Then as everyone knows it was made illegal by a racist that said cannabis makes immigrants play satanic music and make white woman sleep with blacks.

then re legalized to produce hemp for war.

Now illegal again so certain people can get rich of big Pharma.

I want it to be legal for all reasons, rec and med use, the use of hemp, going green in all means of the word, if it was legal to grow and sell our economy would thrive, mexican cartel would be out of business...whens the last time you heard of someone selling tobacco on the streets, you dont, b/c the gov is in control and has a good(so to speak) system.

and as i have been trying to explain from the beginning of this thread is in this day and time, with everything we know, its unreasonable for it to be illegal.

one last point.....

I've smoked/smoke weed, yes, no surprise there, but thats it, i rarely drink now (did a lot in my teens) and i dont understand how anyone smokes or snorts something that has to be "cooked" over a stove, and has baking soda and who knows what else in it. (i didnt like the "and i bet she started by smoking pot" comment in that crackhead thread.)

You cant argue the fact its natural, and has grown on earth since the beginning of time, it is a seed bearing plant.

i dont know if you are religious but...

Genisis 1:29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.

You cant invent a seed.

and yes, hemp seeds and hemp can be made into food. but im sure you get my point.
Last I checked, making it illegal took a legislative bill from Congress (Controlled Substances Act of 1970). The other federal prohibition was in 1937, but records as to the testimonies are not as clear on that one. There are lots of conspiracy theories - you can find them on druglibrary.org if you want.

I agree that hemp has many legitimate uses outside of recreational use.

Now, go sell your viewpoint to your local congressman. Have you ever engaged him in any manner on this issue?
