This will be a pretty relevant post on this topic Im sure..

There are two main reasons that marijuana has been so persecuted in my opinion. I Have read enough articles and seen enough documentaries on both sides of the fence to draw my own educated opinion on it..

BTW... I am not a smoker, but I advocate the legal status of it.

1. Terrorism and Drug Cartels
The administrations may say its a drug that hurts people, they may say its harmful to you, they may say all these other bad things about marijuana, but the fact of the matter is they are currently trying to fight so hard against marijuana because of the amount of illegal aliens that come into the country to create mountain plantations. In California a great majority of the grows that have been happening on a large scale have been Mexican drug cartel organized, they bring illegals into the picture to watch the spots and to tend to the plants. The drugs are sold in the US and the money is sent back into Mexico.. This funds the cartels further and helps them grow.. In recent years even in Oregon they've been finding camps set up by illegal aliens because much like California we have a very good climate for growing marijuana and the state has been very relaxed on the plant (in fact it was the first state in the union to decriminalize it).

The Mexican Cartels and El Salvadorian gangs have been growing exponentially due to the legal status of marijuana in California and 13 other states. It is virtually a license to print money for them. Many of the cartels have been profiting more on the sale of marijuana than cocaine in the last 10 years...

Mexican Brick weed is very easy to get in high quantities and there are stash houses of it all over the place.. You can place your order and its delivered in days to you.. It's super cheap and it can be ordered in very large quantities.. It's a low quality product, but it still sells itself..

Even back in the day when Refer Madness came out it was a problem that they attributed to the Mexicans, bringing their wacky weed into the country and corrupting our youth. (BTW, funny but rediculous movie)

Barack Obama sent letters to 14 states telling their local DEA offices to not go after medical growers, as long as they were not connected to organized crime or money laundering, this helps prove my point even more.

2. Corporate Profit Threat
Industrial hemp, contains almost no tetra hydro cannibinols(THC). Hemp can be used to produce fuel, fabric, paper and even furniture. The cannabis plant is one of the most versatile plants in the world.

During the early years of prohibition many of the oil companies secretly lobbied to have this so called drug banned, They had no drive to make it illegal to help humanity, they only want to protect their profits and monopoly on the market.

Big business owners such as oil and pharmaceutical companies fear hemp because it could out compete products in many industries. Marijuana, the psychoactive form of hemp, is truly a medicine that has been mislabeled a drug. Not one death can be attributed to marijuana, this is can not be said by many over the counter drugs such as asprin.

Even Henry Ford saw the potential in this plant. He designed his cars to run on hemp-seed oil, and even had a model built primarily from hemp, but alas the oil companies won their war and have had their product dominate the market for far too long.

In the United States there is more money spent on the eradication of marijuana than any other drug (I'd guess about 75% of the funds).. This includes fighting against the sale and manufacturing of: Heroin, Cocaine, Methamphetamine, and other drugs like Ecstacy.

There is plenty of things I can touch on in support of this plant, there are also plenty of negatives. I don't agree everyone should smoke weed, and I believe that you should be of legal age to posses and smoke it.

I've seen first hand the medical benefits in my own family and in my close friends who use the drug not for pleasure but to help them. Cancer, Fibromyalgia , Anxiety, and more, and the results have been nothing short of amazing.
