The government has not figured out the proper tax structure for it yet.
Also pot can grow here in the USA so it can't be used as a tool to invade another country.
so it is useless to the government

first of all, no it is not completely banned in the usa, in some states it is, others its not. Mainly, what comes to mind with pot is its harmfulness as a drug, its affectiveness in altering the mind. People in addition have used it in excess, and for some reason some states find it more harmful than others.

The economic implications of keeping it illegal are great for those in the business of selling pot. It keeps the prices REALLY high. If it were legal, it would be a virtually worthless product because you can grow it anywhere if you keep it warm and give it lots of light.

Look up uncle john 's bathroom reader. It explains in great detail how Dupont and the hearst corporation conspired to create paranoia about marijuana,so that they could destroy the indian hemp industry.Dupont wanted to create a market for nylon rope and hearst wanted to exploit his forest leases in nova scotia to make paper.Hemp paper was about to come onstream as an inexpensive renewable resource at the same time as someone had developed a cheap and dirty method to make paper from softwood trees.

video games and pot are actually not purely the only issues that make human beings ignore household initiatives. seem around on the international around you; how a lot of human beings get into injuries because of the fact they used their cellular telephones on a similar time as utilising, neglecting their accountability to pay interest? television's reason human beings to ignore their relatives, themselves, and what they might desire to do. technologies itself, on a similar time as good, reasons us to ignore responsibilty, which contain washing the dogs, observing the youngster, or perhaps interacting with others. Neglection of accountability and jobs are brought about by using human beings who care too lots approximately one component, and not anybody neglects because of the fact of it. tens of millions of human beings own video games, yet very few "ignore" their responbilities (properly, for the main area) in existence and their targets or targets. tens of millions are glued to the TVs, shops, Beers all around them, yet they proceed, they stay, and existence is going on. Such dereliction of responsibilities which you have stated are extremely particularly small once you evaluate it to the tens of millions of others around who play. human beings will continually waste their lives one way or yet another (this suggests something, which contain slumbering, bathing room, and entertainment), even nevertheless that's significant that we no longer waste all of it doing small minded issues each and every of the time. And in case you banned WoW, you would be wanting alot of offended hacking nerds taking on the international.

Hemp can be used in a variety of consumer and industrial products. Many of those products currently use petroleum and its by-products instead. If we legalize the plant, farmers would grow it, hemp could reduce the need for oil. And that would be bad for oil company profits. In the US, anything that hurts oil company profits is by definition "bad".

Republicans would like to say, "Its a gateway drug". Which I guess in some small occasions that is probably true. But addictive substances such as alcohol and nicotine drugs are far worse and legal.
Its government hypocrisy and its best...

Because pot will make you "live in a van down by the river!"
It will suck the evil life force from your body and make you a wonderful person.

I don't agree with the gateway argument. how many people that do hard drugs have drank alcohol, i bet it is more than pot but it never gets linked this way
