alot of people act like marijuana is illegal because the government cares about your health
if they cared about your health they wouldnt allow cigarettes and alcohol to be sold to you but they do
so why do people stand behind such stupidity
knowing that its only illegal so the government can make a bigger profit
Answer:
It doesn't make sense to a lot of people for the reasons you just gave.
The practical reasons are that the cigarette lobby is huge, and that cigarette taxes are a huge source of revenue for states. Plus cigarette smoking doesn't carry the same stigma as marijuana smoking, and the potential social and economic cost of outlawing cigarettes and having all cigarette smokers suddenly become criminals would be prohibitive.
People will say "Well i dont want my pilot, doctor, or taxi driver to smoke weed before the job"
Well you need to have more faith in people to take care in their job.
They are just afraid from Reefer Madness.
Pot isn't good for you, but it is much better than cigarettes
I don't know, I never heard of anyone dying from smoking weed!!
because marijuana is a gateway drug after pot comes coke or something even worse.
It is our government that permits the cigarettes, as well as alcohol. Back in the day, drugs were legal, whiskey wasn't. But it our government which prefers the two listed above all other substances. It is their drug of chose and that is why it is legal, even though the cigarettes kill and the alcohol kills more Americans than any other substance used by man. They have to make money somehow, so marijuana is illegal.
Because cigarettes do not impair your ability to drive, operate machinery, eat, talk coherently, etc. like marijauna does.
Marijuana has been legalized for use for medicinal purposes, so the govt. cares a little bit about it.
But as far as the long term effects, certainly the lobbying power the cig companies has has played a part in that.
Our government dose not make a profit! That's why we have the national dept. Several companies do make big profits off marijuana being illegal. Cannabis can be used for fuel, medicine, food and clothing. Why would you treat pain or mental illness with a drug that may cause death when you could legally use a safe effective plant?
Monsanto is a major offender they are making big money off of corn used for fuel, but they are not paying for the damages done by agent orange. (This is turning into a rant.) I've researched this question for a long time. Do more than half the children in America need psychiatric medication? Should we eat food that are sprayed directly with roundup?
