Question

Help answer this question below.

Liquor seems to be 10 times as dangerous, as far as, physical, verbal, and emotional violence, go. Not to mention the impairment it causes. So why is pot illegal, and liquor is not?

    pot is illegal because of dupont and hearst. In the 1920's a way to make paper cheaply from hemp was developed. Hearst stood to lose millions from loss of sale of trees and dupont stood to lose millions from loss of profits from a new chemical process he had developed to turn wood into paper pulp. So Hearst started a yellow journalism campaign about Marijuana and crazy mexicans committng crimes against whites while high on marijuana..then dupont got his nephew named head of the ATF and they made marijuana illegal...and people were happy...until they realized that marijuana was the hemp that they drank in teas and smoked for illnesses and pain and glaucoma relief... http://www.zpub.com/sf/history/will2.html

    Because of all the "martini" luncheons held for politicians. How many "marijuana" lunches have you ever heard of?

    Because prohibition af alcohol did not work. If you check you will find the Pot became illegal around the end of prohibition. The Mob has to have something to sell, or how could they buy politicians?

    because smoking weed can cause you to become scitzophrenic and normally leads to harder drugs.

    because, once you get pot, you seem like you can'T have enough, while liquor, you can have some, then yo're tired of it...
