Why is pot illegal?

Well, my friends I know you've heard this question a million times and I'm sure you've heard all of the typical responses but instead I'll give you the real answer. You see, the illegality of pot isn't attributed to negative effects, it's not attributed to death or efftects. Instead it is attributed to circumstance. "How so," you ask? Well that's what I'm hear to explain. Though be warned, this is more of a history lesson than anything else.

You see, in the early 1900s, prohibition came along and blocked out the usage of drugs including alchohol. But, before l0ng people started going through illegal processes getting alchohol. At this specific point in time alchohol was the most popular drug available on the market. Not being able to combat the drug, the government made alchohol legal. They made the secong least harmless drug legal., because the least harmless wasn't popular. That my friends is why pot is illegal. As for why it's illegal until today. That's because the majority of people up until now were traditionalist and don'tlook beyong what they "know." This, however is subject today. Recent polls show that more than 50% of the U.S. population are pro legalisation, which means that it'll be legal in Canada too. Once Pot is leagel in such a large area of the world and people see that it is safe, it'll become legal every where else.
