It's was the tearing down of moral and religious constraints by the left that made it happen. Same with abortion and porn.
Do you not think that maybe there was a lot of propaganda around in the first place to make it illegal? Sure were/are a lot of monied interests in this country who wouldn’t like marijuana legal.
No, I think those who warned about legalization in the past were right on. They nailed it. They were right about it's effects on culture and society. I think there are plenty of monied interests today who want to see marijuana legal. The government wants tax money off from it which is why Obama is going to go full tilt to legalize it as fast as he can...at the expense of the American people. George Soros have funded almost every legalization effort so I'm sure he's well positioned to profit.. at the expense of the American people.
You don’t think the cotton and tobacco industries saw disaster looming in marijuana/hemp remaining legal?
What are the negative effects on society? I see negative effects from making it something bought on the black market. I don’t see problems with its use. The people I know who use remain productive members of society. If I were relying on someone to get something done I would much rather they smoked weed the night before over drank alcohol.
Do you think Reefer Madness was an accurate portrayal of marijuana?
