It's a drug that influences the behavior short term and causes paranoia long term.
It is also a gateway drug that introduces people to more lethal drugs--like Meth, Coke and heroin.
It effectively destroys families and causes the decay of society.
Anything pot does, as far as a benefit can be done by more effective legal drugs.

Because it will just give the government one more thing to tax and they're greedy blastards as it is!

Because then I'd have to pay higher taxes to support the stoners who have few brain cells left and can't hold a job if they tried.

Why should be legalize something that is worse for your health and those around you than cigarettes? Smoking anything should be illegal.

Many people can not funtion properly on pot so no it should not be legal.

Nope, can't think of any reasons. Just think of the lovely new tax base it would create... (hmm, maybe it would help lower gas prices? naaaahhhh...)

Most Americans don't want it to be legal. Since this is a democratic republic, that carries a lot of weight.
Change everyone's mind, and you get legal dope.
