Too many children repeating what Mom & Dad told them.
Yes, it's illegal because the government doesn't get their cut. Like prostitution.
Everyone goes on about cigarettes. They aren't illegal because the health system would colapse if everyone stopped smoking at once. |

In response to 'It's illegal because it's a drug and alters the brain.'
Um...alcohol is legal to adults.
Cigarettes are legal.
Caffeine is legal.
These are all drugs that alter the brain. What's up with that? |

Sophie WOW !!

That's part of it. It's easier to grow pot than make alcohol. |

Sweet heart you hit the nail on the head. How can you tax somthing that grows wild. That would be like taxing sunshine. |

No because it's bad for you and can cause people to die. |

Not only 'the man,' but also 'the woman' can't tax it! |

No, it's because he wants you as his slave. If you're whacked out on chronic, you don't do much work. Not good for a slave master.
He could tax it if he wanted. Clearly, someone who is profiting BIG-time is helping the politicians decide that legalisation is not a good thing. |

the goverment could totally tax it if they would sell it like cigarettes. the only problem is, is that most weed smokers grow it themselves. No way for goverment to tax it, so i would have to say that's part of it. |

It' illegal because there are not enough people who are willing or able to vote who want it legal.
And if you get busted for it they charge you with not affixing a tax stamp,,so much for the tax thing. |

no its illegal because it is a drug and it alters the brain |

Pretty much. If they just made it legal, they could tax the crap out of it. Cigs are so much worse for you, yet they sell them. Why not just treat weed like booze. Man, this government is screwed! |

There are ways to tax it. Medical funding depends on this illegal substance to help cancer patients and other medical issues. However, the US has yet to figure out how to control it.
What is it was legal, would half the people who use it, still use it? |

|

yes |

No. If it were legal, they could sell it in stores and tax it, so that doesn't make much sense, does it? |
