Legalize marijuana: it's healthier than food approved by the FDA

What I wish I had thought to say when I was making the video:

My initial decision to become a vegetarian over five years ago, and my subsequent decision to remain that way, has been based on extensive, in depth research of the food and meat industries. My main point is that the FDA refuses to legalize marijuana, whose health risks are seriously overestimated, and yet, its legislative membrane is as thin as tissue paper, in that it ushers virtually any product onto the market, so long as it is convenient for the status quo. I complain about labels and regulations because they do not serve their purpose, that is, to assist the consumer in making healthy, well informed decisions about what to put into their bodies. The heads of these large corporations hire lawyers to create labels that flirt dangerously with the parameters of the law- these labels are meaningless, misleading, and worded as loosely as possible. In addition, the FDA does an extremely poor job of enforcing pre-existing regulations, and does an even worse job at formulating new ones. Did you know that herbs, which are becoming increasingly significant as holistic and alternative medicinal approaches grow in popularity, have absolutely no regulations or guidelines? In reality, the FDA has no safety testing requirements. Instead, they rely on research conducted by large, greedy food companies that has been meticulously designed to favor the products of the company in question. There are many books dedicated to this topic. I complain about genetically modified and cloned foods because studies conducted by scientists not associated with these companies of the FDA have found that genetically modified foods have unforeseen but likely consequences such as new allergies, toxins, and diseases that cannot be deciphered within the minuscule time slot that have been allotted to GEM food thus far, but time will show us that GEM foods are hazardous to our health in ways that will matter very soon. I'm complaining about a government that passes laws that forbids citizens from publicly disapproving of the meat industry (read more about the lawsuit filed against Oprah), violating our First Amendment right to free speech. I'm complaining about a government that restricts American citizens from having critical knowledge about substances that are necessary to further life. My point lies not in the practicality of making marijuana legal, or how corrupt a federal marijuana industry may become (because private ownership of marijuana agriculture can technically still be legal under such a system). My point, rather, is that this is a civil liberties issue, but even more so an issue of hypocrisy- that the government will criticize pot while it simultaneously endorses and makes no effort to prohibit mass, monopolized agricultural practices that induce E-coli epidemics.

Cannabis is a 100% all natural non toxic medicinal plant SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO INHIBIT CANCER CELL GROWTH. annual deaths from tobacco: 400,000 deaths from cannabis since human existence: 0

@tiedstraw Woah, simmer down there, Sparky. Don't get ahead of yourself. As much as I support marijuana legalization, I haven't read anything in my research about cannabis inhibiting cancer cell growth. Now, I apologize if I'm wrong. If you can find me an article from a scholarly, peer reviewed scientific journal that supports what you are asserting, then I will acknowledge it. Until then, I have to point out that marijuana only alleviates the side effects associated with cancer treatment.

One can live without Marijuana, one can not live without food. I am not against legalization.

Some of your facts are a little bit screwy, might want to do a little more thorough research.
