Yeah, there's a great idea... execute people for selling weed.
Number of people who die from alcohol poisoning: 1,400
Number of people who die from THC overdose: 0
Number of people who die from alcoholism: 40,000
Number of people who die from marijuana addiction: 0
DUI deaths per year: 16,000
Marijuana driving deaths per year: 23
Yet alcohol is legal and marijuana is illegal.
You have got to understand. Its about the money. The fedgov goes after stills because they take money out of the pocket of Uncle Sam. He don't like that.
Because of the complicated nature of puttin together a brew and then separating it, its easy for the fedgov to regulate.
Now pot growin on the other hand, the fedgov hasn't figured out a good way to corner that market. Any fool can grow a plant.
So Shazaam, just make it illegal till we get this revenue thingie straight.
And that folks, is the bottom line.
