People really need to do some research and learn about this, it's a freaking plant for goodness sakes and by that alone it is rediculous that it is illegal. Since when is it OK to make NATURE against the law. WHEN weed is legalized it will be the best thing that happens to the US and Canada for a long time. Saving money, making even more money off taxes, saving the environment( there would be no need to chop trees down as hemp paper is much stronger and lasts way longer, not to mention you can produce a lot more paper in a shorter amount of time). Cannabis has also been found to have ANTI CANCER properties, and will alleviate pretty much any common illness. Oh and did I mention the effect it has on epilepsy? Just go watch DR Sanjay Gupta's documentarys. This plant literally has over a thousand different uses besides getting high, from making rope and clothes to dynamite.
