Since marijuana is always a popular subject, here is a historical look at marijuana’s illegalization. Enjoy, pass it along, comment.
The Weed Controversy
Once the 1930s rolled around, and the prohibition of alcohol had failed tremendously, there was a feeling of defeat in most prohibitionists’ minds. One of the jaded prohibitionists, Harry J. Anslinger, quickly found himself at the forefront of yet another prohibition movement in the United States. During the latter years of alcohol prohibition, many Southwestern states were pushing for a law against marijuana as a means to persecute the Mexican immigrants who offered cheap labor during the Depression.
In response to the public’s outcry for action, the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN) was founded in 1930 as an agency of the United States Department of Treasury. Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew Mellon, felt his nephew-in-law, Harry J. Anslinger, was the perfect candidate for the job of FBN commissioner. While Anslinger was upset over the failure of the prohibition of alcohol, the cries for action against marijuana enabled Anslinger to focus his attention on a new scapegoat substance: Marijuana.
At the time of the FBN’s campaign against marijuana, there were no accurate scientific studies yet conducted in regards to the drug; in fact, marijuana was not properly studied until the 1950s, long after the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 was passed. Most of the evidence used to lead the Supreme Court in their decision to pass the Marihuana Tax Act was created and distributed by the FBN.
The evidence provided by the FBN has since then been proven to be extremely exaggerated and entirely bias driven. Anslinger was known to publish marijuana-related stories in American Magazine. One such story claimed that a boy axe-murdered his family as the result of smoking marijuana one time. What Anslinger neglected to mention was the fact that a year prior to the murder, the boy’s parents tried to have him institutionalized for mental insanity. Many other stories were not only used to demonize marijuana, but were vehicles of racist inculcation. A few of these accounts were of a Mexican woman who ingested cannabis leaves resulting in immediate insanity. Another warped tale involved two black men who held a 14 year old girl hostage and forced her to smoke marijuana; upon her release she was found to be suffering from syphilis. When asked to provide evidence for these stories Anslinger failed to do so, but insisted they had happened–they had not.
But why fabricate a slew of misinformation in order to make marijuana illegal? According to information provided by former FBN employees, the reason for the war against marijuana was the result of growing demand for hemp-the male and non-euphoria producing version of the cannabis plant. At the time, hemp was on its way to becoming the nation’s biggest cash crop due to its ability to produce a variety of exportable goods such as: rope, paper, clothing, food and even fuel. Since hemp can grow at a much faster rate and in larger quantities it was ideal for the production of paper, clothing, and rope. However, Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew Mellon, was a prime backer for the DuPont Petrochemical Company who had a lot to lose if hemp became the country’s number one cash crop. It is believed that Mellon’s company, Mellon Financial Corporation, who was associated with DuPont, pushed the FBN to pursue legislation against marijuana.
The propaganda campaign led by Anslinger and encouraged by Mellon and DuPont succeeded in 1937 when the Marihuana Tax Act was passed. While the act did not criminalize marijuana it made it extremely difficult and risky to deal with the substance. In 1951, Anslinger openly admitted to having no solid evidence to back up his claims that led to the Tax Act, but by then there was a push for different legislation. By 1970 the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act was passed. During this time marijuana–among many other psychoactive substances–were being studied for their potential uses and dangers. LSD was given out by the Federal government as a means to determine if it had any tactical usage. At the same time, the use of marijuana was at an all-time high, and some believe the reason for the 1970 Controlled Substances Act was a legal tactic meant to enable police officers to arrest many of the people involved in the Consciousness Movement of the 1960s and 70s.
While the motives of the CSA vary based on who you talk to, there is one bit of information that has been conclusively proven to be true. That of course is the fact that marijuana is not a dangerous substance–at least not as dangerous as American society has been led to believe. A large majority of unbiased studies from the 1950s to the present day have conclusively proven that marijuana is safer than most legal alternatives (i.e. alcohol, tobacco, prescription medications, etc.). Not only have the studies produced similar results, but they have managed to shatter many of the ill-conceived social beliefs about the drug.
One of the most fear-invoking and commonly held beliefs is that marijuana kills brain cells. Numerous studies have shown this to be entirely untrue. THC is actually a neuroprotectant, which coats the cerebral cortex slowing down the communication between different regions in the brain. This is why marijuana users often experience slow reaction time, paranoia, social anxiety, and temporary memory loss. One study that puts the murdered brain cell myth to bed is a six-month long study that was conducted using Rhesus monkeys. Every day for the six-month period, the monkeys were exposed to excessive amounts of marijuana smoke. The team observed that the monkey’s brains were unharmed and concluded that THC does not kill brain cells. In all of the studies done regarding the issue of brain damage and marijuana use there has not been a single incident where permanent brain damage was found to be the result of marijuana.
