Well when they brought it up and the press confrence, Obama laughed it off and said "what does that say about our online users?". He then went on to say he was against legalizing marijuana.

this was pointed by out by someone on another thread - it's not about legalization, it's about re-legalization
for majority of this country's history, marijuana has not been illegal
if you want to compare the issues/problems between the pre-legal and post-legal times, there is really no comparison - prohibition has increased the usage and problems(of all kinds)

Exactly. Re-legalization. This "substance" has been around and used by humankind for 3000 years!

and please please do info me .... what is that reason?

Do some more research, it's illegal because whitey don't like darky. 1920-1937

It's illegal because Nixon hates Jews and hippies... 1972

It's still illegal, Just say no... 1982

on and on...

...and fuck the children, nobody worried about me and I turned out fine! Gotta worry more about child molestors and shit instead of drugs. Jeeeze! Anyway, prohibition and... yada yada....

I am familiar with the notes you provide. in my view those are not "reasons" for illegality. Those are personal agendas.

Speaking for myself, the re-legalization movement is about freedom plain and simple. To criminalize nature is a crime in itself.
One's brain is altered regardless of the drug ingested. Do you drink coffee?

The metrics used to measure intoxication will not change once cannabis is re-legalized. The very same methods and standards will apply then as now.
Is a prescription needed to purchase aspirin? Why should cannabis be any different?
Re-legalize it and that problem disappears.
I am pro-cannabis as well as a concerned citizen. I worry about the billions of dollars spent criminalizing an activity which harms no one.

Our country wastes billions of tax dollars investigating, harassing, prosecuting, and incarcerating hundreds of thousands of otherwise law-abiding and productive citizens.

I worry about gestapo-like snitch organizations freely operating in the public schools encouraging children to rat out their parents.

I worry about people who are marginalized by a culture which disapproves of their method of recreation.

I worry about being subjected to random drug tests and other egregious privacy violations.

Is it acceptable to come to work drunk?

I worry about the message sent to children as well: That growing up Fascist is not so bad after all.
It is illegal because some very bad people make a lot of money thanks to prohibition. Our War on Drugs has fueled an open war in Northern Mexico.

It is also illegal because citizens do not realize that cannabis was perfectly legal for thousands of years up until the last century. That's right! Cannabis prohibition is a relatively young development in the history of cannabis. Less than one hundred years.

Why are you afraid of me expanding my mind?

Thank you for sharing your views.

Typical uninformed bullshit.

There are plenty of things that are illegal, and not all of them are illegal for "good reason".

Some of us are smart enough to realize this, and some of us are brainwashed into believing that everything the gov't does is in our "best interest". These are generally people who aren't smart enough to think for themselves. The OP is obviously in the latter category.

I just now noticed the date of this thread.

The OP has not come back to defend his/her points. Last login was four minutes after the initial post.

Posted one and 'yer done.

How about a rebuttal you fucking liberty-phobic troll?

Obviously the OP is an ill-informed person that does what he's told and believes what he's told too. Typical product of our government
