http://www.hemphousemaui.com/whatishemp.html is a web page containing facts about the production of hemp as a valuable resource capable of producing more products than any other plant. Hemp was banned not because of it's effect as a drug but because it was more useful and therefore would put tree harvesting for the use of paper completely out of business. Not only that, as stated in the web page above, hemp paper can hold it's quality for centuries where tree paper yellows after a few decades. I can see how this might be harmful to the government. However hemp paper can be recycled 7 to 10 times as compared to tree paper which can only be recycled about 3 to 4 times.
Pot funds terror, buys guns to kill police officers, babies, rival gangs, and someone's best friend's hair dresser's 3rd cousin's ex-boyfriend. Marijuana has many medically accredited abilities. It has been proven to cause less cancer than they claim that tobacco does. It creates effects less damaging and impairing than alcohol. Think about this. If you show up to work drunk you'll be fired. If you drive drunk you'll be fined and thrown in jail. Just like alcohol it could have a driving law set and a legal age limit. If marijuana was legalized and produced by legitimate companies in the same manner as over the counter drugs or cigarettes and sold at lower than street value prices it would put dope dealers out of a job, stop funding terror, no longer buy guns to kill police officers, babies, rival gangs, and the ex-boyfriend of the hairdresser's 3rd cousin. Not only that it could be taxed and produced by the government which would eliminate the federal deficit. If the government produced it for sale to the public (simmilar to the use of tobbacco or over the counter drugs) it would not only eliminate government debt but also provide money for schools, health care, cancer research, finding a cure for aids, police, fire fighters, victims of September 11th, the poor, the homeless, state prisons, and national security. But we all know that the government doesn't give a damn about any of that or else they would have legalized marijuana by now don't you think? |
