In 2013, according to Gallup, more Americans supported legalization than those who opposed it. Just 14 years earlier, those who opposed it had over a 2-to-1 advantage. A 2014 Pew Research poll found that 54% of Americans supported making marijuana legal.

So what is stopping them from doing so, they have a democratic society do they not. 54 % should be enough to get things changed, right.

FFS leave the supply chain alone. There is no need for control in an industry that's been controlling itself for millennia and if all else fails, you'll have taken a large chunk out of the unemployment figures, reduced criminality thereby saving the tax payer $ owed to there being less criminality (100K per prisoner?), a new tax revenue stream etc... ban "big" anything getting near the industry.

"Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should. " springs to mind.

If the US Drug Enforcement Administration won't reschedule cannabis because they believe it has no medicinal value, why does the US government hold a patent on it?

I'm all for legalising weed but i wish advocates would stop bringing up the new tax revenue stream it really grinds my gears. The last thing we want is to hand over more money to grubby little fuckwits in Wellington.

Yes, better to hand it all over to dangerous criminal organisations
