They won't legalize growing it because they won't get their tax dollars. That's why. The government is always in it for the money and not in it for the well being of the people. What else is new?
However, one good argument against legalizing growing it would be the huge increase of illegal use by underage teens. We all know this would happen, and ignoring that fact would be a bad mistake IMO.
I don't think legalizing weed at all is in the best interest of creating a better society anyways.
My brother lived in Amsterdam for two years. He saw legalized weed, and he thought it was pretty ridiculous seeing a 12 year old kid blazing out in public without anyone giving a damn.
Worse, he saw an 8 year old drunk and sipping booze and nobody cared about that either. Wow, society in America would be so great if that happened here! Anything and everything should be legal because we have a right to choose. Not.
Some laws are there because society would take a shit and it's better that they aren't legal IMO.
