Did you know that 3 out of the four Presidents on Mt. Rushmore used cannabis for different purposes. Washington and Jefferson grew hemp (and Cannabis) Lincoln admits to doing a pipe full in the evenings to relax. Jefferson smuggled cannabis seeds from China (not hemp) and narrowly escaped with his life. China had a death penalty if they caught with the seeds.
I suggest everyone read "the Emperor Wears No Clothes" by Jack Herer. It will open your eyes to this problem our government has with hemp and cannabis. Yes, "Big Pharma" could lose billions of dollars if everyone could grow their own medicine in their backyards. The Pharmacy lobby is one of the biggest in our nation and our politicians have lined their pockets with the money yet legal pain killers have killed more people every year than the whole time of the Viet Nam war. Now, they are getting their just rewards of many states suing those companies for causing the Opioid crisis.
