  1. Our US government has made marijuana more profitable by classifying it as an elicit drug. Instead of taxing it like they do with pharmaceuticals they force tax payers to waste billions of dollars yearly on a plant that makes underground drug dealers profit daily. illegal or not people are still going to use it, making the war on drugs a huge wast of time. The police are wasting the money and man power when they could be saving lives and keep real criminals off the street…

The reason the government wont make it legal federally, is due to the harmful chemicals and poisons made by manufacturing company's that stand to lose billions by this plant. They know what it can do and how safe and biodegradable it is. They know they stand to lose because its an alternative to the tobacco and alcohol that kills thousands yearly.
