Why does the government not legalize marijuana?

Answer 1

Because it is illegal, there is no way to monitor and/or tax it. However, if it was legal then it would have the sin tax added to it like alcohol, cigarettes, and other fun but "sinful" things that the government allows us to enjoy at inflated tax prices.

Answer 2

It was originally made illegal through governmental Propaganda that basically scared the general population who had never themselves experienced it's full effects into thinking it causes people to kill each other. During the 70's President Nixon declared a war on drugs, and during that time possession of marijuana was about as bad as a parking ticket.

The government now is moving slowly towards legalization, but it is in no way an overnight proses. The Federal Government has already lost jurisdiction and now it's a matter of states rights, California is pressing to be the first state to legalize marijuana for recreational purposes and in several other states it is used for medicinal purposes.

Answer 3

There are numerous studies that show smoking marijuana even in low doses impairs coordination and affects the way the mind works. This is one of the many researched negative outcomes of marijuana smoke. These studies led the US Legislative community to deem marijuana a Schedule I drug under the controlled Substance Act. According to this Act, Schedule I substances have a high potential for abuse and serve no medical purpose. This is based on the fact that there is little or no research-based evidence that shows that smoking marijuana has a measurable positive medical effect.
