if it were legalized, the majority of people would only buy from well established brands that they know and "trust" for quality. people can brew their own beer, but does every one do that? the majority buys it of the shelf, because its easier, and you get a great product with consitant quality. when you grow, you may not always get a good crop. and its also very expensive to get a good growing setup. there will be people that would grow their own, and like microbreweries, there would be little shops that had their own specialties and strains. places that sold it would have to pay for a license, and that money would go back into the communitie. i think that the money that comes from the tax of the mass produced, should be used to fund education of the more dangerous and hard drugs. where in school are they talking about the dangers of the pills that are on the marker that people are dying from. living in rual north dakota, which has tried to apply for a federal license to grow hemp, but has been declined, know the benifeits of growing hemp. if every farmer were to grow a half to a whole field of hemp, and process that into fuel, they would have enough fuel for all of next years crop. saving them thousands of dollars a year. the biofuel produced would be able to get rid of our dependecy on foriegn oil. frankly, all i see is profit and prosperity for everyone and everyone benifiting from just one plant. a cheap medicin, cheap fuel, funding for better education, lower taxes, less of our population just sitting in prison wasting our hard earned money, a new market, a new pastime, and a healthier alternative to drinking.
