Why shouldn't you be able to grow it if you want to?

Meanwhile, the legal version gets taxed to the hilt.
Thus guaranteeing that people will grow their own and deal it like they do currently. Brilliant. Sin taxes are for prudes and people for whom "healthy" is their religion.

The people who smoke cigarettes are miles more intelligent, and they still pay through the nose, so this lot'll be easier to extort money from.
Cigarettes don't really do anything besides make you wobbly unless you are addicted and they're quite unhealthy. Marijuana gets you high and his minor health effects.

Oh, and people have to sign something or other to say they are users - perfectly legally, but I'd still not employ them - I've seen just how feckless, useless and mind-numbingly tedious to be around.
Textbook example of prejudice...

Although somebody supports legalization, if anyone wonders why most people don't support it it's because of this kind of ignorance and prejudice.