Another study conducted to determine personality changes as the result of marijuana use, was carried out by the Harvard School of Mental Health in countries where marijuana use is socially accepted: Denmark, Jamaica and the Netherlands. The tests were done using moderate to excessive users, and they found that none of the test subjects experienced personality changes over an extended period of marijuana use. They then brought the study to three US cities and found that 7-out of-10 participants showed signs of laziness and loss of motivation. The conclusion was made that the social conventions held about a drug are in turn transferred to a user in that society. Since the United States has a long history of dishonest education and misinformation when it comes to marijuana, and drugs in general, it is no surprise that such findings were made.
To deny any negative effects of marijuana would be as ignorant as most of the claims against it. However, the negative effects are minimal when compared to the neutral or positive effects. Studies have shown a decrease in cognitive growth when marijuana is used by people under the age of 18, which is to be expected, considering a child is still in the developmental stages during this time of their life. Another negative effect is respiratory problems as the result of inhaling smoke, which is common among all carcinogens.
Nevertheless, most of the commonly held social beliefs in regards to marijuana are often extreme exaggerations that are meant to scare people away from use. Ironically, the United States has reported more use among teens when compared to countries such as Denmark who have lax laws concerning the drug. In one study, 33% of American teens had reported using marijuana on a weekly basis while only 17% of Denmark teens exhibited similar use. But shouldn’t the illegality of the drug lower use? If we look at most instances of prohibition in America and around the world we can see that prohibition actually causes people to do whatever is prohibited, especially in regards to drugs. Maybe it has to do with an innate tendency, which causes people to do things they are told not to do. The story and idea of Original Sin is a perfect example of such a tendency.
So why is marijuana still illegal with all this scientific evidence proving marijuana is not the danger most believe it is? There are a variety of reasons as to why it remains illegal and unsurprisingly they are economic just like the original reason for its criminalization. The privatization of the prison industry has opened the doors for money to be made off of crime. Considering that a large portion of United States’ inmates are non-violent offenders, often arrested for drugs such as marijuana, it makes sense to try and keep it illegal. Not to mention the amount of money generated in fines and expenses as a result of drug charges is astronomical. A 1st offense for someone arrested for minor possession of marijuana will often result in 1 year probation, 6 months loss of license, court fees and fines ranging from $500-$1000. With probation comes drug testing and with drug testing comes lab fees. Don’t forget about the employees needed to operate all the drug-related agencies.
However, the influence of the Black Market, mainly drug cartels, plays a huge role in marijuana remaining illegal. It has been reported that drug cartels have grown substantially in size and often have warehouses stacked to the ceiling with money because it can’t be laundered fast enough. There have been numerous instances where our government has been caught selling weapons and technology to such groups. To make the suggestion that our government keeps marijuana and drugs illegal as a means to remain in good standing with drug cartels is not as crazy as it sounds. Drug cartels are just as powerful if not stronger than the governments in some countries. In some cases, cartels are the government.
The most disturbing thing about marijuana remaining illegal is the fact that not a single death has resulted from the usage of marijuana while many have been caused by the War on Drugs (1971-present). In fact, the only THC related death was during the testing of a synthetic THC pill, Marinol, in December 2003. Strangely enough that pill is being considered as an alternative to medical marijuana, which has been well-received in states such as California, Alaska, and Colorado. The consideration of legalizing a prescription THC pharmaceutical only strengthens the argument that the reason for keeping marijuana illegal is strictly financial. Some contend that by legalizing marijuana the government would be able to make just as much as they do by keeping it illegal; however, due to the simplicity of marijuana growth many people would simply grow their own. Or would they? Do people grow their own tobacco? Do people brew their own beer? Yes, but the majority of people has no problem paying for the convenience of walking into a store and getting their favorite brain candy nicely packaged and ready for their consumption.
The solution to the illegalization of marijuana is not simple, but to allow thousands of Americans to be incarcerated or put on probation every year for a substance that is less harmful than alcohol and cigarettes makes a mockery of the values America was founded on. In the grand scheme of things the legalization of marijuana seems like a meaningless cause, but we must remember that in order to be able to solve the big problems we must first resolve the small ones; especially when the small problems are resulting in numerous injustices in our country everyday. The War on Drugs continues to cost this country billions of dollars and is a war that cannot be won. In order to take steps towards a country of rational human beings we must approach every bit of legislation rationally. The drug control laws in the United States are about as rational as using a stick of butter for soap. Our prisons are crowded, our tax money is being wasted, and our freedoms and liberties are under attack. Act now or see the injustices of drug laws spread to other aspects of the American way of life.

