the only reason marijauna and hemp are not legal is because of randolph hearst and  william dupont  hearst had millions of acres of woodlands  thatcouldnt be used if hemp was legal to make paper from dupont had a formula for paint  from petro chemicals paints and varnish used to be made from hemp seed oil back in the early days of our country it was a law that you had to grow hemp so many things can be made from hemp plastic paper oil cloth building materials medicine and the list goes on the constitution was written on paper made from hemp  wisconsin used to be the worlds largest producer of hemp that title now belongs to china so yes marijauna and hemp should be legal in my humble opinion
