As a smoker of tobacco the whole make weed legal thing really piss’s me off...
In the UK a pack of 20 costs from £8-12 per pack, I’ve managed to get my cost down to £40 per week for 5 packs, in some states the same pack would cost $5/£3.69....
This is due to tax for being a smoker, in 2015 smokers cost the NHS £2.6 billion estimated, the total amount of tax earned from 2015 just on the sales tax alone was £12 billion. Profit of 9.4 billion......
And to add injury to insult

Yep.... so if I got hit by a bus, I’m left to die because I smoke, nevermind the fact you profited off my habit.
If they do lift the archaic laws on weed smoking, I hope they also get the same shit treatment from our wonderful government and get taxed to high heaven.
/Sorry for the rant.

That’s probably the most sane argument I’ve heard for keeping it illegal...most people go on about how it’s bad for you and the dangers of doing it while completely ignoring that alcohol is probably worse than weed in most measurable ways. I don’t smoke, but have friends that do. I don’t care one way or the other if it’s illegal or not, I’m just always curious about why people think one way or the other though. Also, it’s almost impossible to get a contact high just from being around it if that has you worried at all.

Its the hypocrisy of it all that gets me. They just stop short of making cigarettes illegal, but weed is just ok. Nevermind they serve an identical purpose through identical means.
