This will probably spark an interesting debate... I've always wondered, why in the US is Marijuana illegal yet Alcohol and Tobacco are legal? Does not make much sense to me, maybe someone could try to clarify that for me...

One interesting article I read from some crazy conspiracy theory website suggests that marijuana was illegalized in the early 1930s after lobbying from DuPont, because hemp is a popular material for ropes and textiles, and DuPont was just beginning the maufacturing of synthethic materials like nylon and polyester to replace hemp based products.

I heard it was because when it was legal in the 1930's, tobacco companies were losing huge profits.

The main reason why (IMO) why Marajuania is illegal is that it cannot be regulated like Tobacco and Achohol can. If they could find a way to make it so it was just grown on farms, and you pay about a 50% tax on it, it would be legal.

because many of the people who founded and governed our country in the
beginning were tobacco farmers. they kept it legal, then it
became an even bigger industry, then people learned what it does to
you, and by then it was too big of a corporation to simply outlaw, too
many jobs depended on it. also, its not very mind altering.
marijuana...wasnt. and alcohol has been a huge part of cultures
for like...ever.

Counter-Counterquestion. When something is illegal, why do people start it, continue to embrace or embellish it and even glorify the act? |

Marijuana won't be legal for at least 20 years.
