Perhaps the most discouraging aspect of your whole article on marijuana is that the original name and use of the plant is never mentioned.

The plant originally was named hemp, was used in early America for a multitude of purposes also is a million-dollar industry, excluding pot and medicinal uses.

The name was changed and a huge disinformation campaign was successfully mounted by the chemical cartels, and now we have one of the most profitable industries in the United States shut down (and very unjustly criminalized) on account of it.
