Thanks for your article. I have always had the feeling that none of this nonsense over weed is even necessary. I don't think it should have been ever made illegal. The only conflict was a threat to Hearst's fortune back in the day.

Yep, we could've skipped oil, cotton, medicine, and alcohol had we actually had freedom rather than lying to ourselves about slavery we called freedom.
Those industries wouldn't exist as we know them today, and our world would be much cleaner, IMO.
I'm not too sure about the medicine part. I agree with everything else. If I remember correct lobbying against hemp, at least in the U.S., was due to competition against the paper industry, but yeah, we lied to ourselves and trusted government without validation. The oil industry was so filthy rich; they could afford sessions with politicians to talk about how dangerous hemp was to the nation. Ugh
It is horrible what they have been allowed to do while the masses stared into the flashylight boxes.
We appear to be getting a handle on that now that the dumpster fire is in office.
Freedom is in the air for the taking,...
