So many good things come from these plants. The decades-long ban was so short-sighted and counter-productive, and most importantly, the medical effects were also kept from us.
Watch some of the Dragnet episodes on youtube if you get a chance and observe how they just outright lied about it as a scare tactic. They are funny now, for how stupid that show was at times.
How interesting sir free-reign! Dragnet had episodes where they were brainwashing people about hemp!? lol. That's amazing. Do you know why it got banned in the first place? Probably out of ignorance.
Not hemp specifically, but pot. Their shows in which they are concentrating on arresting people for pot are as bad as that 1930's or 1940's movie Reefer Madness, which one can probably find on youtube. Dragnet hawked ALL of the ridiculous "dangers" of pot that the propagandists had conceived for that movie, which itself was a manufactured scare tactic.
There's a relationship between hemp and marijuana plants, and hemp was banned because of that relationship. But the real story on why the government wanted both to be illegal has nothing to do with the "dangers" of using pot for medical reasons or recreational reasons. It had to do with $$$$$ as does just about everything the government does (and HAS done) for its lobbyists.
