Legalizing marijuana would eliminate the huge profits taken in by the Mexican drug cartels, which are threatening the stability of Mexico and the U.S., said Aaron Houston, a pro-pot advocate in Washington.

Legalize all drugs. The government can't tell people to only make good decisions with their life. A man who is only free to make good decisions is not free at all.

You should look at the original reason prohibition on hemp.

In the 1930s, the Dow (?) chemical co. patented the process of making plastics from oil.

It was American business that eradicated hemp, partly by using the Mexican slang term 'marijuana' so people wouln't know what it was really about.

Hemp was the most important crop ever. From building materials to ropes, Its an amazing plant.

Oh, ya,... I hear you can smoke it too.

the problem is cocaine smuggled by tons from cuba to floroda and from puerto rico to new york.

@hexzerg Implying the use of a simple little HERB is a bad decision. I've never heard of a herb that is bad for you, hence why the plant is considered a HERB.

Wikipedia: "An herb is a plant that is valued for flavor, scent, MEDICINAL, or other qualities."

And to imagine people so blindly fall for the propaganda thrown out from big pharma that a herb can be unhealthy when they themselves sell millions of dollars worth of REAL DRUGS that kill thousands every year, far worse than illegal "drugs."

@iRyaan and this is exactly why the legalities of hemp is viewed to be completely absurd, you CANNOT smoke hemp alone to get high, in order to do so you must extract the THC, and since it is found in low qualities in hemp, it is a complete waste of the plant compared to what you can use it for with the medical properties and lets not forget, the material itself, what brought Americas economy as the worlds superpower it once was. And it will only continue to collapse until we re-legalize HEMP!!

@Rhal95 I agree with everything you said but where it came to the ability to smoke it, yes you can smoke hemp, people smoke tar in their cigarettes. But I find what you said there to be very misleading, unlike various other types of cannabis, hemp is very low in THC, you can NOT get high from smoking hemp. Hemp can be used for its medical properties, yes, but in order to do so you must gather an abundant amount of hemp and extract it's oils.

@hexzerg < Nope, hit these cartels with deadly force everywhere they exist. This solves the problem and also let mothers bond their babies after birth and till ready to go to school. This means mothers should not work outside the home AS RAISING A HEALTHY CHILD IS MORE THAN A FULL TIME JOB.

@dankgreengrass < What control Egypt has on USA's scientific know how ? Any kind of chemical or smoke other than pure air is harmful to mouth, nose and lungs. Is that a rocket science ? NO.

Main reason people take any drugs is that they never had been properly bonded with their mothers from the time of birth till 3-5 yrs of age. This truth is never discussed.

Some do drugs out of curiosity and then stop as artificial stimulation is nothing compared to high of living a virtuous life.

Pot is illegal because of a smear campaign to secure timber interest in the paper industry.
