Also, hemp seeds could end world hunger, as they contain all the essential amino and fatty acids necessary for human life. Hemp could end deforestation by providing better housing and paper (in fact, houses made from hemp can withstand hurricanes and earthquakes).

I now look at people who oppose marijuana as evil, and I feel real anger. One drug czar, Carlton Turner, supported the poisoning of marijuana plants, so people who smoked the marijuana would die and be taught a lesson. Another man, Peter McWilliams, was using medicinal marijuana to help with his AIDS and cancer. When the DEA arrested him, his mother put up her house for bail, and the government said they would take her house if Peter ever used marijuana again. They gave him Marinol, but it didn't work half as well as marijuana. Shortly after his medicine was taken away, Peter died what was possibly a quite painful death. There are many other people out there who have not died because of medicinal marijuana, and even more who are dying or have died because they did not have access to it. It makes me so angry, so fucking angry, to see those anti-marijuana ads, which are campaigning against a drug that has never killed anybody but has saved lives. People are literally dying over this, in so many ways... I just want it to end. Fuck the government. FUCK THEM!
You're thinking to deeply man...marijuana is a great plant but it's not going to "save the world" There are far more important things to worry about.

I'm sure I will get a million neg reps for saying that. But people on here need to stop thinking it's a gift from god or something, and it's a "cure for cancer" but the government is behind this big conspiracy so it isn't being used as such.

I love herb as much as the next person but I'm also a very realistic person...I do want it to be legalized but not because I think it's gonna save the planet or something lol. It just isn't as harmful as tobacco or alcohol so it's pointless for it to be illegal in my eyes.
