lol, I'm just waiting for Steve to break, Although he says he never touched the stuff some of the things he comes up with...
It is not legal because of a bad mix of greedy politics. For starters taxation, it is way easy to grow yourself, easy as a tomato plant. if everyone is growing it themselves then they can't collect tax like they do from the pharmaceutical companies. With alcohol and tobacco, they are hard to manufacture by hand making it very easy to tax. However, you cannot just manufacture these without a tax stamp. There is actually a marijuana tax stamp, but one has never been issued. You can basically blame Dupont for this. You know the synthetic fiber manufacturer their biggest competitor being hemp. Dupont and the pharmaceutical companies helped lobby and spread bad propaganda (such as
Refer Madness) about marijuana. The sad part is a lot of people actually still have refer madness type beliefs.
Just my 2 cents from previous research...
With that said I've never touched the stuff
