Fortunately, the states are legalizing it one by one and the feds will be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century one of these days.
I'm quite sure its bribes from the pharm industry as well as the alcohol and tobacco industries that are keeping it illegal.
Grandote, I know you don't believe anything coming out of a politicians mouth. They are professional liars. Always have been and always will be.
My take on it is that whatever a politician says, believe the opposite.
How ANYONE could ever think that MJ should be in the same category with H doesn't have a clue.
Big pharma wants it to remain illegal. They don't want anyone using anything but their pills.
Just think how fast this country could get out of financial trouble if they would legalize it and tax it like they do with alcohol and tobacco.
I don't use or care for it myself, but people should be able to if they want to. Some (most) of the laws in this country are stupid and made up by ignorant people.
