the entire fuckin thing targeted marijuana growers not users fool.

honestly just once i'd like you to know wtf you were even talking about.

you honestly just spent 5 minutes looking that up? fail again

At least you're seeking knowledge this time...

The popular and therapeutic uses of hemp preparations are not categorically prohibited by the provisions of the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937. The apparent purpose of the Act is to levy a token tax of approximately one dollar on all buyers, sellers, importers, growers, physicians, veterinarians, and any other persons who deal in marijuana commercially, prescribe it professionally, or possess it.

Lol @ Your Fail

Try using a source other then wikipedia next time

you can grow it without possessing it now? thats fuckin amazing. look at the entire sentence and understand how the word possession fits.


also i'm still not seeing the words "made marijuana illegal".

..Jesus Christ if you really think prior to 1970 there were no arrests for the possession of marijuana then you are a lot dumber (if this is even possible) then i originally thought.

Again you are failing to comprehend what the word "essentially" means

Edit: In fact the first ever arrest for Marijuana possession was on the very same day the Marijuana Tax Act was passed

Edit #2: And just to further point out how terrible your comprehension skills are, it says that it made the buying of weed illegal, How can you possess weed with out growing it or buying it?

lets see...yours is a tax

mine is a straight up making marijuana illegal in all 50 states under federal law

wonder which one of us is right about which one of these made marijuana illegal.


also when did i say no one was ever arrested for possession prior to 1970? those arrest and conviction also were for not paying the tax on marijuana not for just having it.

jesus christ it made NOT PAYING TAXES ON MARIJUANA ILLEGAL not marijuana itself.

Again......

There i spelt it out for you, now sound out the big words, we can work through this


Now if those people didn't have marijuana they wouldn't have to pay the tax that got them arrested would they? So it sounds like to me the 1937 tax act ********ESSENTIALLY******** (This word is important in case you couldn't comprehend that) made it illegal

they could have it all they wanted if they could pay the tax.

they couldn't however and thats why they were arrested and convicted.

Which is why it was *gasp* made essentially illegal in 1937, thus concluding this lesson. Was gz, now run along

looked ez