Although this is a nice story, this article has no sources. I am not at all against Marijuana usage, but this article is making claims that frankly, sound completely bullshitted.
Please have some sources. ie: “So why is marijuana still illegal with all this scientific evidence proving marijuana is not the danger most believe it is?” Where is this scientific evidence? If you are going to write an article that is suppose to be informed and persuasive, then please have something to back up your claims. In fact, the “scientific evidence” that this article refers to is the Denmark vs USA teen usage. This doesn’t actually speak to the harmful or harmless effects of marijuana.
As a side note to those trolls who will immediately jump on this comment, please reread the article before you say anything, and if you all say that it is just because I am biased, this is untrue because I actually do smoke.

Sam,
One of the articles linked at the bottom have credible sources that confirm many of the claims in the main article:
Carroll, Linda. “Marijuana’s Effects: More Than Munchies.” New York Times 22 Jan. 2008.
“872,721 marijuana arrests in 2007, up 5.2% from 2006.” NORML. 15 Sept. 2008. NORML. 22 Oct. 2008 .
Fountain, Henry. “Marijuana Ingredient May Fight Bacteria.” New York Times 5 Sept. 2008: F3.

Kirchheimer, Sid. “Heavy Marijuana Use Doesn’t Damage Brain.” WebMD. 1 July 2003. WebMD. 22 Oct. 2008 .
I can keep getting more if you’d like.
I don’t know if you’re a Wikipedia hater, but these will give you a relatively good understanding and you can always check the Wiki sources:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Anslinger
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marijuana#Medical_use
I wrote that article a few years ago in one sitting at a library. By the time I finished, I had no desire to do anything besides save it and leave. Again, if you want more sources that back up the claims, I will gladly find them.

People are rarely arrested for smoking bud in the privacy of their own home.
With that said, the majority of Marijuana arrests are related to probationary/parole violation, DUI, or smoking in a public place. In the event of legalization these crimes would still be enforced similar to how alcohol is.
No one goes to jail for the petty act of smoking pot. Everyone needs to stop exaggerating this statistic! The people in jail for drug charges are typically the ones you describe in the beginning of your article – associated with violence, fraud, tax evasion, etc.
March 24th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
Too many cops, judges, lawyers and jailers are addicted to paycheques. That’s 90% of the problem.
March 24th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
One other reason that it has been kept illegal is that there is no effective way to test for it at an exact moment such as with a brethalizer for alcohol which means that if a person is driving impaired which the “slow reaction time, paranoia, social anxiety, and temporary memory loss” means they are they cannot safely drive a vehicle, and from what I understand is a major roadblock in the legalization.

I smoked weed for like 20 years solid. Starting early in my teens. The one thing that rarely gets mentioned is that weed kills your motivation. If you occasionally puff a joint at a party it’s not going to be an issue. But, I was a hardcore pot head who do nothing but smoke weed from the time I woke up till the time I went to bed. I spend years of my life high as a kite. I certainly had some good times. But, I also look back at all the things I never did because I was completely unmotivated and sat around on my couch all day smoking bongs. I guess the thing that woke me up was meeting 60 year old pot heads talking about all the things they were going to do with their lives — and then realizing they are never going to do a damn thing but smoke weed and talk about stuff they plan on doing. I wondered if that would be me in 25 years. Any drug can be abused. Tons of people are hooked on pain killers, alcohol, and other substances. The question is: could you stop smoking weed for 6 months if you wanted to? When I did it was one of the hardest things I’d ever done. Now, I’ve got my motivation back and I’m out doing stuff and making a future for myself. I have money in the bank and I’m engaged in life and meeting people. I don’t just sit around and talk about pipe dreams any more…. I actually do the things that I’ve always wanted to do. Think about it. Pot, in and of itself, is not the problem. It’s what you do with it and your life.

