I was wondering why marijuana, scientifically proven to be beneficial to the ill and depressed, proven to not cause any physical addiction (like, say, antidepressants), proven to help sleep, should be illegal. We live in a drug culture. Turn on the tv... "If it's raining on tuesday and your knee itches three times, you have this disease... take our drug... side effects, stroke, bloody stool, projectile vomiting..." It seems everything is a syndrome today and the Rx companies are very succesful. Just the other day an ad for an allergy medicine (all in one!), where they said, "we don't know exactly HOW this works..." It seems that as long as the government can make money off the "legal" drugs they are okay no matter how full of bull or what side effects they cause or lack of long-term effect knowledge, but the side-effect free GOD GIVEN herb that you can grow in your own garden and is good medicine for sooo much is illegal, generating billions for the government in legal fines! WHY?
