The more I read on cannabis sativa, the more I think its really a wonderful plant. Ive never had much of a problem with it anyways, but alot of people think its evil. If you take time to look at the wonderful benefits of the whole plant, it really stands head and shoulders among most herbs.
Here is a list by Granny Stormcrow;

Before you write it off as an evil plant that causes normal people to become serial rapists and murderers, please take a look at its history.
We could possibly save ourselves from a depression if we legalized and utilized this plant. Wed have many products to export. We could have a booming agricultural economy. Farmers who are now struggling to stay afloat would have a great source of revenue with a small initial cost to start. The farmer would save money on this crop, since it doesnt need much if any pesticides and fertilizers. Its cheap to grow, and grows fast and tall.
Paper, rope, medicines, plastics, oil from the seeds for an extremely healthful source of omegas 3,6,9, oil for biofuels, clothing (very strong fibers), and many others from just one plant.
In this economy and the coming depression its foolish to continue to prohibit a plant proven safe with such a benefit to people and the economy.
