banned for dope is most likely worse then either of the other two.

Lowers testosterone levels. Not good IMHO. Means more girly boys

banned for not know enough about drugs to truly fear them

but yes, beyond incredibly stupid

Though some would point out that the lowering of testosterone levels might be good for society. Less aggressive people means less violence. Theoretically anyway.

banned for assuming I was promoting pacifism

I love peace and appreciate it, but sometimes you need to stop someone with hard cold violence (ex. Hitler)

Banned because I don't give a damn about your testosterone levels. If you want to ban drugs, by all means do so, but don't permit tobacco and then ban marijuana.

Banned for agreed with scoutdog.

But people who feel this way will always be in the minority.

By the way morph people have to be kinda dumb to smoke tobacco too since it says on the packet it can kill you

Banned for monkey talk

Banned because I can't think of a ban right now.

Oh, wait.......

Banned because nicotine would be illegal if I discovered it a week ago. However, it's been in "successful" cultures (ie the cultures that have spread across the world more than others, and have in many cases tried to override them) since a long time ago.

banned for wanting profit

Which goes to show the level of intelligence the government has had for about 10 years.

banned for it is about what I have come to expect now days

white, black, republican, democrat = stupid

banned because ultimately our world is a haven of sin,sin,and more sin.

did you know that a while ago scientists were on the edge of discovering a cure for cancer using what God has given us, vitamins. the government slammed it down and cut the research, there is no money in curing a disease, only TREATING it.

i agree with scoutdog, if your going to ban a drug, ban all of them.

Banning you for double-posting.

That cure-for-cancer-using-vitamins thing sounds fishy. I'm not saying it couldn't work, but a LOT of the properties vitamin sellers apply to "supplements" and vitamins are bogus. They do have health benefits, but the stuff about actually curing diseases is (usually) false.

I suspect there may also be a number of social/political factors contributing to the disproportionate dislike of marijuana as opposed to tobacco, in addition to profit (after all, Big Marijuana would at first glance seem just as easy to make money off of as Big Tobacco):

1. Marijuana was introduced to the Western world long after tobacco. Anything new is going to seem scarier to people than something old, even if the old thing is in fact more dangerous.
2. In America at least, marijuana is popular among young, urban demographics, while cigarettes are usually more popular among suburban and rural groups, specifically the ones who are somewhat older. The young, urban people tend to vote Democratic, while the older, more rural people tend to vote Republican. The Republican party (for those of you who have been living under a rock, they're the more conservative one) supports stronger drug laws in general, but more so for marijuana and less so for cigarettes. They don't want to tick off a portion of their voting bloc, and so they put the laws on the other party's main supporters.
3. The psychological effects of marijuana are more immediately apparent, even though chemical addiction is impossible and the long-term health effects aren't quite as severe. If somebody's stoned, you know it.
