Why Isn't Weed Legalized Nationwide?

"Why isn't weed legalized nation wide?" is a question I ask myself a lot. Is it because it is dangerous? Is it because it transforms otherwise nice people into criminals and the monsters they say are always  lurking in the dark? Is it because addiction is a serious problem? Or that it kills brain cells making us pot smokers apparently turn into bumbling imbeciles who can't think for shit? No. The reason is control. If people can smoke weed than they can make choices about their own bodies.
When looking further into it they were trying to control chicanos and blacks. Big business had everything to gain by the criminalization of weed. Hemp was bad for business for the cotton and paper industries. Control of people and resources was the goal.
To deny a person autonomy over their own body denies their individuality. This is the goal of the corporate power structure. They want power they keep it.
They can line their pockets with these private contracts for prisons. So each person sentenced over possession of a plant that is most common in communities of color and economically underprivileged. Control. Countless products that would cut into business interest. Control. Telling you that you can't put that substance in your body. Control.
That is why weed isn't legalized. Control. Period.
