Reply #3: We have heard this over and over by [View All]

way of studies, reports and the conclusions of intellectuals who have given the matter a lot of thought.

Yet, the "leaders" persist in a prohibition that creates criminals who have no victim.

So, it is easy to conclude that the reason and logic that counter the "war on some drugs" does not matter and that other issues keep draconian drug laws in place.

There are many reasons why hemp and cannabis are demonized and criminalized and most of them are about financial issues for vested interests in many industries.

Now that the "reefer madness" argument no longer holds, very little serves the facade that justifies unjust laws that put ordinary, harmless people in prison. The harm of current drug policies is obvious and demonstrable whereas the harm of cannabis is negligible, if there is any at all.

On the other hand, the benefits of cannabis and its hemp cousin have been and are great and wide.

We are seeing the effect of dominant industries and the PTB here, point blank. No need to speculate or wonder why.
