Alcohol is a hard drug and weed is a soft drug. I guess you never got drunk if you don't consider it a drug. It's a dangerous one as well and a lot of people are addicted to alcohol. Don't believe me? Go to an AA meeting. A lot more people are addicted to alcohol then people that are addicted to weed. The only difference with alcohol is that it's legal, but it's more dangerous then weed. Why is weed illegal? Bullshit law... And most people could only drink beer in the middle ages because water was polluted back then. Hence why it's not illegal.

IIRC, Weed is illegal because in the 1930's, the Paper, cotton, and Tobacco industries all lobbied washington to make it illegal, as hemp was tough, easy to grow, and posed a danger of overtaking all three industries.
Yeah, capitalist country my ass.

that is correct.
Growing hemp was actually encouraged before that.
many things were made from it, from clothes to rope, parachutes and National flags, including that of the US.
I blame DuPont most of all though.
