Any explanation as to why Marijuana is illegal around the world?????

[Leasy]

Just read an article that stated it is the leading drug use in the world. Why does every country have it illegal? Hemp fiber can be amazing and beneficial.

What do yoy guys think?

Lobby groups - tobacco, paper, big pharma

Early misconceptions. It was looked at like crack or heroin at one point.

Good question.
My take is that Marijuana has an hippy/lazy/rastafari/rebel image which is not compatible with our work-obsessed society.

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

pretty sure the united nations has an anti-drug treaty that effectively made it illegal all over the world. Ironically, Marijuana is legal in North Korea.

you can't be for alcohol and against marijuana...that's why I oppose both.

 

[Xtraz2]

illuminati not letting us expand out minds by using marijuana

 

[Lana Kane]

Because you can bust more people with weed than other drugs.

What the hell does "oppose" even mean?

To support others rights to use Marijuana doesn't mean you have to do it yourself. Penn Jillette has never taken a single drug in his life and he supports Marijuana legalization.

Both lead to destruction of body.
Society has an obligations to define norms and standards.
that should include sex, drugs and behaviors....

Marijuana, when used (not ABUSED) properly does not destroy your body. Alcohol on the other hand.. yeah..

Who is "society"? Who gets to decide?

Thank GOD you aren't the one defining these "norms and standards".

Society is the people who have the best interest of the state at hand.

Right now weed it's illegal I will keep it that way, if I were to start a civilization from scratch I would ban weed and Alcohol.

Since one is already banned let's not open the flood gates.
Marijuana is also the number 1 gateway drug don't forget...I do not want to live in a society where everyone is stoned.

Everyone is already stoned pal. Let me ask you this, what does making marijuana illegal do exactly? Do you really think it discourages use?

and the reason is purely societal and not chemical

weed is illegal, so if you smoke it its inevitable that youll be in contact with people who have the harder shyt
