Unlike marijuana, the government is able to tax alcohol and cigarettes as they have no way of regulating it's growth and sales.
It was originally outlawed because hemp was seen as a threat by industries that had already invested in cotton, wool, etc.
The United States was founded on tobacco. Tobacco was the number one cash crop in the Virginia area, and opened the doors for much of the expansion of early settlements.Health Question & Answer

It's about taxes.
also...where do they sell it, how do they classify it.?
Do they sell it in a drug store...or a liquor store..or can they sell it where cigarettes are sold.?
I suggest a liquor store but there are others that feel a drug store would be better.Since it is smoked others have said it should be sold like cigarettes.
At one time you could legally smoke Opium. San Francisco was famous for it's Opium dens. Worldwide it was the "chic" thing to do.
It has reached it's time for it to be legalized but heaven forbid, imagine the growers, distributers and pushers and users it will put out of business and the taxpayers money saved by not busting, charging and convicting the felons. It costs a lot to feed the justice system.
Who pays for it...you and me...the taxpayer.
Think of the revenue for the government by taxing it. So who wins.? I think once it's legalized it will be more affordable but I don't think the government has any idea what should be charged. It's time to let the people vote, let the people decide.

I smoked for many years and thought pot was totally harmless for nearly ten tears, but through my own and close friends experiences have come to see pot in a completely different light.It has been incredibly enlightened to learn from others and through years of research as I've been working in the industry (Drug and alcohol rehab).
Pot in small doses in social gatherings or now then to chill out when you come home from a hard day is harmless to your average Joe blow.
But unfortunately there is a whole other side to Pot in regards to mental health with chronic smokers, there is undeniable patterns appearing in X and Y generations presenting in later life with chronic social and mental health issues.
Nothing in the scale of Alcohol and ciggies, but there is a sleeping giant out there of undiagnosed illnesses presenting themselves in other ways such as depression, psychotic episodes, mania and other disorders that were rarely or never prevalent in heavy users in there pre-pot years. Now all of these are definitely not directly contributed to by pot but the coincidence is just to prevalent to be ignored.
Pot is definitely a dangerous drug if used daily and or regularly for the wrong reasons, e.g cant relax unless I'm stoned, plan my day around my using etc
The above reasons combined with many young users losing touch with reality justifys the reasons this drug is on the controlled drugs list.
It should definitely be de-criminalised but it should remain controlled to an extent probably not as stringent as it is now but young users should be made aware of the long term affects the drug pot can have on you. Health Question & Answer
