99% of it’s use is not for medicinal purposes, and you know it.
of course I do. But that means what? It’s less toxic than some foods we eat. I just said thats a good reason, but I also think it should be allowed for recreational use. It’s less harmless than alcohol. waaayy less harmful.
And as far as the current “growers and buyers”. We will have to see when it eventually is legalized. I have a hunch that the big tobacco companies surely have some sort of hidden warehouse where they have boatloads of ganj ready to be distributed on a massive scale. lol The DEA cracks people that get too crazy with grow projects. But there are over a hundred thousand commercial growers that grow in the United States alone. They can’t control anything, they try and stop one house, then three more pop up. It puts more people in jail than any other offense. Which costs us money. Lot’s of money. Money that we definitely need now.
#13 that’s my whole point. It’s time we break that reputation. It’s a reputation built on ignorance, fear, and lies. All started with Harry Anslinger drastic stretch of an account about a guy who axed his family after he supposedly smoked a joint. He used that to pass the first Marijuana Tax Acts back in the 30’s. Then Reagan had to lay the hammer down in the 1980’s. Surprisingly though, democrats were actually more harsh on marijuana than republicans. Probably because they didn’t want to be stereo-typed.
