I am glad to say that the canadian goverment is experimenting with about 5 crops of hemp this year in ontario for use in rope, paper ,biofuel and a couple of uses we already know and i can't think of right now.But as for americans you guys/gals need to organize and rally the only way to get change is to force it, you want medicinal marijuana in your state protest it. Medicinal is the foot in the door for legalization if you can get it medicinalized in your state that opens more eyes then ever.people start thinking that if it is considered medicine it couldn't be as bad as they have heard in the past and that maybe it should be legalized .My grandmother is now pro pot because i sat there and explain to her all the pro's of marijuana and how it could stabilize our enviroment....but it could also be because when i was telling her all of this i was smoking a fat cannon and i think she inhaled alot of lofting smoke lol keep fighting you have canada's support .oh and we now have medicinal users in all provinces atleast one in every province isn't that crazy man
