Well, hemp could save the planet, being used for fuel and eliminating greenhouse gases, thus ending global warming. 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!
Here, Here.

But don't misunderstand the government.

Its not the government thats bad its the people that re running it. I think as marijuana activists become more active and more prominent, and when we take office.

Obama, who I'm not saying I support, admits enjoying weed in college.

This is a big public relations victory for our movement.

If weed smokers keep getting elected its only a matter of time before its legalized.

We just need to hurry that project along.
