Everyone always says that. Don't apologize, it's the common response bred into society by popular media.

It is doubtful that anyone in the US is not aware that marijuana is illegal, so anyone who smokes marijuana in the US does so willingly despite knowing that they are becoming a "criminal." Prohibition simply does not work. Alcohol proved that. To outlaw a taxable commodity puts that commodity completely in the hands of a "criminal" element.

"It is to be hoped that the menace of marijuana can be wiped out before it falls into the vicious protectorate of powerful members of the underworld."

All of the arguments against the drug menace "Marihuana" go against all logic and reason.

This is not about getting high. If it was, there would be some mention of smoking "MARIHUANA" in the 1942 USDA film, HEMP FOR VICTORY, which there is not. But there is a Special Tax Stamp that reads, "PRODUCER OF MARIHUANA," and fields upon fields of legal "MARIHUANA" grown to keep the US safe and free.

This is why this film and this program are so important. "Marihuana" was outlawed as the worst drug menace in the US in 1937 and then the US LEGALIZED "MARIHUANA" IN 1942 TO SUPPORT OUR TROOPS.

How can this be possible? Is "Marihuana" the worst drug menace in history? Or is "Marihuana" the most useful and most abundant annually-renewable natural resource on Earth? It can't be both, can it?
