In their defense, I think this forum is way too quick to blame the government for every problem with the plant. The Majority of the world is unforunately against Marijuana. The government is simply out to regulate society, and majority rules. They are not going to appeal to the minority of us who are smoking pot. If they did, then we have the majority of the world who will get pissed. Once society finally realizes how harmless the plant is, then things will start making changes.
The majority of the world is anti-cannabis because of usa demand. When we fought the japanese part of the surrender was they would give up the use of cannabis hemp and use synthetics. We re-wrote their constitution.
Cannabis has been a vital role in most of the world until usa interference.
A good book with accurate references would be Ernest, Abel; Marijuana, the first 12,000 years. Many European countries, like Portugal, The Netherlands, etc etc pretty much ignore usa demands.
