government doesnt want it to be, and thats it.

[hedgy73]

Government should make it legal and tax it like everything else. That way it can be controlled like in Amsterdam.

Cannabis is medicine

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 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 "

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.

[Nunu]

it should be, since most states want it to be. on a federal level i dont know, but theres much benefits then getting high.

some cancer patients need it for pain.. its also perfectly safe.. its not like meth.

[A Cry for Help]

Depends. Some places its is.

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."

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