Just another reason:

You can't patent a plant, so giant companies technically couldn't make a huge income off of hemp. I mean yes you could sell it, but without a patent any company could do it. There'd be no monopolization = not enough money = corporate leaders whisper in congress ear that it wouldn't help their profit margin = there's no reason to legalize it

I'm banking on sarcasm but you can never be to careful.






Well if you are smoking it, inhaling any kind of smoke into your lungs can put you at risk for cardiovascular diseases among other problems.



Troll? There is all kinds of info on this propaganda that "smoke is smoke" Some smoke will kill you in one lung full. Some smoke like cigarette smoke kills you very slowly over a looong period of time. By the way, cigarette smoke kills you because it has radioactive lead and polonium in it from the chemical fertilizers that are used. Lead 210 stays in your body and over time builds until you get the cancer.

Weed smoke is virtually harmless, not to mention THC protects the lungs against cancer anyway.




Weed isn't that bad to smoke but it is harmful just because it is a combustion product - he's not trollin'.
It still has carbon monoxide in the vapors at the least.

Breathing the air in a big city is probably worse for you then smoking weed.

And if we're talking health, eating a Big Mac is about 800x worse for you then smoking weed.

Yeah probably :smilingpuppy: just pointing out that it isn't completely without harm.

Now vaping on the other hand... :vaped:

You're so fucking naive.  Sure, cigarette smoke is more likely to cause cancer, but marijuana smoke has 3 times the tar per weight.  Of course one smokes a lot more weight of tobacco in an average day than marijuana.  So it probably works out to about equal.  But if you don't think coating your lungs in tar is going to effect your heath, you're incredibly stupid.


Now if you just eat or vaporize your weed, you shouldn't experience any health effects whatsoever.  But smoking anything is unhealthy.  I don't care if it's weed, cigarettes, or the grass in your back yard.

William Randolph Hearst also played a part in it becoming illegal I'm pretty sure.

He owned a vast majority of paper mills, and back then hemp was being talking about as a cheaper route than paper, so he helped with the smear campaign as well.

Sorry,but cannabis dont contains tar.

The propaganda even said 1 joint is like smoking 20 cigarettes,
but cannabis with tar is impossible.
They mix tabacco with tar,its not natural.

Smoking tabacco is much worst then smoking a pure joint.

Well even if it isn't "tar," cannabinoids are oils or resins or something, which are thick, fatty substances, and weed smoke is essentially a gasified version of that. Hav eyou ever used a bong made out of a plastic bottle over an extended period of time and this yellow brown stciky stuff collects on the sides? So whatever you wanna call it, weed smoke does have more "heavy stuff" than cigarette smoke. However cigarette smoke is a lot more harsh and a lot more toxic.

That is oil from the cannabis it self,but not tar.

Thc also helps kill cancer cells they discovered.

You basically completely ignored my post. I don't even know what you're trying to say.

First of all I said that "tar" may not be the most accurate word.

Second of all, the psychoactive chemicals in weed are called cannabinoids, and cannabinoids are oils (or at least something very similar).

Oils are "heavy" or 'dense" for lack of a better description and the smoke of combusted oils deposits more onto surface areas (like your lungs.)

Cigarette smoke is less dense than weed smoke because it simply doesn't have as much oil/resin/whatever.

Marijuana is illegal because the big drug companies can't make any money from it when Joe Blow can grow some in his basement.

Tar is a byproduct of combusting any type of plant material.

Cigarretes may have added tar to change burning speed, but all combusted plant matter will have tar in its smoke.

Marihuana is illegal because we didnt flood the streets in protests for days in all major cities.

If we would do like they are doin in middle east right now. Marijuana would be legal in no time.

We are just too busy/not motivated to go in the streets and protest.

If a group stood up long enough, it would create a hype and people would join the crowd just because the crowd is there.

"But one thing is clear: Marijuana was made illegal by subterfuge, racism, corporate greed and coercion."


that's by, not why.


I;m thinking like in a climatic scenario here where we people rush up in the congress government what have you, and demand to know why it is illegal and if they dont come up with something then they should have to uncriminalize it, after all it's what we the people want right?
