George Soros has a huge lobby to legalize hemp all over the world, I guess because it makes people more mellow and complascent.
Althought, and that part is rumour, his thing is Opium. I am confident it will be legal in most of US states soon, still is ilegal here in Brazil. I think it is bad idea to use narcotics of any kind, and also legal drugs to help sleep or antidepressants. Once you get hooked, is really hard to get off. I almost lost my father to crack cocaine, and it started with hemp, so I am totally biased about it. He was in a clinic for 5 months and his wieght dropped to 45 kg, he was a little more than a skeleton. Also, I was hooked in antidepressants when I was a atheist, but dropped 5 years ago. So I hate this kind of stuff. But I do not see society changing by legalization of hemp, everything will be much more smelly, that´s all.
I've lost a family member to alcoholism. Why is it ok for alcohol to be legal?
