It used to be legal

During the World Wars, marijuana or cannabis was legal. A multitude of product were made using cannabis, which is the plant that makes marijuana, and then during the war it was suddenly made illegal because or propaganda saying that marijuana was causing the soldiers severe problems. Now a days, through scientific research we know that this was a lie because marijuana does not cause severe problems, just makes you feel good and makes you hungry. Before and during the World Wars, over 50,000 products were made using cannabis. Some of these products are paper, oil for lamps, lubricants, rope, cloths, and a number of other products.

If we look at our current world we are running our of natural resources, so I ask the question if so many different products we use daily can be made through a plant that is made in abundance, why are we wasting our precious resources on products we could have been making with a renewable resource. If the government is going to wait till we are out of resources to remember that we can use cannabis as a alternative, then they are making a big mistake. We could be using these resources on new and better products and not products anything can be used to make them.
