tabaco corps. are lobbying heavily... no one would buy cigarettes, if people would harvest pot in their gardens.

If it were legal, "they" wouldn't make any money off the drug war.

Watch "Why Drug Dealers Love the War on Drugs - Marc Victor and Doug Casey on Justice " at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRdHGeNdxPA .

It's about a half hour. The whole thing is interesting, but it isn't until about halfway into the video that we are told "Why Drug Dealers Love the War on Drugs."

Opium poppies are also natural, do you think opium should be legalized?

yes.  it already is. attention everyone this is the NEW WORLD ORDER!!!!!
No, prescription pills containing opium are legal when you got a prescription from your doctor. Opium however is still illegal in the majority of countries.

u can buy codeine pills in russia.  i don't care.
Exactly, the wast majority of people wont buy it anyway. It will be the alcoholics and the pot smokers buying it.

And a legalization would remove spice which is killing people. Having people die around you is not fun.

I would like to share some experience....
 Last month I took a week off and went to Malana. A well known place around the world for producing quality weed in Himachal Pradesh India, It is a totally isolated village where people don't even like to talk to outsiders.. they feel like people from outside are trying to invade their lives and might corrupt them in one sense or other .. the village wasn't  discovered till late 20th century and still there is no road leading directly to village although the tracking route now is just 8-10km which was some 70 km just few years ago and few 100kms before that. They still have their own rules and regulation that one enters the village has to follow.
 People there are using marijuana from centuries , they use it for all types of things one can imagine. I saw few people wearing sandals made out of weed. You can call them whatever you want but they will never ever touch any outsider and won't let outsiders touch them. But one thing they will provide you is best quality Hash anytime anywhere no restrictions on that . While tracking you can see women rubbing the plants and collecting the resin and keeping the rubbed leave/plant in buckets tied to their back  .. People there are living there lives with all joy and happiness and one can sense the peace and positive energy  follows around the valley, you will forget about everything that's going in outside world once you'll be there, and that is why I can understand why people there are living happily and don't want to be a part of any society that will tell them " IT's ILLEGAL "

why would the government want to mess with the alcohol market that gets tons of money on huge taxes 

They would get more taxes if they would sell pot.

I think all drugs should be lagal for adults, even the hard ones. Why not? Some people are addicted to energy drinks or coffee and have the right to be, so addiction is not a problem here. What is then?

pot is high in medicinal value, and i think the pharmaceutical industry sees it as a threat (as an alternative to certain drugs that they use).

it's also a schedule 1 drug because the nixon administration wanted to take down the hippies.

I personally hope non-medicinal drugs(this includes pot while I know it has medicinal use) to remain banned and/or regulated.

You see, what will happen is. It's not legal, people fight the system, they make it legal, drugs used every day causing all sorts of accidents, bunch of drug addicts now start openly asking people to do drugs, later on forcing them.
Then you have a society that forces you to take drugs or you go to jail.

You should research Portugal'a drug policy.   In 2006, they decriminalized all drugs as they were faced with a heroin epidemic.  Since then , drug related deaths cut in half, use of hard drugs such as cocaine and heroine cut in half and drug use amongst minors notably cut in half.

All prohibition does is put billions of dollars into the hands of criminals, many of whom have little regard if their product is safe or being used by minors.

And even in a more basic right as a human being,  you should have control over what goes on your body and no one else.  It is your life, your body and your mind.  And today it is legal and acceptable for doctors to force drugs with an extremely acute neurotoxicity into non violent patients, against their will.  Antipsychotics literally fry receptors and shrink your brain,  they are worse for you than heroin.

Because potheads are some of the dumbest people I've ever met?

but what about LSD?  it's even worse!!!

Oh yeah, watch out for that LSD!  It's less toxic than vitamin c!

It's was used by scientists whom discovered the double helix structure of DNA during their trip!  Scary!

And of course never touch a marijuana.  Marijuana has never killed a single person.  It promotes brain cell growth and triggers apoptosis (cell death) in cancerous cells.

You don't want to use a safe and effective medicine, now do you?  How would we have a trillion dollar pharmaceutical industry if people could grow a cure their self?

And let's not forget hemp has the capacity to completely replace the oil industry by producing more biomass than any other plant.  And hemp leaves a negative carbon footprint when used as fuel, as hemp absorbs more co2 then it emits as a fuel.

Now we don't want clean air, now do we?

Remember people, alcohol is good.  It kills 150,000 people a year, that's almost a world record next to tobacco!  Yay records!

And it's legal, so it must be good for you.  The government would never legalize harmful substances to perpetuate population control and demonize helpful substances that take away the status quo's power.  They're your friend! Smiley

If pot was legal it will be a threat to the clothing farming and oil industries. Goverments are hand in hand with oil companies so pot will level really be legal.
I just want to point out that industrial hemp is in many places legal to grow. So that's not really a reason to why pot should be legalized.

I think your question is a far better one than "why should pot be legalized?".

I can buy a bottle of vodka so big that it would kill me to drink it. I can smoke cigarets that are known to cause deadly cancers. I am exposed everyday to chemicals that did not even exist 20 years ago. But I can't smoke pot. There is no logical reason to make pot illegal.  

or LSD.  or cocaine.  you could go on and on..

It does get tricky when you bring in hard drugs. What about bath salts or horse? I still come down on the side of legalization because its my body and I don't think anyone in the world is in a better position to decide than me. Who will decide what goes in your body, you or some bureaucrat?

The thing is that even if it's illegal people still find ways to get it. If there is a demand there will be a supply and that goes for everything.

I say decriminalize everything, hunting down junkies who are stuck in a bad circle doesn't help anyone.

I think your question is a far better one than "why should pot be legalized?".

I can buy a bottle of vodka so big that it would kill me to drink it. I can smoke cigarets that are known to cause deadly cancers. I am exposed everyday to chemicals that did not even exist 20 years ago. But I can't smoke pot. There is no logical reason to make pot illegal.  

or LSD.  or cocaine.  you could go on and on..
