Marijuana been proved to help treat some diseases that are otherwise unbearable (Keep in mind I said "treat", not cure. By that I mean stuff like dealing with pain from arthritis and glaucoma patients and induce hunger for chemo therapy cancer patients who otherwise can't eat).

1 acre of hemp, a product of the marijuana plant, produces 4x as much oxygen and paper as 1 acre of timber. Keep in mind a Marijuana plant is on average 4-10 feet tall depending on strain, whereas a timber tree is, what 40-50+ feet?

Legalizing marijuana and regulating it's distribution like tobacco and alcohol would take a majority of funding away from gangs. Not to mention the fact that a store clerk asks for I.D., whereas a Crip/Blood could care less.

Fact: It's physically impossible to overdose or become addicted to marijuana. A mental addiction is possible, but if you smoke weed for a week and then suddenly stop, your body won't have withdrawals or side effects like you would by smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol or doing "hard" drugs (cocaine, heroin, meth, etc.) Over 200,000 people a year die from alcohol related deaths and 450,000 from tobacco related products or second-hand smoke.

Not moving on to the reason WHY marijuana illegal, for anyone who doesn't know. In the early 1900's, hemp was poised to replaced timber as a major source of raw material for paper due to the fact it's much more space efficient. William Randolph Hearst, the guy who started "The New Yorker", had money invested in the timber industry. Obviously, he didn't like this and ran a smear campaign against marijuana to make it illegal, and using his political connections and rather large wallet, he was successful. The movie "Reefer Madness" is a political propoganda film funded by him and his cause and shows what kind of stuff he was putting out to convince people marijuana was bad.

Here is the video, it is long but watch it and you'll be amazed by how stupid it is.

That is the real reason marijuana is illegal. For all of you that are still blind, look at this video stating some more facts.

Tell me now, why you think marijuana should be illegal.

Kill the ignorance people. Open your eyes.

Well F you get this in your head if weed is legalized the us will put so much tax on that shit it wouldnt even be funny. It will maybe double the price of weed and THAT

H*ll Yea Make It Legal!! Its all in the person who smokes not the smoke in the person. The Only Reason it is Not Legal Is Because They Can't Find a Good Way to Tax It Because There Is Already Established Sells of Refer and There Is No Way Someone Would Say "Yea Let Me Get A License So I can Sell This With Tax For Much Higher Price And Lose Customers" Because They Will Always Be A Bootleg Ready to make that Money And Will Sell It Lower Than He Will.

Why would the price go up? The reason the prices are the way they are is because it is illegal...if it's legal it would be more accessible and the price would go down because you wouldn't have to worry about going to jail for selling it.


And there's no doubt about it...Marijuana should and WILL be LEGAL!
