8. My take on what is about is
part of why cannabis is illegal and has been for decades now. There are many reasons for the prohibition, historically, but they are not about morals and teenagers going berserk.

There are several industries, (you can fill-in the blanks) that are threatened by legalization of the medicinal and recreational use of this plant. Then, to top it off, there is the potential impact of the return of widespread growing of hemp for various purposes, which would ensue after any legalization because there would be no excuse for preventing its return.

The list of industries impacted by this "competitor" along with the huge amount of money that is generated across the world from trafficking and the money that is laundered, not to mention the black budgets funded, makes cannabis and hemp formidable foes to profit and control.
