Why is marijuana use illegal when cigarette use/tobacco is legal?Just look at the facts:
-Nicotine (spelling?) is more addictive than any other drug
- around 5.4 million people a year die from smoking or smoking-related causes
-a single cigarette contains over 4,000 chemicals, including:
1) Nicotine: a deadly poison
2) Arsenic: used in rat poison
3) Methane: a component of rocket fuel
4) Ammonia: found in floor cleaner
5) Cadmium: used in batteries
6) Carbon Monoxide: part of car exhaust
7) Formaldehyde: used to preserve body tissue
8) Butane: lighter fluid
9) Hydrogen Cyanide: the poison used in gas chambers
-smoking is the only drug i can think of that physically harms those around you (second-hand smoke)
and not that I'm encouraging using weed, but:
-NO ONE has ever died from smoking pot
so tell me why nicotine is legal. no bullshit answers please. why ban marijuana and alcohol at one point if we're gonna keep tobacco around?
the reason im asking is I hate smoking either way, I think it's disgusting, but I wanna know is why legalize the gun while outlawing the wooden sword? (like my metaphor?)

Society still has hang ups about pot. Eventually, just like promiscuity, it will become the norm, but until then, it will be looked down upon.

Nobody ever died from Marijuana is a weak argument...nobody knows.
But if we are to be objective, inhaling smoke/tar in any amount and of any substance probably isn't good for you.
To compare legality to cigs is a moot point as well b/c cigs don't alter your senses like smoking chron will -- at least in a comparative capacity.
The fact is, the 3% of people who want to glorify their "enlightened" state by going out in society and causing trouble ruin it for the rest of the smokers.
I have no problem with people who smoke...just don't cause probs...that's my main concern.

They should ban all 3 of them. Good riddance. Everytime me and my girl get around alcohol, it messes things up. My brother died from a car crash when he had too much to drink. And I'm sick and tired of hacking because my dad smokes cigarettes and occasionally pot, WHICH DOES make me feel like sh*t too.
So I say ban all 3 of them, and good f*cking riddance! I don't ever wanna see any of them again in my life. I'd cut off my right arm if I could have my brother back and have those 3 banned from the US forever

Nicotine is legal because it's addictive and makes money. The only real reason pots illegal is because it's easy to grow and the government can't tax that. It's hard to make a proper cigaret but not a proper joint.
