The government, if you all have not noticed absolutely loves to tax, regulate and control every aspect of our lives, including what we put into our own bodies. I do agree that narcotics should never be legal, but a little weed never hurt anyone. With the rise in the american drug cartel, we can only wonder if the government plays a bigger role than know in the smuggling scene. I believe that if the government didn't want drugs coming into and leaving this country, THEY WOULDNT! The government is involved with most likely over 50% of the "unknown" operations because they make money first selling, then busting. If you think I'm crazy when I say the government contributes to the cartel, you are an idiot who knows nothing. Anywho, would it be less complicated if weed were legal, or is there hidden reasoning as to why it is kept on the no-no list.
