Still, scientists say it is non toxic, nobody ever died from it (compared to alcohol), and there are numerous good side effects it has on medical patients... Why is it still illegal? Why is it not controlled?

It's still illegal because the government hasn't come up with a plan where they can control its production and slap a tax on it. The moment they can figure that out, it will be legal!

marijuana used to be very accessible decades ago to the point you could just walk into a pharmacy and have it wrapped up with a side of speed, but after the organization of more government agencys for medicine and pharmacy regulations, the government realized they cant tax marijuana because its an herbal plant grown from the soil, anywun can farm it with the right conditions, so to answer your questions, its really not about the fact it makes u euphoric or that you become incredibly blazed to the point you become paranoid about the world, but the simple fact that the government can not tax it, and they dont want something in circulation that they cant make money off of.

cuz they can't mind-control you if you smoke dope.
you won't grow up to be good little consumers of the fast food/ petroleum products / political corruption / military industrial complex if you smoke the whacky weed.
you'll just sit around growing enough food for you and your loved ones and being happy.

I believe that it's because the government can't control it's flow therefore they are unable to tax it.

Whether it is harmful is debatable, even among the people in academia. I for one think it is harmful, and lead to the use of hardcore drugs.

Because it is bad for you, whether you want to believe it or not. (And I can see you don't!) Isn't the future health of your brain important to you? Look after yourself, you don't need dope. You can get good effects from meditation and it has only good side effects - no paranoia.
