This isn't the football section.

And my doctor from Children's is a busy guy, and I don't really have any other doctors.  Also, he said that he was recently at a convention that talked about the medical uses of marijuana, but that doesn't necessarily mean he knows anything about hemp.

I will ask him the next time I have an appointment, but that's most likely a few months.

Add this to the fact that they both were immensely powerful and tied to the head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, a fella named Ainslinger, and you get enough pull to have it banned.  They used racist propaganda to scare the general public and soften resistance.  The whole reason it's called marijuana and not hemp or cannabis (as it had been to Americans forever) is to give it a Mexican name that would cause people to associate it with minorities.  The word isn't even in the dictionary until prohibition.  

I don't smoke anymore due to work reasons, but when you look into the actual history of weed prohibition, it's pretty infuriating.  There's zero good reason for it to remain illegal for industrial, medical or even recreational purposes.

Great insight.
