What would currently-illegal drugs look like if produced by corporations?

30. Why shouldn't a plant be legal?

Poppies that are the basis for opium are legal to grow in your garden in this nation.

The entire basis for the law is racist and grounded in ignorance.

The only people I know who oppose legality are those who have a financial interest in keeping cannabis illegal - and those are people involved in the alcoholic beverage industry

current illegal growers who fear their profits will evaporate when people can legally grow themselves

certain law enforcement agencies who count on the DEA to fluff their budgets

and people who want to force Americans into a fake "substance abuse" paradigm for cannabis when the reality is that cannabis is no more harmful than caffeine.

the reality is that it is ENTIRELY possible to regulate in such a way that big tobacco is kept out of the mix.

As Jimmy Carter showed, opening the craft brew industry greatly improved the market for beer - in terms of quality - but, just as now with marijuana, the alcoholic beverage industry opposed this change in the law.

Prior to prohibition, cannabis was a safe and legal product for 5000 YEARS.

But you're trying to claim the last 70-plus years of prohibition makes this an impossible scenario now... because... fear.
