Marijuana

[Armin]

Iam still saying that the only reason Marijunana is outlawed for the soul propuse that the government cant tax it because people can grow it in their backyards.

Wait, why exactly can't the government tax Marijuana?

How are they going to tax it when you are growing it out of your backyard?

If this was an issue, people wouldn't be paying street price for the illegal drug, and would be growing it in the back yard as well. Remember alcohol prohibition? The street price for alcohol was MUCH more expensive than what it had been when it was legal.

By selling it for cheaper, and throwing illegal sellers/buyers in jail -- basically, make it more worthwhile to buy it legally.

Its very hard to grow bud. I have tried and Have failed several times. Its much easier and time efficient to just buy it off the streets.

@iago People have been buying and selling Weed for over 40 years and iam sure that not even 90% of drug dealers have even step foot in jail. Plus nor should they, There alot more important things to be protecting and serving then taking someone into an already croward jail cell for selling something illegal.

Wait, did you just support his point after he used it to imply your incorrectness? ...

Before you go on the rant of people growing Tobacco too, The 4,000 chemicals that go into cigrattes are not as easy to obtain.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the chemicals basically just natural stuff?  I might be wrong, but I don't think that companies add a whole lot to tobacco.

I dont think that any of these are natural.

Then where do they come from?  Do you think somebody sits there adding poison to cigarettes for fun? 

Here's some information on the manufacture of cigarettes:

Modern cigarettes produced after the 1950s, due to technological innovations, are composed mainly of several tobacco leaf-types and their processing by-products. Each cigarette's tobacco blend is made mainly from the leaves of flue-cured brightleaf, burley tobacco, and oriental tobacco. These leaves are selected, processed, and aged prior to blending and filling. The processing of brightleaf and burley tobaccos for tobacco leaf "strips" produces several by-products such as leaf stems, tobacco dust, and tobacco leaf pieces ("small laminate"). To improve the economics of producing cigarettes, these by-products are processed on the side into forms where they can then be added back into the cigarette blend without an apparent or marked change in the cigarette's quality.

Regardless, Tabacco kills 400,00 a year in USA.

Drug dealers either directly or indirectly supply money to drug lords and gangs.

What a biased piece of crap. They take /naturally occurring/ chemicals and make them sound completely unnatural.

I think nicotine is the drug you are referring to, not tobacco. That is just my opinion.

The only way I know of to get nicotine in a relatively cheap way is tobacco

And what's that have to do with the difficulty of manufacturing it (which is what we were talking about)?

Nicotine patches, nicotine gum, etc.
