I honestly am mystified by their misinformation campaign. Why do they make such ludicrous untrue claims concerning the health hazards of marijuana? What do they have to gain by its criminilization?

They do not get a share on the money, Which is also why Gambling is illigal.

All LEGAL casinos give like, 10% of tehre winnings to the Government.

Most correct. Marijuana is a very lucrative product, but it is also something that is resented by a majority of the public.
The governments won't risk endangering their imago and future by legalising weeds, despite the profits they can make out of it. So they ban it and formally note all activities concerning the cultivation and trading as crimes. 'If we can't earn money by it, nobody will'.

I dont get it either. If it were legal:

A) They wouldnt have to spend money fighting against it

B) They could tax it and make money off of it

You're lucky. My normal income is taxed for 33%, and the extra payment I get for over-hours or bonuses is taxed for 40%.

30k a year is the take home pay so without taxes that would be 37.5k a year.

And were would they draw the line? If weed is made legal, why not XTC, or heroine and cocaine? Hey, it makes money so so what if it destroys society?
The main function of governments is sustain a healthy and prosperous community, drugs do not contribute to that cause.
Sure there is corruption and hypocrisy, but there is more wisdom in the rejection of dope by the law than the desire to use it by the dumb junkies.

30k?

I make 40k on a student job...

I would say draw the line at pot.

If you think about it, pot is far less damaging to our society than alchohol.

I know, and if I would be honest I would say that alcohol should be made illegal as well. But hey, the law gave me the chance to taste it and sadly, I'm liking it to much.

Alcohol will never be banned, the government rakes to much in from it and it doesn't work, it just increases organised crime. Prohibition in the 20's.

Marijuana will never become legal, because there is no way the government could control it and it does have more health risks than smoking cigarettes.

i used to LOVE weed...not anymore..it used to make me feel really stupid or like everyone was staring at me

Dude, check it. It's mostly because Pierre DuPont and William Randolf Hearst felt it was a threat to the economy. They monopolized the timber industry and chemical production. Basically anything that could be made by wood and chemicals could be made with hemp, therefore they wanted it illegal. It wasn't really a smoking issue, but the smoking thing did help with their propaganda. Check out sites like this to learn more.

Weed is not illegal because of ''health risks''. It originaly became illegal because of greed - weed became a threat to cloth industry, it became threat to paper industry, since it was cheaper and better to make.

You can also make oil using marijuana

Damn greedy bastards ermm

Wow, never knew that.

The goverment would make a shit load of money off of pot if they taxed it and also produced it. I smoked medicinal maryjkane from the goverment and it was ****ing awesome
