Why the difference in the law? (25)
kitty01: Marijuana is not legal here but in some places they are allowed to have their own plants.
Some places in Europe they have a street where the women hang out of the windows to sell themselves and it is legal, but not here.
Why do you think the law is different in regard to these things. Are they more liberal or just stopped trying to put a stop to it so might as well allow it.

Maybe the people who made the law liked to smoke marijuana. I really like the tea, drawn not boiled, clears my bronchioles.

When I lived in Germany as a kid when my Dad got posted there, on our corner was a lady we got to know as a friend who did this as a job and found nothing wrong with it. Before we moved she had made enough money to buy her own house and a new car.
We did not know what she did for a living when we first met her.

I heard one of the reasons that marijuana is illegal here is because of Dupont. Something to do with them manufacturing hemp?

I thought maybe it had to do with the tobacco people who do not want to lose business if it came legal.

Different laws for different countries and even different states in the US.
California is thinking about legalizing and taxing marijuana, for medicinal purposes, for state revenue.
Many states abolished the death penalty while some did not.
If you murder someone in the US, flee to Canada. Canada will not extradite an American back to the States without confirmation that killer will not be sentenced to death.
If fleeing from robbing a bank, run to Costa Rica. Their auuthories don't verify identification and it's cheap living.

kitty01: Yes I agree with you, it should be left up to the people what they believe they would like. Smoking is bad for you and so is too much alcohol, but it is not made illegal.
Having bad judgment is bad for you, do you see Bush in jail?

Actually tobacco companies right now have the tools ready to go as soon as they legalize Marijuana. It will be legal in some way or form besides for gualcoma patients soon i'm sure.

It only stays illegal because the Prison business gets money from the government for every inmate they have in a cell. and the cops get a kick back for it through state taxes prisons corporations pay.
Let that government money run out and you'll see prison population decline by half ( those who actually need to be in there ( murderers, rapists, thieves...)

That's about the gist of it, friend. Always that money that dictates what they will do next. Pretty predictable if you ask me.

Actually, in Virginia in the 1700's hemp was one of the crops you had to manufacture if you wanted to keep your land! Marijuana is still illegal in the US after having been mostly decriminalized by the 1970's for two reasons: It supplies lots and lots of revenue by seizure and forfeiture to local cop shops, and the pharmaceutical and chemical companies lobby fiercely against it.
If you bust someone for pot in their car, you can get their car. If you bust them in their house you can get their house.. If there's money in their house, that's yours too. If there's money in their bank accounts, you don't necessarily have to prove that it came from a drug deal...it's yours. If that evil drug dealer proves their innocence in court, too bad for them. And you can always get them under state and/or federal law and send them through it all over again.
Despite all the anecdotal evidence, you are never going to get a chemical or pharmaceutical company to test the effectiveness of pot on migraines, nausea, chronic pain or any of it's other medicinal uses. Why? Because pot is already produced in the US by any number of individuals who make money off of it. The Midwest has replaced California as the largest pot producing area of the country. (All those unemployed corn farmers had to live somehow!) Pot is (with corn) the number 1 or 2 agrarian crop in this country, the #1 cash crop. It has to be grown organically (without pesticides) because people smoke the buds. And get this: it is a weed in the Midwest. It is not a cultivated plant. It grows on the roadside. So no chemical or pharmaceutical company could make any money off of the patent and no marijuana grower in their right mind would sell the secrets to their sinsemilla or Hindu Kush to a pharmaceutical company.
So the people who need pot buy it from the people who grow it, not from a corporation. This can not be! It's not the free market American way, so let's keep it illegal.
By the way, I don't have a horse in this race. I don't drink. I don't smoke pot or take any other drugs. I'm just sick of the United Corporate Empire of America.
