Reason #1 why it isnt legal...... the Liquor and Tobacco Lobbies stand to lose massive bucks. What the tobacco industry needs to do is start pushing for legalization, then convert tobacco farms into weed farms.. Of course that means taxation on weed, but also revenue that can be utilized , as opposed to no taxes being realized because the dealers don't pay taxes. Weed legalized would become the drug of choice, making alcohol the #2 choice, worth more as an alternative fuel source. Just my Utopian dream......
