Why Not Legalize

You know I just don't understand why leaglizing weed is such a big deal. So many people do it & are just too afraid to admit it. Does the stupid people in the government not realize how much money they could make off taxes from taxing it? Guess not or they would have done it by now. But hey guess what ALCOHOL is legal. I know people who drink and can honestly say I would rather be around someone who is high than drunk. I mean what is the worst that is gonna happen.....THE MUNCHIES! Oh, shit people watch out now. Like I stated in an earlier post I smoked for almost 20 years, still went to work and did my job well, still drove a car without having an accident, still get my housework done and enjoyed my days much more. But when it comes to alcohol I get stupid, can't drive, can't work, have a huge hangover, sometimes get sick from drinking to much, do and say stupid things and feel like shit the next day! The point is obvious why it should just be legalized.
Guess another point I can think of as to why the fucktard government won't legalize is because they are worried that if they do then it leaves the door open for other illegal drugs to be legalized. Well I find that insane, if they don't wanna legalize those other drugs I am on board cause they cause way more problems than weed ever will. I only did one other drug in my life and that was meth and that lasted for a whole few months. I realized that I just didn't like it and would rather smoke weed. I knew when and where to draw the line, it wasn't that hard, cause I didn't let the drugs run my life. I mean come on using depression as a reason to all these other drugs is just stupid. I have my depression issues but you don't see me turning to alcohol or other harsh drugs, I just wanna smoke my tweeds and be jolly. Is that so bad?
I know there is a risk involved when growing tweeds, especially in a state that it is not legal in, but the risk of getting caught is low if you don't make it obvious by growing tons of plants and don't grow to sell and make a profit. Trust if I had the nerve I would be growing some right now but I know that right now the time is not right in my life, but when it is, I will grow me a couple plants for my own personal use.
Be smart about it and don't try and go overboard.
