I don't care why marijuana was banned in the 30s. It should have been banned long before that, except for medical use.

George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew marijuana for medicinal purposes, which I support. George Washington did not sit around the fire with his command staff at the Battle of Yorktown to smoke a J and play X Box. Thomas Jefferson did not smoke a doobie to get inspiration to write the United States Constitution.
For every one successful marijuana user you can point to, I can point to a thousand more who are hopeless pieces of shit with no future and no ambition. Does marijuana use lead to a status as a piece of shit, or does a status as a piece of shit lead to marijuana use? Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Fuck if I know, but that's what I see.
How many times did you endanger the public by driving while high? How many harder drugs did you indulge in as a result of your marijuana experience? I hope you weren't in a position to care for the lives of others.
Would you rather fly on a plane piloted by a marijuana user or a non-marijuana user?

my how you leap to conclusions so quickly. No one said that.... you said that all smokers of pot are lazy. See how broad stroked generalizations work?
I NEVER drove high once. Never drove drunk either. So how many did I endanger? ZERO.
In fact, I moved to a city where I could stand on the street and wave my hand an a yellow vehicle stops and picks me up and whisks me home, safe and sound. I can't speak for the driver, he's usually an Arab, so maybe he's a terrorist, you know the kind that blew up the WTC and Pentagon.... Oooh scary!!!!
Yeah, I figured you say that about the founding fathers, take some time to read about them. Learn your history. Jefferson was a slave owner too you know.... oooooh bad man!!!!!
Learn about Lincolnd, it is written that he had a medical condition and he enjoyed smoking indian hemp.

Whether George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew marijuana for medicinal use or industrial use as hemp or as a soil stabilizer, they did not grow marijuana for recreational drug abuse.
I doubt that anyone making claims about Washington's or Jefferson's marijuana farming practices wants to grow marijuana for industrial use as hemp or as a soil stabilizer.

also, note that the law required that all land owners to grow hemp plants, X amount of plants per acre of land.
Take note during that time, land owners were the only people allowed to vote.
Gosh Golly!!!! Stoned voters!!!!
