WE all know the REAL reason why Marijuana is illegal, and that is the profit margin of a variety of corporations that make money off of products that compete with marijuana.
For example:
The logging and paper mill industries that use lumber instead of hemp to make their products.
The Textile manufacturers that favor Petrochemical and Cotton for their clothings.
The Oil manufacturers that favor Petroleum instead of Hemp based Vegetable oils.
The Plastic Manufacturers that Favor Petroleum instead of Hemp based Vegetable oils for making their Plastics.
The Pharmaceutical manufacturers that favor petroleum based chemical compounds instead of natural remedies.
The Alchohal and Tobacco lobbyists that see marijuana as potential competition for their products.
These corporate interests are the driving force behind the continued war on drugs.
And to these people, I have only one thing to say...
What the hell is wrong with you?
Do you not understand simple economics?
All of these industries... ALL of them could make a KILLING off of hemp.
ALL of them.
Just for the purpose of expediency, Im going to go through the list, and explain why EACH industry would be greatly BENEFITED by the legalization of Marijuana, instead of continuing to spend MILLIONS and BILLIONS in keeping it illegal.
1. The Logging, and paper industries.
Ok, if you bought farmland, or just bought hemp from farmers, not only would you have a safer product, that would keep your customers happy, but you would get the environmentalists off your back, and save you lobbying fees on a yearly basis.
The usage of hemp for traditional wood based products could potentially save you MILLIONS in Forest land acquisition costs, and with the rate that hemp grows, you could do far more business off of a smaller land base.
Therefore, the paper, and logging industry would save MILLIONS by diversifying to hemp based products.
2. Textile Manufacturers.
Since livestock require a greater amount of arable land than a like amount of vegetable matter (Hemp) the diversification into the realms of hemp based clothing (for purely hemp based, or composite hemp clothing) could not only save you millions of dollars in farm costs, but the aggregate output of textiles could be sharply increased due to the quick growth cycle of Hemp plants, when compared to the relative small amount of material you get from a herd of sheep.
Not to mention, that you could use hemp based feed FOR your sheep, and the additive protein content in hemp seed would provide a low cost way to increase the growth of sheep wool (Hair is Protein, dumb ass)
In addition, instead of using petroleum based plastics for polyester blends, you could instead use hemp oil based polyester for your clothing.
3. Oil Producers.
YOU are running out of oil.
YOU are causing destructive wars to secure the last remaining vestiges of the only resource that you can sell.
Instead, you could invest your money in creating Hemp farm across the Midwest as far as the eye can see.
And use these farms to create hemp based fuels, and lubricants for various purposes.
And since these hemp oils are completely organic, and similar to petroleum based oils, you could sell the hemp oil derivatives to your various "Daughter" industries in order to manufacture plastics, medicines, precision machine oils, etc...
Not to mention the amount of money you would save, not having to lobby congress, or harass environmental rights groups, destroy natural habitats, and environmental cleanup for oil spills.
4. Plastic Manufacturers.
If you made plastics with Biodegradable hemp stock, not only would you have a more environmentally friendly material, but you would be putting money into the pocets of the farmers that you buy the hemp from, instead of oil interests.
And with money in the pockets of farmers, they would buy things that our economy provides, thus strengthening our economy.
You would not have to worry about lawsuits against plastics that leech chemicals into water, because hemp is environmentally friendly, and completely biodegradable.
5. Pharmaceutical Industry.
You are afraid of losing your monopoly on pharmaceutical if hemp were to be legalized.
You do realize that raw marijuana is only good for a certain number of ailments, don't you?
You do realize that hemp based oils are a MUCH better base to manufacture your chemical medicines that the poison of petroleum, don't you?
You realize that in order to make these hemp based pharmaceuticals, we will still need extremely advanced scientific methods to alter the molecular structure of the plant for specific purposes, right?
You do realize that having a All Natural, biodegradable, environmentally friendly "Base" for your products, will help you out in the long run, right?
6. Alchohal and Tobacco manufacturers.
Come on guys... you can diversify.
Marlboro Greens?
Buzz Beer?
Jesus.. I mean, the possibilities of your companies making EVEN MORE money off of the addition of hemp to your portfolio is almost limitless.
Just imagine, a New flavor of Budweiser, made in all hemp plastic bottles, fermented with a touch of the finest Green, and choice hops and barley, Miller High Life anyone?
Just imagine an all new line from R.J. Reynolds...
Tobaccoweed...
90% marijuana, 10% tobacco... for that smooth, cool high.
I mean... you people think so 3 dimensionally.
You need to get your head OUTSIDE the fucking BOX.
I can't believe that I have to say these things dammit!
I thought you Capitan's of industry were SMART to make all of that money... but it appears that you know nothing other than Inertia.
Think about it, and stop fucking with our lives.
