Why is weed illegal, its cause the government doesnt want to lose all the money that they get for drug busts and shit come on, they get like 5grand for a single bust.... thats why they dont want it legalized... cause the greedy mother fuckers

[Ikku]

The government spends $20 billion a year on the war on drugs. Money maker? Bullshit.

[shararm]

well read the paper today whilst at pub and read about a kid who killed an old woman due to smoking some seriously strong canabis which made him hear voices in his head to kill a black woman, this is actually the 2nd canabis related attack in like 2 weeks here, the other one being a lad killing 2 of his mates with a kitchen knife!

obviously this aint the sole reason its illegal, but you can see its not good for everybody, (doesnt help that both kids did have mild mental issues mind you!)

But still if canabis was legal there would be no paranoia, but on the same note the prices of the good stuff would just shoot up due to goverment tax. So im happy to keep it underground like we all should be. were making a statement to the world in effect. Stuff you keep it illegal but were still gonna smoke it and enjoy it! lol

Worst Post Ever.

The price wouldnt get hiked, it would stay about the same or even lower bcause of 1. higher competition between growers/sellers/shops and 2. There will be more weed on the market than there is now. When availablity goes up, prices go down. Basic.

And if you EVER, EVER believe that weed has been related to the cause of any crime (except smoking it of course), you are surely a dumbass. Learn who are your sources dude when you sift through such a controvercial issue.

[Ginners]

no i do not believe weed actually becomes the source of any crime i soley believe that the mental issues mixed with the drug caused the attacks, which shouldnt of happend!

However cannabis being legalised means the goverment will have its hand on the job and that includes tax as any item be it ciggarettes, alchol and so on, cannabis will be the same. So i say ok if we legalise weed the goverment benefits in making the world a worst place . . ok keep it illegal the goverment get nothing from me and il just go about my daily buisness.

To be honest it would kill half the fun if i could walk in a shop anywhere and just buy ready made spliff or something daft like that. Its nice to ring the dealer up meet, up have a chat if you know him have a spliff if your not to busy, then go about your day.

Of course im not wholy right on this issue and people know a lot more than i do, but thats how i see it

[Turnipweed13]

because you cant put a tax on it.

[WeedGuru_Flow]

because you cant put a tax on it.

and that dumb american that started this whole thing

Depending how fully they legalised they could make a profit easy, as they could just tax coffee shops, or off licences. Im sure thats got to be better than wasting millions a year like they are now.

My reason for it not being legalised YET is beacuse i believe no High position MP has stood up for what is right, because if they did legalise it they dont no exactly what would happen for shure. I mean look at the drugs table atm it sucks, since when has Magic Mushrooms been as harmful as Heroin?

Also i think propaganda is still working, for them why would they change it? the way they see it is rule out smoking in general for a healthier lifestyle.

Weed is illegal due to politics and taxes. That's it. Plain and simple.

[sickkid90]

I just thought about the simplest reason...

It's illegal because it might cause peace!

[Weedguru_Fire_Inside]

depends on where you are.

the legit reason behind the illegalities in the US is because when the mexicans all started crossing the border, they took their marijuana with them. when the immigration started to cause problems in the US, they illegalised marijuana as a way of getting alot of mexicans to go back to their homeland.

but think about how much cannabis goes un-busted. they'd make so much more than 5 bags every now and then if they slapped a tax on it and took a percentage on a regular basis.

and do you really think the government is bothered with 5 grand? come one man, they spend that 200,000fold just trying to stop people doing it,

[dylann]

firstly i think its because of what was deemed acceptible in the past. alcohol and tobacco where deemed ok to do in the past, but weed? nope its evil ahha.

so basically its illegal today, because it was illegal yesterday and nobody in the right position has been influenced enough to change it.

It would be harder to tax, yes. but doesnt mean they cant tax it. hell you wouldnt have to smoke it either. they could make vials of THC and make them similar to alcoholic drinks. just theyd be weed drinks hahaha. that would stop the bullshit about smoke in the lungs causing cancer. because there would be an ALTERNITIVE to smoking it.

i believe alcohol is good, but tobacco. VERY BAD. it is addictive. thats why they should ban it. alcohol is it, weed is not. of course, the mind can get addicted or dependant to anything. but hey, socity is already going throguh that now. ALCOHOLISM. but hey we are doing okayy. right?

and geezz. if weed was legal, people would still be dealing drugs, and still be shooting each other no matter what. peoples greed is what usually happens to cause this. and the government is the greedyest of them all.

They want taxes to fuel themselves. which is cool. taxes are nessiary in todays world. we need to build stuff. and go new directions. but im sure they could find a way to make money other than tobacco and alcohol.

the taxes also fuel war. which also makes money. they make up bullshit about bombs so they can go in there blow half a country to hell and make twice the money when they come out. leaving the country they invanded in peices, and they make it seem like they are 'helping' them get all there shit together. its what countrys like america do best. go in, kill a whole lot of people, steal the peoples oil or whatever, get it home sell it for wat its worth, make trillions of dollars. and then make themselves look like the good guys, because they are 'helping' the country.


sorry. im kinda ranting on here.

there is just so many reasons why weed should be legal. but greed gets the best of people.

3 words why it isnt legal.
MONEY, GREED, POWER.

theres plenty more stuff i could say but yeah everyones already said it. lol
