Inquiry by Buzzy: Do the huge distillers & brewers help maintain pot illegal in the USA?
I saw that Willie Nelson was busted for smoking pot (yet again). I do not care if it really is “the law”…in my opinion, it really is a stupid law. Is here any evidence to support my suspicion that the huge spirits distillers and brewers pay lobbyists to help save marijuana from competing with their intoxicating items? And for that matter, what about Generous Tobacco?
Very best answer:
Answer by Proud member of the celebration of NO!
I skepticism that Marijuana would compete with alcohol if it was officially recognized. I don’t even reckon it would make a dent in their profit margin
Know far better? Leave your own answer in the comments!
Really, not so much. Huge Alcohol and Huge Tobacco seem to support marijuana legalization as it reduces the stigma that self-intoxication for recreation purposes is terrible. Huge Tobacco even has diplomacy to produce and profit from officially recognized marijuana. I judge the largest opponents to marijuana legalization is Huge Pharma. They won’t be able to advertise nearly so loads of mood-modifying drugs, like Zoloft and Prozac, if Americans could self-medicate that easily.
Unfortunately we allocate contributions to remain anonymous in this scenario, you bet your underneath dollar they don’t tell their identity when making a “contribution” aka buy off.
Answer 4 – you’re a joke.
“conspiracy theories”, how about the whole fact that’s illegal is the conspiracy theory for you. The man who should be in prison, but was pardoned, this was his thought.
Oh lord, you whacked out potheads and your conspiracy theories.
The huge distillers and brewers doubtless have approximately participation into the issue but the huge deadlock is from politicians.
Pot is so simple to grow that they have no way of conniving it and without control, they have no way to tax it.
So, they through it illegal.
If you don’t like that join NORML
Enter your congressman
Enter your senator
demand that either this unfair law be repealed or that all alcoholic beverages and all tobacco products be through illegal with the same penalties as those attached to marijuana.
I don’t judge it is a “conspiracy” by the alcohol industry, or the tobacco industry. For one, most of the pot smokers I know also smoke cigarettes. And two, (this was a long time ago when I did this), have you ever smoked pot in a bong filled with Jack Daniels? i don’t know why they would want it banned it it opens another promote to them.
