Revenue From Marijuana If It Were Legal

I like the graphic and statistics – very cool!

I have not found a better viewpoint then this one in regards to plant life on this planet.

“11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.”

If God sees that all the plant life He created is good then why can’t we?

It’s because of all the politicians, lawyers, judges, cops and jailers are hopelessly addicted to PAY CHEQUES.

“In strict medical terms, marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume … Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man.” — DEA Administrative Law Judge, Francis L. Young 1988

p. 25 – “Sowed hemp at muddy hole by swamp” (May 12-13, 1765), indicates he was growing it away from the hemp he grew for fiber.

“Began to separate the male from female plants at do [sic] – rather too late” (August 7, 1765), and, “Pulling up the (male) hemp. Was too late for the blossom hemp by three weeks or a month” (August 29, 1766), indicates that he was trying to grow female plants.

p. 26 – Thomas Jefferson (also a hemp farmer) noted in his diary that he smoked hemp for relief from migraine headaches

it was a common practice fro colonial Americans to smoke Cannabis, of varying degrees of potency, in lieu of tobacco, for recreational and for medicinal purposes, and the practice probably lasted until well after the Civil War. It was readily available, and free – you could simply pick it, dry it, and smoke it.

Washington reportedly preferred a pipe full of “the leaves of hemp” to alcohol, and wrote in his diaries that he enjoyed the fragrance of hemp flowers. Washington and Jefferson, both known to have grown medicinal hemp, are said to have exchanged smoking blends as person gifts. In a letter, Washington wrote, “The artificial preparation of hemp, from Silesia, is really a curiosity.” Monroe, apparently began smoking Cannabis while he was Ambassador to France and continued using it to the age of 73.

Andrew Jackson, Zachary Taylor, and Franklin Pierce reportedly smoked Cannabis with their troops and wrote home of the pleasures of smoking hemp.

Abe Lincoln, who grew up poor and probably couldn’t afford tobacco, reportedly said he liked nothing better than sitting on his front porch smoking from his hemp pipe.

quoted from: The Hohner Harmonica Company found a letter in its archives from Abraham Lincoln, stating that he liked nothing more than sitting on his porch, playing his harmonica and smoking hemp from his corncob pipe.
