    I think it's an atrocity cannabis is illegal. There really is no good reason why it shouldn't be legal. Anyone with eyes should be able to see that. I can't even think of one reason why it's illegal.

    well not to offend but the government has never listened to us, weve been ranting about this subject for sometime but they havnt even considered it. i myself think that alcohol should be illegal if marijuanaa has to be because it is much more harmful, in the link below it has a chart with the intoxication rate of several drugs as well as deaths per year for all drugs.

    intoxication rates

    alcohol-6
    marijuana-3
    heroin-5
    cocaine-4

    About William Randolph Hearst and DuPont: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_cannabis_in_the_United_States

    about Nixon: http://cannabisnews.com/news/21/thread21025.shtml

    I recommend you read James H Mills book, 'Cannabis Britannica', if you want to know about prohib in the UK.

    It was outlawed in France during the Napoleonic wars, I believe, because Boneparte was sick of his sailors getting high smoking the ships' ropes.

    No I agree with you completely.

    When you smoke the leaves of a plant, there's far less going into your body than when you smoke cigarettes... what with the tobacco, additives, fillers, etc. etc.

    Why is marijuana such a big deal? I suppose one could argue it's illegal because it's mood-altering... but nicotine's addictive... and cigarettes have definite mood-altering attributes as well, so why are cigarettes available at every other store and marijuana's illegal? I don't understand.
