Why is cannabis illegal?

[Noles]

I was tasked to write about a problem in our society and I chose drug prohibition.

That was a very good Read Noles, Thank for Sharing.

How did I not expect that History, Greed and Politics would be behind the Prohibition of Cannabis.

I learned many new things about the Value in Cannabis from reading your Article. We have a few States who realized the Value/Extra income they could Generate by Legalizing Medical Marijuana. We all have to ask ourselves what there Motivation was but I think we all know the answer has to be due to Monetary Gain. It surely could not be because our States or Government thought it would be Useful for a Certain Type of Human Beings in need.

Obviously this is only one benefit of the Plant, there are so many more However I imagine we will not see those anytime soon due to very Large Corporations Interests, Politics and Greed. However we do see a Movement toward a Drug for Medical Purpose that they can Regulate. My guess is that they found or seen a way to Profit, hence they took action. In my opinion it's only a matter of time before other States Follow suit. I would like to think that Maybe someday they will Realize the Potential in using Hemp as a Resource and allow us to Grow it. This would out weigh the Financial interests of certain Large Corporations and Manufacturing Companies. Realistically, this will not happen anytime soon. Years of Politics and History have Proven to all of us that "What's Good for our Country is not always in our Countries best Interest".

Imagine all of things we can do with Hemp, This was a very good Read and I Highly Recommend anyone who made it this far in this Thread should Treat themselves to Reading this from Start to Finish and then Leave your Comment.

Give you a High Five my Friend Noles
