My question is: You now know the facts, so tell me, why hasnt the government taken the time to find out tobacco and drinking kills more people. Most people say "Oh, but more people use it". You know wat else less people use that kills a lot more? Crack, Heroine, Memphamthetamines (sorry spelling) any other illegal drug you can think of. So why havent they banned tobacco and drinking, more dangerous than marijuana, which is banned.

Answers:
actually, marijuana is a narcotic substance. using a narcotic substance is addictive. Marijuana also causes brain deterioration. And marijuana doesnt help depression since it is a depressant or there is no proof that is helps certain eye problems.
the main reason why marijuana is not legal is that it mainly affects the Nervous system in such a short time and it causes hallucinations delusions illusions and the use of it will be harmful to you and you may cause harm to others as well.
