Forests cover 31% of the land area on our planet. They produce vital oxygen and provide homes for people and wildlife. Many of the world’s most threatened and endangered animals live in forests, and 1.6 billion people rely on benefits forests offer, including food, fresh water, clothing, traditional medicine and shelter (drug war facts, Page 1).

Hemp was viewed as a threat to several competing industries which caused them to create a smear campaign against hemp. By associating hemp with marijuana and by creating the propaganda film “Reefer Madness” this caused hysteria amongst the population (History of Hemp, n.d.). Hemp prohibition started in the 1930s. Hemp was grouped under the umbrella of marijuana and effectively made illegal under the 1937 Marihuana Tax Act. Furthermore, In 1970 Industrial hemp was classified as marijuana under the Controlled Substance Act in spite of decades of government-funded research that identified industrial hemp to have a unique structure and function (Hemp’s History, n.d.). In spite of Hemp being illegal in America, Hemp is legally grown in about 30 countries around the world, with China and France as the leading producers of hemp. Canada our neighbor to the north legalized Hemp cultivation in 1998. Farmers, there must have a licensed and also grow approved low-THC seeds. Hemp grown in Canada has to be tested to ensure they contain less than 0.3 percent THC. This essay will

Marijuana is the dried flower clusters and leaves of the hemp plant when taken to induce euphoria. Marijuana has been in existence for centuries even Magellan spoke of it during his trip to India. In his log he spoke of a plant that you smoked that made a man drunk without drinking. Marijuana would be beneficial if legalized because it would bring in extra money, it has medical uses, hemp is one of the best materials in the world and on average it is healthier for you then beer or liquor.
Our society as a whole is being closed-minded when making decisions. We are accepting ideals from 50-60 years ago and letting negative views and affiliations keep us from a very abundant, and renewable resource. We could literally boost our economy over-night, and I am just not talking about one single industry. Right now we know of a plant that can be used for numerous benefits, but we are not using it up to its potential. That plant is Cannabis. I’m not going to talk about how medical marijuana and that every state should legalize it. I am not even going to talk about the medical/drug use of marijuana at all. I am going to talk about hemp. Hemp is a variety of the cannabis plant. It is the world’s longest, strongest, and most durable of all

When most think of marijuana, it is often affiliated with criminal acts and it is widely accepted as a malicious substance. This is true to a degree, but that overlooks its numerous health benefits, and potential economic impact. For a number of years the legalization of marijuana has been a heavily debated topic throughout Canada. Public opinion is divided on whether or not it should be legalized or decriminalized. A poll conducted by the Forum Poll consisting of 1189 Canadians 18 years of age and older, over two thirds (69%) supported either decriminalization for small amounts of marijuana (34%) or outright legalization and taxation (35%) (Forum Research). Canada is ranked fifth in the world for marijuana usage, but ranks first among industrializing nations. 16% of people aged 15 and older have admitted to using marijuana on a regular basis (Fox News). Although the decision to legalize marijuana may be a controversial one, it's use should be allowed due to it's health benefits, it's importance to certain religious groups, and the much needed boost it will provide to Canada's economy.
The legalization of hemp is a highly controversial topic due to the fact that it is very closely related to the drug marijuana. Hemp is not a drug, nor could it ever be used as one. When hemp is grown it is genetically altered to be strictly for the use of benefiting the economy by being cheaper and easier to maintain. Its sole use would be to replace many of the current substances that we use now, but at a much cheaper cost. It could replace plastic, which isn’t biodegradable. It could even be used to manufacture the body of a car like Henry Ford once did and even used fuel made from the hemp plant. The benefits of hemp highly outweigh anything negative about it, which is very minimal. According to Hemp Industries Association, one acre of hemp was equivalent to 4.1 acres of trees. It was also predicted that by the 1940’s all paper would be produced from hemp and no more trees would need to be cut down.
The Topic of Legalizing Marijuana has been a very conversational argumentative issue in the American society; moreover in the American politics today. There are many good arguments on why Marijuana should be Legalize and my argument is based on facts and supporting details to prove why Marijuana should be legalize. The Legalization of Marijuana would be profitable to our government and economy, according to Evan Wood who is the founder of the International Centre for Science in Drug Policy; The U.S taxpayers have spent an estimated $2.5 trillion on the war on drugs. The Legalization of Marijuana would have a medical use, and also useful in some religions; after all Legalizing Marijuana would eliminate the cost of keeping Marijuana illegal which cost the U.S government in excess of billions annually.
The medical and recreational use of marijuana should be legal across all 50 states. Medical marijuana has been used to help so many people with health related issues. In almost all cases medical marijuana is safer than using alcohol and prescription drugs. Marijuana is also less harmful than smoking cigarettes. Each year the courts have a tremendous amount of marijuana related cases which cost them money that they could be using to help try and solve other crimes. Prisons are just overpopulated and it is costing taxpayers money to keep people who are incarcerated for petty marijuana arrests. Marijuana can also help boost the economy by bringing jobs and also benefiting everyone by putting the tax on marijuana towards government programs. On
Marijuana also known as cannabis is a green plat that grows almost anywhere. Even though it carries a bad name for itself, it has many uses that can benefit our society today. Today, cannabis can be eaten, smoked, or used to make clothes and other resources. Cannabis can be sold in stores to create revenue for the state, it can also help the people medically. There are many uses for marijuana that can benefit our society today for the better, either economically, socially and medically.
As you know, Marijuana is the most frequently used illegal drug in the U.S causing a huge controversy in today’s society. I think that in some ways not legalizing marijuana could hurt us and our country. I know that you, as a member of the CALM, feel very strongly on your opinion of legalizing marijuana. The CALM does make very convincing arguments about crime, youth, and health with the use of marijuana. While some of these arguments can be persuasive to many, I think that my following propositions on crime, health, and medicinal marijuana also provide a swaying argument.
