Because it can be grown right in ur backyard with minimal effort, it would be very hard to impose a tax on it. If it had to be refined, processed or manufactured then it would be legal. That would make it easier to tax. As of now, it is taxed on the honor system. Meaning you are only taxed on what you report you have sold. I can't believe that there are still people out there that speak down upon weed but have no problem with our kids being exposed to cigarettes and alcohol. Both have been proven to be more addictive than weed (cigarettes being the most addictive, only falling second to heroin). Cigarettes and alcohol have no proven medical uses, yet it is still legal to consume them. Isn't it odd that the Federal Government has classified marijuana as a schedule 1 narcotic, and allows cigarettes, which cause a significant amount of fatalities a year and is the second most addictive drug. From a chemical dependency level, cigarettes are right under heroin, but marijuana is classified as just as illegal as heroin. People wake up, its all about money. At the end of the day, it is our lives and nobody should be policing what we do to ourselves. Doesn't that violate our constitutional rights? If I shoot and kill someone, that is illegal. But if I shoot my self, there is nothing illegal about that right? Stupid, but not illegal. The same should apply with drugs. Maybe if we spent more time and money on rehabilitation and not prosecution, we would be getting somewhere. See the problem is, weed can’t be regulated by the government.

A world were one really does have right to pursue happiness as they see fit. Even if it is sitting at home smoking from a glass pipe.