“So why is marijuana still illegal with all this scientific evidence proving marijuana is not the danger most believe it is?” Where is this scientific evidence?”
Not even necessary. Scientific evidence means nothing to greedy prohibitionists who have vested interests in things remaining just as they are. One thing the article omits is that a doctor testified against criminalizing pot during the Anslinger hearings, and was basically told to take a hike. Later, when it was time for Congress to vote on it, someone misquoted him as having spoken in FAVOR of prohibition. The whole thing has been based on racism, lies and exaggerations from the beginning.
And, if we can’t trust what out govt. is telling us about drugs, can we trust anything they say?
March 24th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
a close friend of mine is a local police officer and they do have roadside tests to check if a driver has smoked. Its relatively new and still in the testing phase but on the horizon. The time is now to end this pointless attack on a plant that has more uses than anything manmade.
March 24th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
A group of us in California have decided to take the law in to our hands and take back the state from the druggies. We have decided to begin killing all drug dealers wherever they are. We are using druggie websites such as this one to get the word out!
Begin killing drug dealers NOW!
March 24th, 2009 at 11:33 pm
Marijuana should be legal for the state and for people who want it and for the state revinew the state would make more money if they would sell it so make it legal please
March 24th, 2009 at 11:48 pm
Its funny how your article says “Mexican immigrants”, I’m pretty sure they were in the southwest way before Anglo United States had even made states.
good article though.

IDK earlier said:
“People are rarely arrested for smoking bud in the privacy of their own home.

In the event of legalization these crimes would still be enforced similar to how alcohol is.”
I agree, but most people dont have the opportunity to smoke pot in their home. you’d have to live alone or live with like-minded individuals for that to be an option. since its illegal, its hard to find a place thats OK to smoke – thats what creates the need for smoking in the car.
second, you are saying these crimes would be enforced similar to alcohol. but smoking in public and drinking in public arent really comparable. its illegal to be drunk in public, but you can surely be drunk at a private or semi-public gathering like a sporting event, a bar, a concert, etc. I have a feeling most of the “smoking in a public place” arrests come from these types of events where, assuming the laws would be enforced like alcohol laws, these activities would be permissible.
the prison stats are legit. a lot of those people dont belong there.

Very interesting article, good to get some solid scientific proof out into the world. It is important to cite sources, as was mentioned previously. I do like the idea of using hemp for the things we need, and it does make good sense. So really I am not a pot smoker but I am interested in reading such in depth articles so thanks for sharing.

this is irrelevant – lets say its as horrible as the government has always said (like its worse then heroin circa reefer madness) … the issue is liberty. All substances (alcohol is a drug) and if I (a free person) decide to partake in said substance then that is my preference. If i harm another or commit a crime against another etc then i should be ‘in trouble’. Why can my neighbor grow vines and make wine when i cannot grow a natural plant and smoke it. One can easily argue the pitfalls of alcohol. I have never heard of anyone smoking weed and going home and beating their wife…. If you dont like weed, dont smoke it. I dont like alcohol so i dont drink it. This is a matter of individual choice.
Also consider it took circumvention of the constitution to make it illegal. Also consider prohibition of anything leads to violence and crime. There were more bars in NY during prohibition than there is now. MS13 gangs dont sell alcohol – why – cause they cannot compete with a legal regulated market that licenses the dispensers of the substance. Why are we incapable of learning from our experiences.
History is the key to the present and a mirror to the future…

thanks for the people who commented before me, especially “Jowerest “, eye opener.

