Marijuana should be legal.
Marijuana growers and distributers can be compared to the moonshiners of yesteryear. They are prosecuted and vilified. The industry could be legitimized, regulated and taxed. There are existing laws or policies to stop individuals from driving or working ‘under the influence’.
Hemp should be legal to grow in the United States
Hemp is a plant related to marijuana that is currently illegal to grow in the United States. It was first used to make ropes and fishing nets. Industrial hemp is generally defined as having less than 0.3% THC, which is the active ingredient in marijuana. It has a multitude of uses such as paper, cosmetics, plastic, fuel, food, clothing, building products, and medicine. Hemp is a growing industry in the U.S. and currently is only imported. It could be a vital crop to our farmers adding needed jobs to our economy. It should not be maligned along with the illegal drug trade.
