Is marijuana legalization inevitable in the US?

Should never have been made "illegal" in the first place.

[pcosmar]

I would hope to think so.

I haven’t checked but I wonder if the Injun Reservations have it available, they are exempt from state tax.

had not checked..

There are 6 or 7 stores in the area.. I have a favorite. Keeps stock of good quality but budget priced,, for folk like me.. and also Gourmet Choices.

2 States I have seen, have done it differently.. taxes included..

The real questions:

1. Why was one of the most useful plants on the planet (food, fiber, fuel and medicine) made illegal when it had been used for thousands of years?

2. If the prohibition of alcohol required an amendment to the Constitution, why didn't the prohibition of HEMP require a similar amendment?

3. Why was the attorney general of the US allowed to state that "There is no medical use for marijuana" when the US Gov DHHS has a patent on the use of the main ingredient since 2003? SEARCH US PATENT 6630507

4. How did Americans allow this to happen?

5. What other things have Americans been lied to about?

Hemp was made illegal because it was so useful. Big Steel & Cotton couldn't handle the competition, so they got .gov to make it illegal- calling it a drug- which it is not & then lining it up with it's sister plant, marijuana (& calling that by it's Mexican nickname to make it sound scary evil) so that everyone would applaud & not question. Sorta like masks in the modern world.

As for #5- I'd say.....everything.

Pretty much this.

It is but an herb... needs to be de-scheduled.

“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.”

The plant is a Gift from God.. Prohibition was a Great Evil..

Reversing that should be a goal.

Yep.

The indigenous peoples on the planet thought of hemp as a direct gift from God.
