So you don't have them" Imma bitch to the world "hangovers..How many a** holes does it take to say " BOOZE" was illegal oh wait but that's legal now ........
How many dumb asses does it take to NOT KNOW HISTORY ............ obviously the asses indoctrinated by the WAR ON DRUGS which worked so well we've never seen another drug to this day...........
The war on gun take down will work so well there won't ever be another murder.......
If more people knew history and the reasons behind the BS LAWQS today we might not have so many indoctrinated dumbasses who need the FEDS to tell them how to FUNCTION in daily life.,
Prohibition Repealed, But Not for Drugs
In the 1930s, the nation’s top anti-narcotics official took up the anti-marijuana cause.
Ironically, Harry J. Anslinger, a former assistant commissioner of the Prohibition Bureau who headed the U.S. Treasury Department’s Narcotics Bureau from 1930 to 1962, initially opposed federal legislation against marijuana because he foresaw it would be difficult for his agency to enforce.
However, Anslinger began to capitalize on fears about marijuana while pressing a public relations campaign to encourage the passage of uniform anti-narcotics legislation in all 48 states. He later lobbied in favor of the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937.
In Congressional testimony, Anslinger drew from what became known as his “gore file” of brutal murders and rapes allegedly committed by people high on pot. (That the marijuana was a causal factor for the crime was taken for granted.) “How many murders, suicides, robberies, criminal assaults, holdups, burglaries and deeds of maniacal insanity it causes each year can only be conjectured,” Anslinger wrote in a 1937 article in American Magazinetitle “Marijuana, Assassin of Youth.”
It was surely no coincidence that the scare movie Reefer Madness came a year earlier.
The 1937 Marijuana Tax Act, which regulated the drug by requiring dealers to pay a transfer tax, passed in the House after less than a half-hour of debate and received only cursory attention in the press. House members seem not to have known a great deal about the drug. In response to a question from another member, Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn (D-Tex.) explained that marijuana was “a narcotic of some kind,” while another Representative John D. Dingle (D-Mich.) appeared to confuse it with locoweed, a different plant.
In hearings, the only witness to speak against the bill was a representative of the American Medical Association, who congressmen accused of obstructionism and misrepresenting the AMA’s views.

THIS IS WHY YOU THINK POT IS SO DANGEROUS, THIS IS WHY SO MANY HAVEN'T A CLUE WHY THEY DEEMED IT ILLEGAL......... this is why so many haven't a clue why the NWO assholes created the " WAR ON DRUGS" ........ THIS IS WHY MOST OF YOU DON'T GET HOW IT AND WHY IT GENERATED MONEY FOR DECADES FROM YOUR LOCAL COPS, THE COURTS, THE FED. SYSTEM ETC...
This is why you don't see it legal because BIG PHARMA knew if ppl realized the Medicinal benefits it has they would lose billions....... why do you think they want their grubby hands on it now....
“From the moment he took charge of the bureau, Harry was aware of the weakness of his new position. A war on narcotics alone — cocaine and heroin, outlawed in 1914 — wasn’t enough,” author Johann Hari wrote in his book, “Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs.” “They were used only by a tiny minority, and you couldn’t keep an entire department alive on such small crumbs. He needed more.”

Marijuana votes in five states could have national impact
Consequently, Anslinger made it his mission to rid the U.S. of all drugs — including cannabis. His influence played a major role in the introduction and passage of the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937, which outlawed possessing or selling pot.
Fueled by a handful of 1920s newspaper stories about crazed or violent episodes after marijuana use, Anslinger first claimed that the drug could cause psychosis and eventually insanity. In a radio address, he stated young people are “slaves to this narcotic, continuing addiction until they deteriorate mentally, become insane, turn to violent crime and murder.”
In particular, he latched on to the story of a young man named Victor Licata, who had hacked his family to death with an ax, supposedly while high on cannabis. It was discovered many years later, however, that Licata had a history of mental illness in his family, and there was no proof he ever used the drug.
The problem was, there was little scientific evidence that supported Anslinger’s claims. He contacted 30 scientists, according to Hari, and 29 told him cannabis was not a dangerous drug. But it was the theory of the single expert who agreed with him that he presented to the public — cannabis was an evil that should be banned — and the press ran with this sensationalized version.

The man behind the marijuana ban for all the wrong reasons
Abso-f'n-lutely..., now that you bring it up, ... No apparently the OP doesn't know that I have an ironical / factitious streak... so shouldn't joke too much on his thread.... lol! I am actually worried about increased Cheech & Chongs on our roadways... hopefully it will be a non issue... booze is quite bad already in NH and VT by all accounts. (tell ya what 'Bart' I'll ride my bike more to offset my truck's diesel consumption)To spend more money on gas to protect the oil industry?So if I take lots of this medicine... or at least take it regularly, I should be more full of vitality exuding a more 'chi' / chee, aura or something... lol My opinion is 'whatever floats your boat'... until we have an uptick in DUI's... Neighboring VT is legal as of next mo. & I'm probably going to garage my convertible and drive my truck more... ughIt is medically proven to be medicinal and again the FEDS LIED TO YOU, as there's been a patent on it since 2003.

Yeah, and now that those pos losers want to dip their fingers into now , they will taint it in ways that it never was before.
Why, so that more ppl will trust getting it from them , big pharma. So by making the little people who sell it in lets say dispensaries end up with bad crap, ppl won't trust them and will want the big pharma crap.

Actually, they went after marijuana right after the 21st Amendment was ratified. I believe I once read that many who supported the 18th were involved.
