Cannabis was criminalized across most of the world in the early parts of the 20th century, first as a response to a petition from Egypt and Turkey to the League of Nations resulted in the 1925 Geneva International Convention on Narcotics Control[2] and some years later by the drug policies of the United States federal administration, embodied in the US Federal Bureau of Narcotics, founded in 1930, and its successor, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, formed in 1973. Through these and other agencies, the US government has energetically lobbied both nationally and internationally first for the criminalization of cannabis and its use and then to oppose its legalization.

The stereotypical "stoner" is responsible. High school dropout without the ability to articulate is giving mary jane a bad image.

LOL...well let's see...right now you have a whole bunch of people that are banning smoking not only in public areas but in private business and soon your own home. Same knuckleheads are even saying how food can be prepared...well it's for your own good isn't it? ;-)
Then you have the dumba** that give it to their kids or others that even force it on others and are stupid enough to video tape it put on UTube.... their own worst enemies...
It isn't going to happen with current mind set.

Because it is a mind altering drug .... and if used recreationaly it can be addictive ... and lead to heavier drug use .... it is unsafe to drive when on pot just as with alcohol ...
Besides only some hapless fool needs drugs to feel good about themselves .... are you a hapless fool

Mostly because governments are sponsored by 'moral entrepreneurs' such as religious organisations who feel they have to push their values on the rest of us, no matter the cost.

Go smoke a blunt, although it's illegal, I bet you still have some, right?
