Level Head Crooked Smile

Cannabis is the most useful plant knwn to man. It's been proven that in the short term it doesn't even kill braincells, just temporarily freezes them. If we legalized it and exploited it the commercial boom would be tremendous, jobs created through paper and fiber manufacturing alone, environmental conservation as a result. It's a pretty one sided argument in terms of pros and cons. The main reason it's illegal is due to it threatening predominant industries such as timber paper and from a general attitude of keeping the status quo. Not to mention public ignorance. And to reply offhand to an earlier comment I saw, society and more specifically, the government, makes more money from the use of tobacco then it puts out as a result of needed healthcare because of it.