Informative article, hopefully this will help eradicate another bit from the massive ignorance our corporate built society created.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:37 am
IDK, do you realize that the same people who choose to smoke peacefully in their own homes also lose their jobs from random drug testing, get arrested for possession, buying their smoke, and/or cultivating it. In my State (Indiana) you go to jail for having small amounts of marijuana, not a ticket. In fact it’s a class A misdimeanor and could cost you a lenthy jail sentence and $5000 fine for just having a single joint or less.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:59 am
@Jowerest.
Couldn’t agree with you more. The negative effects of weed are highly dependant on your current health/mental/social situation (like alcohol). If these aspects of your life already have a solid foundation then smoking is a great perk! However, if you’re deficient in any of these areas and you are a regular smoker, I could see it being VERY tough to rally and get yourself on point(demotivation).
I smoke almost everyday, however, I set certain “life goals” for myself and smoking is my reward. Whether its going to the gym for a couple hours, having a killer productive day at work or even taking a chunk out of a good book.
March 25th, 2009 at 11:38 am
Most people get arrested for possession and not use.
I think drug laws are just stupid, they waste time and money. But like this article states once America starts something it will be HARD to change.
The ATF and local governments employ lots of people for drug enforcement efforts and that will be hard to change.
We will still be talking about this 20 years from now.
March 25th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
I think we should digg up ANSSLINGER’s grave, pull out his remains let everyone SHHIT on them and deliver the shitty bag of bones to his family!!!!!
I can’t stand the fact that we live in a POLICE STATE!!! Run by CROOKED
GOVERMENT OFFICALS,COPS,and JUDGES!!! We spend BILLIONS of $$$$$
Incarcerating people for marijuana!!! why?? Becouse they (GOV. federal & STATE & INVESTERS) get payed every day you sit in JAIL, AND PAY YOUR FINES!!! These are the same SCUMBAGS who say WEED is a GATEWAY drug, they’re also full of shitt!!! CIGARETTES and ALCHOL are the best tag team GATEWAY drug on the planet!! They kill more people EVERY MINUTE than 10,000 years of marijuana USE!!! Another AXIS of EVIL are the PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANYS! They pay off everyone they can to keep the LIE going,and to keep thier MONEY MACHINE ROLLING IN THE CA$H!!! We could replace most of thier MANMADE, ADDICTIVE, HARMFULL CHEMICALS, WITH ORGANIC GOD GIVEN WEED!!!

