Just because something is illegal doesn't make it wrong or bad, morally or otherwise, it just means someone doesn't want others to do it for some reason. And for whatever reason someone wanted to outlaw pot they should outlaw beer just as well if not more for being addictive and unhealthy. Save the liquer and burn the smokers eh? Too bad I can't grow whiskey and smoke it too, but that'd probably be outlawed as well. We are scared of things we can not control and currupt of the things we can, that's why this herb has been made illegal. It's a victim of a system run by crooked politicians. It's the pharm industry hooking innocent patients on expensive and powerful addictive pain chemicals that should be outlawed. They are the real drug pushers and making tons of cash from made up illnesses everyday.

I'm a private online business owner who's business provides income to over 100 contractors nationwide by serving tens of thousands customers worldwide. No, I'm not a dealer or a grower but I like to smoke herb, lots of it. Well, so much for the 'weed is for losers' theory. Actually, since quiting cigarettes over a year ago, I'm 30 lbs lighter and in the best shape of my life. I love the beach, swimming, camping and all the other sunny active outdoor activities, beats the couch. Smoking pot just makes everything more interesting and enjoyable. Beer turns me into an uncontrollable talkative angry slob while pot just makes me funny and friendly. I've known many people who's lives were destroyed by alchohol or tobacco, some even died, but I've NEVER heard of someone's life being destroyed by weed, of course you can't die from it either. Weed really is NO BIG DEAL! Marijuana is illegal because the govt can't control it, period. It has value as a product and it can be grown anywhere by anyon
