Let me rephrase my question: If alcohol and tobacco are legal, why isn't marijuana?
HERE ME THROUGH ON THIS.
ok, theres a lot of info in here, so dont answer until i say its alright
first of all, I AM NOT A POTHEAD! i am a 3.5 student who has never touched, smoked, or done anything with pot. This is all strictly facts that i have put together from numerous websites, and sources will be provided when needed.
Ok first, some facts about alcohol, tobbaco, and marijuana
Tobacco:
-47 million in us. use it.
-438 thousand deaths every year (1 in every 5 deaths)
-More deaths are caused each year by tobacco use than by all deaths from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), illegal drug use, alcohol use, motor vehicle injuries, suicides, and murders combined.
- Deadly Diseases: Lung Cancer, Heart Cancer, Chronic Airway Obstruction, Bronchitis, Emphysema.
-Pluses: Umm...it was the cool thing to do in the 60's
Alcohol
-175.6 million life time users in us
-9.4 million abusers.
- 64,000 deaths from harmful drinking (Accidents, Poisoning)
-Brain Damage,

, Liver Cancer.
-Pluses: euphoria
Marijuana
-163 million worldwide
- Very little deaths from the actual marijuana, 120,000 ER appearances from bad judgement from marijuana.
-Affects memory
- 1 joint may equal 4 cigarettes, but most smokers smoke way more than 4 cigarettes between the time a casual pot smoker smokes 2 joints.
- Causes some similair effects to smoking
Pluses
-Euphoria
-Helps depression, Eye problems
- No recorded death in history.
So..why hasnt the government realized that marijuana is a safer drug then alcohol and tobacco. I hear people say "oh, well less people do alcohol and tobacco, so its better" You know what else less people use that kills more people? Cocaine, Memphanphetamines (spelling sorry), Heroine, all other illegal drugs. Marijuana is the safest out there.
I'm not saying the government should legalize marijuana or illegalize alcohol or tobacco, but i think they need to rethink this. If pot was legal, they can make millions off
