It's less addictive than booze or cigarettes and does less physical damage to the user. Every report the government has provided us with has been publicly proven to be false ( more fodder for the WMD file).
Do you think America will ever gain the mental maturity to legalize this harmless herb?

no, the fight against pot makes too much money for the Government.
paid boder patrol agents,
paid customs agents,
paid smugglers,
donations to support the fight
plus it gives a reason to have more cops which increases your chance of getting busted.
gives rising numbers of employees to the police force which will allow for extra funding from the state
not to metion,
if you get busted you'll pay up on fines which can range quite drastically,
and if you go to jail, the state and/or county get funded to accomidate you too.
As well as drug and counciling classes which you'll pay for too.
Since anyone Can grow it, it becomes a great threat to this system, not to mention it would be hard to tax.
since It could be grown in your home, there's no need to buy a "pack" thusly making it a poor market starting off.
So, what do you think makes the world go around: Pot or Money.
I Do wish they wouldn't ruin peoples lives with such harsh penalties for possession.

Yeah, cool man, like wow. Now what was the question? People tell me all the time that MJ doesn't have a mental affect on them, yet when I ask them why they smoke it, they ALL say that it is for the high, and the "good feelings" they get. In my mind, that is mind altering to some degree.
It is my feeling that America has the "mental maturity" by resisting attempts to change this law!

I think that it should be up to you if you want to smoke it I mean drinking is legal and look at how many people die each year because of people drinking and driving. I think that they could make alot of money if they made it legal just sell it by the pack i mean at how much cigarettes are.

As long as our leaders can make money off of it for themselves, no, it will not be legalized. I am not a pot smoker, however, I do believe that what a person does in the privacy of their own home, without harm to others, is their damn business! The government needs to mind their own!

Weed is to easy to grow, if it's legal the government couldn't collect taxes on it. Not if you can grow your own in your backyard. So it will never be legal.

It doesn't really matter what the govt does if you have a good, discreet dealer.

Problem is those who use it regularly tend to be less ambitious that those who don't.
