Well, it seems to be coming up more and more in election issues. Then there's the legalization of it in certain Euro-located countries/etc.

I can't find you anything right now - but talking from experience...I can easily tell you that alcohol is way more detrimental to your body then greenery.

Oh there's also that study recently on cannabis and Alzheimer's...I think I may have also read something about cannabinoids in relationship to cancer/aids research.

Ah there was something else, but of course I forgot what it was...oh yeah (I totally sat there for a good 2 minutes thinking) - Hemp.

Hemp is one of the worlds most renewable and important resources. It doesn't rape the earth like cotton does, it grows so dense that you hardly need to use pesticides as weeds just get smothered between it, it's WAY healthy for you (check out it's nutritional properties some time) and you can use it in anything from clothes, plastic, paper or more.

I'd personally be totally fine if the US legalized hemp growth wayyyyyy before marijuana use. I feel it's just that important that we move to hemp as a major natural resource.
