Alright, I'm making this short and sweet. I discovered recently that there are alleged connections that say the US is secretly helping drug trafficking. Why would they do the opposite of what their law says? Heroin and cocaine are both dangerous and addictive and marijuana not so much but its all three are high in demand. The US probably thought marijuana was addictive(just popular) so it all fits in. They would keep it illegal because it is worth more. The US, or something in the US that the top parts of government know about, is making money off this somehow. If this alleged connection does exist, the person making the moves is probably someone near the top. Since these drugs are supposed to be addictive, high in demand, and worth a lot, its a great source of income, especially one in secret. Although busts will happen, in the end run, the amount of money that comes in is still absolutely unbelievable. How plausible do you think this theory is? I'm giving it a 7/10
10/10 they sell the drugs make money, put the people in jail for using the drugs, more money win win situation for them
I was assuming everyone was aware of this context Although I think the reason why hemp got illegal... well we all probably know the story. Dupont and his buddies, including aslinger, teamed up to get hemp out of the industry or something like that using racism and the unknown, at the time, word marihuana with an H.
