Why exactly is marijuana illegal? Other than the fact that a law was passed, what about the drug, when compared to prescription meds, alcohol, and tobacco makes it so much worse?

Don't give me the gateway BS. Studies have disproven that. There are no studies that show that marijuana has any ill effects on the human body.

However, the blood pressure pills, anxiety meds and other drugs are much harder on your body or have more addictive qualities than pot. Hell, SSRI's which are given out like candy on halloween can cause severe side effects. Tylenol and Ibuprofen are harder on your body than marijuana.

The same can not be said about Cocaine, heroin, and other "hard" street drugs when it comes to the ill effects on the human body, let alone their addictive nature.