The “war on drugs” is first and foremost a war on minorities. Victimless crimes will always turn the politically powerless into victims.
March 25th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
A bit disturbing that so few seem to have hit the real reason for the prohibition of marijuana.
Hemp is the most useful plant on earth. With Hemp you can make oil, butter, paper, clothing, shoes etc etc. As a matter of fact the chinese were able to derive about 5000 different products from Hemp hundreds of years before JC was even born.
Our entire society is based on petrochemicals. Look around you at the moment. Every bit of clothing, furniture, etc has petrochemicals in it.
The Dupont corporation pressured the government back in 1937 (circa) to make marijuana illegal, not because its a dangerous drug but rather to stop people from growing Hemp on a commercial scale, thereby leaving the field wide open for petrochemicals to take over.
March 25th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
i hate when stupid people try to sound smart. We don’t spend billions incarcerating people for marijuana. Police and government officials have already seen this is economically inefficient, and since we live in such a “corporate” society we would never do something so economically in efficient. A majority of incarcerations for dealing marijuana also had dealing cocaine and other harder substances included in their sentencing.
P.S. i included quotation marks for the word “corporate” society because we don’t live in a corporate society. We live in an economic society. There is much more to a society than TV and Fast Food. Family, Religion, education these make up the bulk of society and they have been largely unaffected by corporations, ( I know you can find individual cases that go against my point like some corporation that sponsored a school drive in Kentucky or whatever, but just because one pot smoker killed someone while driving doesn’t mean most will right? so save it)
March 25th, 2009 at 8:44 pm
Hemp is like the cheesecake factory of plants. Sure it can be used for thousands of things but it isn’t great for any one particular purpose. Cotton makes more durable rope, its also cheaper. Corn, canola flower, olives, even peanuts make oil for less, butter is the same thing as oil but was apparently induced twice… dude must be fat. Clothing is again not as durable as cotton.
March 27th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
I would like to add that, also in the 30’s these guys built a whole care with hemp. It was a light, very resistant and CHEAP car. This threatened FORD who was the motor and the financial backup for the prohibition of Marihuana in USA.
March 29th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
i know that this is a long comment, but please take the time to read it because it may have stuff that most people dont think about.
i feel that it is a shame that the government can illegalize something that is completly natural. it obviously has medicinal purposes if they are tyring to make pills from it. this is also shameful because the pill has taken life, but not the natural plant. this is probably because the natural plant has compounds that would counter life threatning effects…sort of like how some south americans safely chew the leaves of the cocaine producing plant(cocoa) for a coffee like effect, while too much cocaine is highly addictive and can also kill you. i got this from the history channel. the history channel also disccused the same thing the article states about the original criminalization of marijuana. what people dont know is that the government is opperated hardly any different from the drug cartels and gangsters, but they do their dirt secretly, and like the cartels, if anyone has a problem with it they find ways to keep them quiet or get the person to work for them. most pharmasuetical drugs has far more dangerous side effects than natural herbal medicines, yet for some reason people promote them and shunn marijuana. i also find it curious that opium poppies, the plant that produces two of the most dangerous drugs(morphine and heroine) can be grown legally, yet marijuana cannot. people should also realise that marijuana is seen as a bad thing mainly because it is illegal, so they do not get a chance to see the positive aspects of it. some people also say that it is bad for your pocket. this may be true, but it is only so expensive because it is a risk to sell. ask any farmer how cheap legal plant material is, especially plants that grow as fast as marijuana does. in the supermarket produce is sold for no more than 4 dollars a pound, while cannabis is sold for hundreds or even thousands per pound. it has to be the most overpriced product in the world. the sad thing about this is that if it was legal it could be grown completly for free. i am a smoker but i try to be assertive and understand non-smokers’ points of view. i have been paranoid before and has also freaked out, but as i tried to understand why i freaked out, came to realize that i was in a state where i was seeing life for what it really is(Consciousness) but did not understand it. because i am a naturalist, and have been smoking for three years before this happend to me, i was very interested to find out what was going on while i was in that state of paranoia. when i smoked again and streghnted my mind to it, it turned out to be a good and very powerful thing. i have a feeling that the government knows about this consiousness, but do not promote people to streghnten thier minds(probably because they want to keep their control over people). thanks for posting this article, it has a lot of stuff that i have also found out about and think that people should know.
March 30th, 2009 at 12:46 am
@Hiya
That’s what I was trying to get across. I met adults who didn’t start smoking pot till they got into their 20’s. Most of these people had a good foundation in life and were in a good mental state. They were able to enjoy weed recreationally without it taking over their life. Some people get hooked on Valium. Some get hooked on alcohol. Some use cocaine or meth to deal with their problems. A lot of people fall through the cracks and sit around depressed and hooked on drugs to deal with life. If we ever plan to legalize marijuana in this country then we need to make sure that there are structures in place to try to help these people. Places where they can go to get help and learn to deal with their problems in a healthy way. I think that was part of the reason I dropped out of life and became a pothead in the first place. I started smoking at such a young age that I never learned to deal with my problems as an adult. I just hid in my bong and dreamed that everything was fine. People need to learn about dealing with problems first and then they can find ways to escape and have fun. But, if the dreamworld is more real to you than the real world you are going to have issues.
March 30th, 2009 at 2:43 am
I find the arguments against pot legalization to be fundamentally dishonest and loaded with cultural bias. Pot prohibitionists appear to be nothing more than a bunch of thugs that subvert the democratic process.
And I say that as someone who has smoked the weed in several decades and doesn’t care if he ever gets to again. If I suddenly feel the need to smoke weed, I’ll leave the country for greener pastures. But if someone else wants to smoke weed, that is their decision, and I have no right to interfere with their personal choices as long as they are tax-paying adults. Better they smoke a little weed than consume Meth or Crack or drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes for that matter.
I get “high” doing prayer, meditation and fasting. Or eating nothing but corn meal and milk for thirty days. Don’t tell anyone, they might make corn and cows illegal!
April 14th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
government cant get a profit thats why its illegal
April 17th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Here are my thoughts at the end of this topic: I think that the government or those who are in higher power use some of the same techniques for other big issues like gang wars and immigration. I would like to talk more about this topic. What are your sources?

pot smokers stick up for pot because they don’t want to accept that it is bad for you. making it legal, nobody thinks of how that will affect the dealers that are non-violent that now are out of the job and have to, in-turn, sell cocaine, heroin, etc. in order to make money since weed was taken away. that will lead to more violence on the streets, which will carry-over to the public (robberies, innocent victims, etc.). on top of this, anyone that wants weed, will have extremely easy access to it, no matter the age. have you ever seen someone freak out on weed? put them behind a wheel because now it’s legal and see how many deaths attributable to weed suddenly pop up.
as a former smoker, people that fight for the legalization of weed are idiots. it helps people who are sick because they get so high they don’t think about their sickness, yet they stay sick because their immune system is affected by weed. not everyone is cool and calm when they smoke, a lot of people bug-out and are not safe in any environment. wake up please, it’s a highly addictive drug which is illegal for a reason that is not all “conspiracy” related. That social anxiety? Caused by serotonin levels being messed up from smoking. How can it not be harmful if it disrupts your natural body workings?

