Can someone give me a reason why it is illegal in the US. Not the controlled substance part from the gov, the actual reason behind that part. I can't really see any reason for it to be banned as it is basically like alcohol and the same rules can be applied to it.
The manliest post on the internet

The US constitution was drafted on hemp paper.
George Washington grew hemp. Jefferson even smuggled hemp seeds out of China...
The first Bibles where on hemp paper.
You used to be able to pay taxes with hemp crops.
It used to be embraced, patriotic even to grow it...
The reason why it's now illegal?
Henry Ford designed the T model Ford to run on oil made from hemp.
That's right, the oil companies.

Pretty much this, and through some easy public manipulation, everyone decided it was terrible. Basically,
describes the reason why.

I watched a special on the History Channel about it once. It was illegalized because of the goody two shoes faggots. They ran commercials on television that depicted users of marijuana to be psychotic freaks. When in reality, a drunk person is much more dangerous to be around than someone who is high. It's complete bull shit.

Because a syringe is how you take marijuana. Argument invalid.

No way! Maybe when America goes completely green, marijuana will be legalized.

I don't see the Legalisiation of Marijuana happening anytime soon.
It's the classic case of: what you can't have, you want. It has already been compared to alcohol, with the given argument "alcohol is worse". Imagine a world with no bars (alcohol consumption is illegal), and you were born into this world. You know no different; As do your parents, their parents and so on. But instead, Marijuana was legal. And oh what's this, dealers selling Alcohol. You can't have it, there for you want it.

I think I would trade weed for alcohol. Not that I partake in either activity but if people are going to put substances into their body to make them even more stupid, it might as well turn them into morons drooling on themselves rather than morons who fight, puke all over themselves, and drive cars recklessly.
I'm the bawss.

But then one could make the reverse arguement; "Why is alchohol illegal when it's just as safe as weed?", etc etc. It's either both or neither.

Statistically speaking, alchohol has destroyed WAY more lives than it has weed.
Pot just makes you stupid and really calm pretty much, wheras alchohol just makes you an asshole. Both distort your senses a bit, but alchohol you tend to not notice as much, so you do stupid things more.

It confounds me as to why marijuana is illegal because there is serious money to be made there. All government needs to do is regulate the stuff, and let the tobacco companies grow and produce it. Then tax the hell out of it, just like alcohol and cigs.
Hopefully this does happen, because with all the kiddies not taking up smokes anymore, and with all these lawsuits, my tobacco shares seem a little bleak.

I'd say that's more cultural or personal than any inherent quality of alcohol.

As in the acting like an asshole and not noticing thing? Not really, it's pretty much widely acknowledged that alchohol makes you an asshole and you don't know until awhile after. Also, hangovers.

Simple,
Because it makes you look

Weed is legal over here (the netherlands), and nobody ends up like that. First of all, weed isn't expensive, so the chance of people getting homeless is VERY small. And weed doesn't fuck you up like harddrugs does, the only thing THC does (the main psychoactive substance found in cannabis/weed) is lower your sugar. Yes, eventually it will damage your brain a bit, but you won't look like that man, ever.
In my opinion weed should be legalized over the whole world, people don't get crazy when being under influence of weed. All the people that can't handle alcohol and get all agressive, would be sitting on their chair, chilling, while smoking their joint, instead of fighting/yelling and whatever the fuck they do when they drink alcohol.

I don't think it's impossible- too much of anything is not good for you, but yes, you'd need SHITTONS more weed than almost any LEGAL drug (count the amount of suicides from NON PRESCRIPTION DRUGS..) out there.
but nope, mary jane's vajayjay is the door to heroin and coke and terrible hard drugs therefore it needs to be banned.

Yeah, marijuana isn't a gateway drug. It's just the people that are dealing the weed are usually tied up in trafficking other drugs. That's my theory anyway.

Exactly, so people who are dealing illegally will be carrying OTHER illegal drugs, thus the person buying it will be given access to it, and since it's illegal anyway, at that point they won't give a shit.
But if weed's legal, it's a whole 'nother story. Sure, the gateway shit might still be there a bit (AKA as little as it actually is), but it'll diminish and practically vanish.
