to benefit the most?

    That's all I need. Thanks in advance guys!

    1. Hate, fear and greed! Hatred and fear of the Mexican immigrants, and loss of profits for the oil, paper and pharmaceutical, cotton and other industries!

    2. Ignorance! Once the medical facts about cannabis become known, the NEED for legalization becomes obvious! Alzheimer's is a good example. How many folk would be against cannabis is they knew it was almost 10 times more effective than the leading anti-Alzheimer's drug, Aricept? :eek: Show them this!

    “THC blocks an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase, which speeds the formation of amyloid plaque in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease.


    The Alzheimer's drugs Aricept and Cognex work by blocking acetylcholinesterase. When tested at double the concentration of THC, Aricept blocked plaque formation only 22% as well as THC, and Cognex blocked plaque formation only 7% as well as THC.”


    3. The oil, paper and pharmaceutical, cotton and other industries will take a big hit!

    ALL OF THE REST OF US WILL BENEFIT! :hello:

    Alzheimer's will become rarer. (read that WebMD article)

    Alcohol use and its related problems will lessen. Who wants a hang-over, weight gain and brain damage from alcohol when you can legally get cannabis which helps cure hang-overs or brain damage?