“With that said, the majority of Marijuana arrests are related to probationary/parole violation, DUI, or smoking in a public place. In the event of legalization these crimes would still be enforced similar to how alcohol is.
No one goes to jail for the petty act of smoking pot.”
Pointing out an exaggeration then doing the same in the opposite direction… classic.
I’m glad I can smoke without fear of LEOs anymore. In fact it’s fun when you get stopped and they ask if you have any drugs and I can tell them, “Yes sir I certainly do.”
Thanks to MMJ movement I no longer have to be doped up on prescription drugs all day due to fear of being arrested for using a much better form of medication.

Great article. But one area you might have covered is the status quo: cops, attorneys, growers, dispensaries etc. that can only profit as long as Marijuana stays ILLEGAL!
I am recommending that all Marijuana Legalization groups, throughout the planet, endorse the The Marijuana Legalization Policy Project (MERP) Model. I have provided texts to my series of videos on MERP which can be read in over 30 different languages. My name is Bruce Cain and I began the Global Movement to Re-Legalize Marijuana in 1990 with the “International Drug Policy Day” events. I will now be helping to better organize future Global Marijuana March events in order to establish Marijuana Legalization world wide. Please go to the following internet link and read my articles on MERP in your own language.

I think the comment made by Jowerest sums up why marijuana should still be illegal. There are the arguments that money is being made where it couldn’t if it was legal and the studies that say it does no harm medically (even though it does)http://alcoholism.about.com/od/pot/a/effects.-Lya.htm. But really, what the outcome of illegalization of marijuana has done is make some stance on what the United States is.
As Jowerest stated, the lifestyle of Marijuana leads to living an unmotivated life. Hiya mentioned he rewards himself with marijuana after going to the gym, going to work and reading a book. The goals that substance abusers miss out on are the more important ones, graduating from college, establishing a happy, stable family and maintaining a respectable job. I am not biased to say that those smoke pot just can’t attain a decent lifestyle but the proof shows that marijuana brings distorted perception incluiding sights, sounds, time, touch, problems with memory and learning, loss of coordination and
trouble with thinking and problem-solving.
Would someone with those symptoms be able to produce a productive life compared to one not smoking weed? How can a person or society progress when an individual is stuck on an addiction with a substance like marijuana? Endorsing a substance like marijuana would mean that morality means to blur the American foundation which gives men freedom to act of their on concious. How can one act on their own concious while under the influence of marijuana? I am glad that America has taken a stance on keeping marijuana illegal and has taken the beating that has come along with it. It means we are still fighting for a better lifestlye and an advanced society in the future instead of a backstep.

