They have to destroy that weed to keep the price high for all the other cartels that paid their "taxes". Like when they used to dump milk in the US to keep the price high.

I disagree, even tho i no longer smoke weed and haven't since i was a kid. Weed isn't an issue in the world, it's man made drugs like meths, LSD, and all that. The only reason weed is illegal is because the government hasn't found a way around taxing it yet. Weed doesn't kill someone nor does it make them stupid. If a person abuses it then yes it can have temporary effects, but hell people abuse the use of aspirin and you don't see the government making it illegal.

 

Not trying to be a smartass but I thought i'de share the odd reason why this is wrong, its actually the opposite. Weed is illegal in America because in order to legally posses weed, you need a tax stamp. In order to get a tax stamp you need to have your weed properly inspected by the government. Problem is, its always illegal because in the process of getting a tax stamp, your weed doesnt have a tax stamp yet, making it illegal to posses. Its and odd law, but theres a reason for it and the governemnt did the same thing to enforce the banning of fully automatic weapons. (in the 30s i think?)

 

Ohurcool, of course smoking weed can give you lung cancer, smoking anything for too long can give you lung cancer. There are many other ways to ingest weed however, like eating it.

 

Burning all that weed will have the same effect that smashing barrels of alchohol in the 20s had on prohibition.
