People can say what they want about Marijuana but this is the exact reason it was scheduled in the USA

Mexico was making a lot more money on Marijuana in the early 20s and thirties so the USA made it illegal. Then used Propaganda to support wrong claims.

Marijuana was criminalized in the early 20th century, primarily due to misinformation and fear-mongering campaigns that portrayed it as a dangerous substance. The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 prohibited its use and cultivation, classifying it as a narcotic drug without a valid medical use. Later, the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 classified marijuana as a Schedule I drug, further solidifying its illegal status in the United States.

Why is weed not legal but cigaretts are?

Because marijuana is a relative of the 'hemp' family. Hemp was illegalized way beck in the day because it would smash the paper, clothing..etc companies. An anti-marijuana campaign in the 50s-60s spread alot of lies about it to get it illegalized. Nowadays my oppinion is that they wouldn't make as much money if they legalized it. Sure we spend millions to bust stupid stoners but the government/cia make more than double that on the black market selling the stuff. Cigarettes are legal in my oppinion because they are used by the eliete powers as a "slow death" tool. Think about it, nicotine is the 3rd ingredient in smokes, they have us hooked to smoking carbon monoxode. They also add chemicals to cigarettes to make some infertile.

On the other hand with marijuana yes is does disorientate you somewhat, your motor functions are well and there is no possibility of death if you smoke too much marijuana.