hey Joe, I am writing an in depth research paper on why marijuana should be legalized. sadly, i cannot use you as a source, but i was wondering if you could post your source about how marijuana can slow cognitive growth in subject under 18? thanks, Michael.
July 4th, 2009 at 11:54 pm
YOU WOULD PUT THE drug dealers out of business and make the government rich. what’s next crack, heroine, prostitution…make it all legal
July 14th, 2009 at 11:31 pm
If any government that currently classes weed as an illegal substance were to legalize said weed, they would in effect be admitting that they just fed their population 70+ years of false propaganda. This fact is by far the biggest reason for resistance to legalization.
July 22nd, 2009 at 10:39 pm
I’m writing a research paper right now just curious if there are any credible sources that i could site with the informmation presented here?
July 22nd, 2009 at 10:59 pm
Jon,
Here is a response to that request earlier in the comments:
“One of the articles linked at the bottom have credible sources that confirm many of the claims in the main article:
Carroll, Linda. “Marijuana’s Effects: More Than Munchies.” New York Times 22 Jan. 2008.
“872,721 marijuana arrests in 2007, up 5.2% from 2006.” NORML. 15 Sept. 2008. NORML. 22 Oct. 2008 .
Fountain, Henry. “Marijuana Ingredient May Fight Bacteria.” New York Times 5 Sept. 2008: F3.
“Info Facts – Marijuana.” National Institute of Drug Abuse. June 2008. National Institute of Drug Abuse. 22 Oct. 2008.
Kirchheimer, Sid. “Heavy Marijuana Use Doesn’t Damage Brain.” WebMD. 1 July 2003. WebMD. 22 Oct. 2008 .
I can keep getting more if you’d like.
I don’t know if you’re a Wikipedia hater, but these will give you a relatively good understanding and you can always check the Wiki sources:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Anslinger
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marijuana#Medical_use
I wrote that article a few years ago in one sitting at a library. By the time I finished, I had no desire to do anything besides save it and leave. Again, if you want more sources that back up the claims, I will gladly find them.”
July 22nd, 2009 at 11:27 pm
Thanks alot man, yeah i’m not allowed to use wikipeidia, it a college writing course so basically all my information needs to come from someone with a PHD.
but again thanks
July 22nd, 2009 at 11:32 pm
Just realized you wrote this article, very nice work
July 23rd, 2009 at 12:53 am
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it and I hope you enjoy all the other articles we have to offer ha.
July 23rd, 2009 at 2:40 am
was this published in some sort of periodical that i could perhaps cite?
July 30th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
@Brian,
Your conclusions are wrong, sorry! Smoking leads to living an unmotivated life? PAH-LEEEEEZ! I have been a heavy smoker for a long time. I’ve got a college education, I’ve got a high-paying computer programming job… I know a lot of people in my profession who also smoke. You think people can’t solve problems if they enjoy smoking bud? Well let me tell you something pal, computer programming is nothing but problem solving. I’ve got a very successful life.
What have you to say about Michael Phelps? How about Carl Sagan? George Washington (he grew it)? Abraham Lincoln (smoked it)? Barack Obama (smoked it)? How can you become president of the united states if you are a slacker? Before you start saying this only applies to heavy smokers… remember that your conclusion is that we should jail people who smoke it.
Instead of taking your opinions and coming to the conclusion that YOU shouldn’t smoke it, your conclusion is that you want to PUNISH other people for doing what YOU don’t want to do. How does that make any sense at all? You are entitled to your (incorrect) opinions, but please don’t feel like your personal preferences need to be ENFORCED on everybody else!!!!
Besides it doesn’t matter that you think smokers will necessarily become deadbeats… Why do you think we should put these people in PRISON?
Please wise up.

when im high driving feels completely normal. i would not suggest however driving in the “thick” of your high. driving and thc takes a little comon sense. when im blazed im sure i could drive but i wont to ensure nothing goes wrong. thc doesnt impair you like any other substance. unlike alcohol the initial high last about 45 mins to an hour. after that you calm down and start to slowly feel normal again.

you are right. anything is bad if abused to much. you see someone who is overweight, they abuse food. food is not a drug, but to the overweight user it is. you see people who pack their life working. workaholics. work is not a drug, but to the workaholic it is. you see someone smoking pot 24/7 day and night. pot is just and plant that grows naturally. its not a drug. but to the pothead it is a drug. so it depends on what you do with it. in my opinion marijuana should be completely legal! the government has no right to tell us what we can do with our lives. i smoke probably 4-5 times a week. im fine. not interested in other substances such as cocaine.

Hemp is the most useful plant on earth. With Hemp you can make oil, butter, paper, clothing, shoes etc etc. As a matter of fact the chinese were able to derive about 5000 different products from Hemp hundreds of years before JC was even born.
that is impressive. i didnt know that! that is awesome.

wish i could send this article to the US Legislative branch members. This is quite a reasonable/rational argument and i enjoyed reading this article. Many people suffer from a lack of knowledge and therefore develope biased opinions which are never corrected and remain rooted into their minds throughout adulthood. I know for a fact that i would have never got into trouble for possession if my parents were neutral on the subject to begin with, hostility towards the subject made me reason that it was better to risk smoking elsewhere rather than on my own property, safe from law enforcement.

its not mariguana…its marijuana first of all….second why do u believe is should be legal…i agree with u that it should be but ur comment doesnt list any reasons….yes marijuana is significantly less harmful than alcohol or cigs….but there are still bad things about it…however it doesnt cause brain damage or cancer…the one thing this country(USA) doesnt need is more lazy, fat people around just collecting unemployment checks sucking on the teet of the government…the efforts of the Drug War are futile n cost tax payers untold amounts of money….but it looks worse if they did nothing….the government would be making money off it legal n probably more being illegal
