Question by bullymommy25: Anyone know why legal drug dealing is okay, weed illegal?
For ONE example, CHANTIX is on the market now… a “stop smoking aid” (for legal cancer causing cigarettes). All over the nation, people are coming forward to state that CHANTIX has given them horrifying hallucinations and has led to suicide. These drugs have simply not been around, let alone studied long enough, to know what long term effects there are! Every day a new prescription drug comes out, listing side effects such as hermorrhaging, stroke, diarrhea, blod clots… They are making millions as well.
In the meantime, a natural grown substance that anyone can grow for about 50 cents, used successfully for a million years with no side effects, something that can ease depression, nausea, pain and much more is illegal. The DEA wastes millions to put out that marijuana is harmful when studies show it is neither harmful nor a “gateway” drug, that certain people are predispositioned to use hard drugs anyway, and millions are in prison for just smoking. This OKAY?
FDA also spends money to put out that herbal remedies are “not known to work and are possibly harmful” even things like chamomile tea… what the hell?
TANYA, WHO TOLD YOU THAT? MARIJUANA IS THE BUD PART OF A FEMALE PLANT! YOU PULL IT OUT OF THE GROUND AND DRY IT OUT, THEN SMOKE IT! ARE YOU THINKING OF CIGARETTES?
AS LONG AS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN AROUND… LIFE DIDN’T START 200 YEARS AGO!

Answer by xuserx2000
money.
There is no money to be made in legalizing marijuana….you can’t tax it, because if it were legal…everyone would just grow their own. Should it be legal…logically yes…will it ever be…most likely no…at least not federally.
