Well they actually are putting Floride in drinking water in between 60-80% of the US (slightly less in Canada). I just doesn't do what conspiracy nuts think it does, or much of anything actually.
The issue with the Prozac stuff is that the research stated anti-depressants can cause an increase in suicidal thoughts in people <25 years old. Well that's super but having a suicidal thought doesn't translate to actually killing yourself.
Additionally, the government isn't on some massive "Keep weed illegal" campaign to prop up drug companies. If they de-criminalized weed tomorrow, who do you think would stand to gain? My guess would be the guys with billion dollar labs and distribution networks. We'd have weed so strong it would melt your eyes.
Weed is illegal because the majority of people (70% I think) don't smoke it and a large number of those think it's evil. For the first time in modern US history we're right at 50-50 in favor of legalizing weed.
Cliffs: It's not a government conspiracy, people are just stupid.
