Mary would cure the pains of millions of people if it were legalized. No matter what, marijuana will be mass produced and illegally distributed, why not just legalize it?

I believe that if they knew what it was like to experience the intense nausea or the pain that some people have and for whom marijuana would help, they wouldn't be so against it any more.

Why hooch isn't legal is a long story, an old story, a story that holds no water. Thousands of people suffer pain daily, but because of politics and ignorance, we will continue to suffer. This proves the govt. and the medical community (generally speaking) don't give a fig for me, how can I respect such a ridiculous set of laws that only egg on the 'drug war'? It's beyond ridiculous, especially since pot is a proven analgesic.

That taxing it may be something they (states or feds) would want to do, but haven't set up a system for yet. I don't know anything about how that (taxing things, setting up rules for taxing things, etc.) works, so that "theory" could be just that - speculation, talk - but it's just something I've heard.

You sound like the feds/states wanting to tax marijuana is an argument against legalization...wouldn't it be an argument for it? What am I missing? Alicia
