There is absolutely, positively, no reason whatsoever that cannabis should be illegal. But the hate and fear mongers love to abuse it for political and social gain. The level of unfairness to those of us who use cannabis responsibly is horrible, oppressive, unconstitutional, and a violation of our human rights. The hypocrisy that the government and anti-drug groups base their approach on is disgusting and anyone in this country should be appalled by it and express their dissatisfaction with the US government - and demand full legalization, taxation and regulation. One can find dozens, if not hundreds, of excellent reasons cannabis should be freely available to adults in the USA and elsewhere. And if those who still believe that prohibition works would just take a moment to look at the truth, rather than pro-criminalization propaganda, their attitudes would likely shift as well.
