I believe that weed should be banned, also under the same statutes I think Alcohol and tobacco should be banned.

The prohibition of alcohol increased organized crime to the U.S.Originally Posted by BanginJimmy
Before alcohol was legal, the illegal money was all profited by mobs.. Mobs got richer, more powerful, and crime increased.. Now that it is taxed, the government profits from it and crime is decreased..
"Crime" not because of violence directly caused by alcohol (because whether it is legal or not, people are still going to drink it and maybe become violent), but the indirect result of it..
Making the alcohol illegal has more negative effect than good, because people are still going to drink no matter what..
Not only does the government not make potential money off alcohol/marijuana, it costs them a fortune to enforce!! All this at what cost? Moral good? No. Societal good? No. I see no advantage of making a euphoric herb illegal..
