Answer 1

The government can not control taxes on it. It can be homegrown just as moonshine use to be illegal in the old days but the gov't soon found a way to use that to there benefit and voila taxes appeared on it. The government can't keep an eye on all the farmers who grow a little for themselves so what else is there to do but consider it illegal....
Notice how cocaine and heroin still seems to slip through the cracks of society that's because the big brother looks the other way sometimes...

Answer 2

Spider webbing is the main effectual natrual fiber. Bio-gas could be made extra effectively out of a good number of different issues, and the scientific reward of marijuana have never been shown. speaking of which, wheat, corn, and bamboo are all much extra clever than hemp is. And btw, it is not legal in any state because of the fact the federal government has banned it. particular the state can say it incredibly is legal, however the Feds can close them down every time they choose to. it quite is the way this works.

Answer 3

For a few reasons:


1. Marijuana is deemed the "gateway" drug, or in other words, it's what people do before moving onto more serious drugs. If I hadn't started smoking marijuana, I probably wouldn't have experimented with other drugs either.

2. It slows the reflexes and although it is not physically addictive, it is psychologically addictive and sometimes brings about lack of drive/motivation.

3. Unlike alcohol, it's not known as a 'social cohesive' and instead makes people withdraw. The fact it's usually smoked doesn't help either--cigarettes are in enough trouble.

In my opinion, Marijuana is virtually a harmless drug if taken responsibly, and, in most caes, it is much better for you than alchohol. States are already approving medical uses for marijuana, and according to an article published by the New York Times, it said to be labeled soon as the "aspirin of the 21st century"

Answer 4

Because it can be home grown with high quality, if legalized, it would destroy the liquor industry, which is a huge contributor to political campaigns.

Answer 5
