56. the money it keeping it illegal is in chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
the chemical end is more about hemp, than pot.
cotton uses as many agricultural (petro)chemicals as the rest of american crops COMBINED.
hemp grows very well without ANY.
it also makes better paper than wood pulp that's been treated with a lot of chemicals- but then there wouldn't be a market for the chemicals.

as for pharmaceuticals- if pot were legal, there are plenty of prescriptions that plenty of people would no longer need.
