would never legalize it, probably. There seems to be a thing in the US that it's OK to drink your guts out and do hard drugs, but weed, on no, that's bad. All my life they've been trying to discredit weed and make it out to be a horrific drug, but no real success, and they still try.

Meanwhile, apparently, the US gov. feels all of the murders, the senseless deaths, crime from marijuana prohibition laws are perfectly fine.

Often I think a lot of it has to do with protecting the jobs of enforcers and also the tremendous profits being made by keeping marijuana illegal.
