Does Anyone Else Find The “legalize Marijuana” Movement Suspicious?
This movement was around since the 1970s when it was primarily the hippie crowd and, ironically the tobacco companies that wanted it legalized for recreational use. (See tobacco company memo excerpt in references below)
Then we didn’t hear much about it for about 20 years.
Suddenly in about 1995, it rears its head again in 2 ways:
1. It is suddenly a miracle drug used for glaucoma, cancer, chronic pain etc.
2. We suddenly have a fiber crisis and need hemp as a solution.
In both cases, media stories went from 0 to thousands in a matter of months.
I don’t doubt it helps people forget their pain, but it seems like there are probably better medicinal solutions than being stoned all the time, and the hemp thing is just ridiculous.
Both, however offer a convenient way to flood the countryside with hard to regulate weed.
Again, If it really helps, I don’t have a problem with the really sick having permission to grow a few plants.http://www.drugwatch.org/Tobacco_Marijua…
Why is it so important for so many people to intrude into the lives of others? A better question to ask other than “Why should it be leagalized?” is “Why is it illegal?” Why has the government decided that some drugs (alchohol, nicotiene, caffiene) should be legal for unregulated consumption, and a basically harmless soft drug like marijuana with debatable medicinal benifits is demonized and thrown into the same catagory as herion and cocaine which like alchohol have ruined millions of lives and killed millions of people?
Why are you so concerned with what people do with their personal time?

You are very misinformed. The medicinal qualities are tried and true. The hemp issue is real. You can’t smoke hemp! Anyone knows that. Hemp is one of the best products there is. Stronger, more durable, cheaper to produce, easier to farm. Hemp oil is one of the best oils you can fine. There is hemp cream for your body. You are believing what the government tells you and that is a sad thing. Do some research and some reading on the issues. Don’t listen to propaganda from the drug companies (who tell us that herbs are dangerous!). Have an open mind and learn. Do some real research man, and get back to us!
