This brings to mind the long-standing question, what is the big deal
about marijuana, anyway? America, anyway, has had this stupid Reefer
Madness mentality for far too long, especially given that a far, far
more dangerous drug is available in numerous forms at the supermarket
or neighborhood liquor store.

It has to do with someone's vast forests earlier in the century and
wanting to keep paper production restricted to wood pulp. IIRC. Can't
remember who, though, to back it up with lots of reference or anything.

drinking is obviously more harmful and more dangerous. i would think that as
wood is becoming more and more expensive, hemp would be a practical
alternative. studies show that heavy pot smoking has has medicinal qualities,
but it also has negative side effects,
the least of which are that it makes you lethargic, etc. studies of long
time smokers in jamaica indicates that it may possibly cause brain damage with
heavy use.
