The conspiracy behind the legality of cigarettes and marijuana in General Discussion
Nile

    Have you ever wondered why cigarettes is legal in every single country, while the perfect alternative for it (marijuana) is often banned? This will be a break down of my understanding. Cigarettes give you a lightheaded feeling while killing you in the process, it also make you look like shit.(fucked up teeth, lifeless skin colour). Weed makes you high, long term effects: short term memory lost, occasional anxiety. I would take that a million times over slowly dying from lung cancer, and shortened life span.
    Then why is cigarettes legal everywhere on the planet, and weed is not? Would the governments choose die over a small portion of their population being less intelligent? There is my theory, think about those countries that have marijana strictly legal, China, Japan, most of southeast Asia, most of Africa, most of US, Brazil, England, etc. They are overpopulated, highly competitive. Majority of the listed areas are still developing and chaotic(China, SEA, Africa, Brazil), smokers are mostly the “lesser” part of a society, their government wants to kill if that part by refusing to give them a better alternative, also the taxes from tobacco companies is a pretty penny.
    Now, think about the country that legalized weed: Canada, Italy, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Australia. these are civilized, developed, and friendly countries with minimal crime. (marijuana is only allowed for medical use in some of the listed counties, but from my experience in Canada, that is bullshit.)
    It should make sense now, where I’m going with this. It might not be entirely true. I'm glad to hear your opinions.

        Disappointing seriousness in your posts.

        Legality of certain things has to do with legacy/history and perception of the substance.

        Only recently ppl realised ciggies will kill you. But they don't fuck your mind up and intoxicate you. Governments also get shit ton of tax revenue from
        Cigarettes. Eventually taxes will just keep going up so ppl smoke less.

        evy

          Because civilized countries tend to have people who are intelligent enough to know the side effects of weed
          Weed have some positive side effect if used properly, which probably won't be the case if it's widely spread on developing countries

            some states (colorado) also trying to legalize shit like meth, can't wait for the voters there to see pictures of state sponsored meth babies

              Why would anyone want meth legalised

                        cannabis is banned because it would leech too many profits from the tobacco and alcohol industries, obviously. that's like the greatest no-brainer ever.

                        like literally, my country decided to stricten alcohol selling laws and increase tobacco costs, immediately implements jail time for slightest amounts of marijuana.

                          I will only say that you have a very low standard for "civilized".

                                if you think smoking weed everyday doesnt mess up your health you're very naive.

                                I smoked with schoolfriends several times a day for years, half of them are in psychological treatment now.
                                And most of the other half has no job or started doing serious drugs.

                                Smoking weed messes up your brain, but most importantly it stops you from maturing, you get "stuck"

                                wheb all you do is smoke weed and then hang around in your teens, you'll behave like a 16 year old even though you're 20.

                                  well i'm pretty sure that any sort of drug can mess your health up if you do it daily

                                      If you dont know the reason its probably because of the money.

                                        In our school, wearing a long hair is illegal.

                                        Why is it illegal? Does having a long hair promotes violence in school? *insert positive scientifitc blah3x about long hair*

                                        Same with marijuana. Lol marijuana can make a person crazy if its too much. Here in PH, a marijuana addict is very dangerous. Most of them are thieves, hell they even stole their co-marijuana users their marijuana to smoke.

                                        I do agree that cigarrete can slowly kill you though.

                                        Short answer is: whatever the positive effect or marijuana, sorry but it's ILLEGAL. Period.

                                        And the perfect solution? Don't smoke both of them.

                                          weed is god's herb.

                                          if everyone is stoned there will be no violence. thats why its illegal.

                                          compared it to drugs and alcohols, they create violence and kills [accidents caused by drunk driving].

                                          when someone is stoned, he is philosophical and slow.

                                          when someone is drunk, he lacks the ability to think and act with conscience.
