For those who don't know, the reason why marijuana is illegal is because of the chemical and logging industries. The heads of those industries lobbied the gov't to outlaw marijuana and hemp because you don't need as many chems as wood to turn hemp into paper, and hemp is replacable compared to trees. Hemp can be used in tons of ways to make eco friendly things. Just think, why make hemp illegal when it can't get you high?

You cant forget the lobbying by the cotton industry.  they played a big part in it aswell.

I didn't know that! Thanks for the info. I need to do more research!
