NOW, as for the other topic that has been brought up...legalizing the usage of marijuana has been a debated topic since the 1960s. Until our government can figure out a money-making way to legalize the usage, it will continue to be deemed illegal for the majority of our populace.
And all the naysayers can gloat that they were right...that no matter what medicinal properties it has are irrelevant. And anyone who has experienced the medicinal properties (because of cancer, glaucoma, muscle spasms/tremors, etc.) will eventually get tired of the naysayers and continue their usuage -- often in fear of being caught and sentenced for using something that may very well be saving their lives.
Yet another situation that our government thinks they are handling so damn well...

The fact that many people do not realize is that it would be nearly impossible to tax marijuana. Marijuana is a weed and weeds will grow in spite of you. I have actually seen where someone has thrown a seed out their window and within a couple of months, they had a plant growing in their front yard and didn't even know it.
Whether grown outdoors or indoors, marijuana is here to stay. The only possible way that the government would be able to tax marijuana if they treated it the way they treat alcohol, legal to buy, illegal to make. For someone who uses marijuana all day everyday, that is simply not an option.
