I have asked this question twice before, well, here we go again. For those of you who didn't catch it the first two times, the question was, "give me a reason that justifies giving a responsible adult 21yrs of age or older a criminal record for possession of cannabis, (marijuana). Because "It is against the LAW" is not acceptable, it is the LAW that is in question here. Please post one "reason" per post. For example= "Because it is ADDICTIVE". I will try very hard not to answer with a question, such as "How addictive is it"? I would answer that particular question thus,

HEMP!! What is HEMP? It's a plant. Can I use it to get "high"? NO. What can I do with it? Lots of things. Henry Ford used HEMP to build a car body of plastic, in the 1940s. You can use HEMP to power a car, or truck. You can make clothes from it's fibers. You can make paper from it, in fact you can get 400% more pulp from an acre of HEMP, than you can from an acre of trees. It has many, MANY uses. YA, BUT CAN I SMOKE IT AND GET HIGH? NO, NO, NO YOU CANNOT GET HIGH FROM IT.. It wold be an excelent cash crop for our struggling farmers. Why don't they grow it, you ask? THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN IT'S REDICULOUS MARIJUANA HYSTERIA WON'T LET THEM. I personaly believe the fed is suppressing the production of this crop to protect their big business buddies from having to deal with the competition. I think this is illegal.  I mantion this because you should know how blatant the government can get in their corruption, because they think they have you totaly buffaloed, and you're not going to raise hell about it. You know, it's a shame, but they're probably right.
