Not legal everywhere unfortunately. Alcohol is because it must be "safer" right? RIght?

Most drugs were scheduled to incriminate the lower income groups (i.e. mostly not white folks) They tried to ban alcohol once too. It didn't go very well. Marijuana is less addictive and far less destructive, plus anyone can grow it, it's like a fucking weed. Also, hops and Mary Jane are from the same family of plants.
