With today being 4/20 can we have a serious debate on why it's not legal to smoke weed in the United States in 2016?

BWahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha
Initially it was due to cannabis being a threat to various industries, so big business had the government ban it.
That's still sort of the case but now it's the alcohol and especially pharmaceutical companies that want it to remain illegal. And then of course you have the fact that marijuana prosecution makes up a huge part of the drug war, which militarizes police and puts a lot of people in prison which keeps the state fat.

Even if it was legal I'd still choose alcohol over pot.

Many would. But few would choose happy pills over pot.

>serious debate on why it's not legal to smoke weed in the United States in 2016?
Because no Federal legislature prior to 2016 has voted to make it legal.
What's there to debate?
>>71500797
>non addictive
To an extent.
>anti-depressant
As long as you don't overuse it.
>cures cancer
Not even close.
>zero deaths in history
Probably not true.
>Saves police and NHS billions
Sure.
>no OD
*very difficult to OD
>grows brain cells
Lol wut.
That being said I do think we should legalize it.

I have nothing against pot. In the past when a friend would occasionally offer some I'd smoke a bit but I couldn't afford to have it in my system because companies are still strict about it.
Because potheads are annoying as fuck.

>non-addictive
literally just false, and any current or ex stoner will tell you this
>>71500797
I support the legalisation of weed but your "facts" are bs
>>71500930

I would disagree that the alcohol industry would want pot to remain illegal, I don't think many people would smoke pot rather than drink, it'd probably be a combination.
I'm not positive about that fact, but I do know that cigarette smoking positively correlates to drinking beer and liquor.
>and puts a lot of people in prison which keeps the state fat.
And many people in both parties are becoming increasingly in favor of criminal justice reform, including leading Republicans such as Paul Ryan and the Koch brothers. I would expect sweeping criminal justice reform to be passed within a year or two.

Is that why there are active websites for weed addiction?
I quit smoking weed after smoking daily in January and I've been so fucking depressed. It really sucks. I don't want to start again because it was so hard to quit but it sucks because I guess it was the only thing making me normal and happy.
>>71500797
Ban both.
>>71502786
bruv, if you're smoking weed every day you probably aren't very happy to begin with.
Weed facts are not true
Fuck off weedman

It's seriously one of the best feels in existence.

No because 4/20 is Hitler's birthday and you should kill yourself if you think your stupid little hippie holiday deserves to be talked about on our most holy of days
>>71500797
umm... they are both depressants and both can destroy brain cells if used above moderation
