I never thought I'd see legal marijuana in my lifetime. Funny that some states are now considering legalizing marijuana because they need the tax money.

Marijuana wouldn't have ever been illegal if it hadn't have been for William Randolph Hearst protecting his newspaper empire. You see, marijuana makes paper better and cheaper than can be made from trees. Hearst saw this cheap paper as a danger to his fortune as he owned huge amounts of forests that were used to supply paper to his publishing empire. So he went on a campaign to demonize marijuana and he did one hell of a job of it with his newspaper empire.

It's funny that a ton of people still believe the old BS Hearst put out 100 years ago but they do. Like prohibition laws, marijuana laws haven't worked. They've caused a lot of harm and cost a lot of money trying to enforce outdated and stupid marijuana laws. I agree, legalize it, quit spending money on enforcement, let all the people out of prison or jail who are there for marijuana and tax the shit out of it.

The govt so kindly raised the taxes on cigarettes but they should have also raised the taxes on all alcohol products at the same time. Alcohol causes more damage and it more dngerous than either cigarettes or marijuana.

It's about time some of the states started waking up and reforming their archaic marijuana laws.
