@Soupaman66: Well, actually USA made an international demand in the fourties to ban hemp(too cheap, durable, common, prohibition would increase hemp prices throughout few decades), and whichever country didn't heed, "wasn't a good friend of them" anymore.
Topic is way too deep for a this kind of conversation.

Essentially one absorbs "food" molecules getting this information inside own system, vitamins and other needed substances are used in various functions, some are harmful.
Distilled water removes minerals from the body only because it's more or less pure H2O. It doesn't give any minerals, but body removes them altogether and mineral balance is negative.
Too much of anything will create disbalance and might force body to work a bit differently than optimal.
You are what you ingest, do or think. Literally.

In fact, alcohol has been proven to be more addicting, has a more dangerous high, and has the potential to lead to more dangerous complications than marijuana. Yet alcohol has become a staple of almost every known culture in the world and marijuana is...just for those good-for-nothing potheads.

Obviously there are going to be potheads out there that would be pathetic losers even if they WEREN'T abusing the drug, but marijuana should have nowhere NEAR the stigma it does in society.

Alcohol and tobacco aren't banned, and those two substances have contributed to a lot more death, injury, and 'social ills' than marijuana.

I think it comes down to money. It's something people can grow themselves and don't need to purchase from specialty retailers.

You think that's why it's illegal? lol no, seriously?
