Many people, medical cannabis users in particular, ask themselves and
others, why is the use of cannabis illegal in the United States and
other countries?
The answer is not as complex as you might imagine. The illegality is
based on several factors.

Hempseed oil powered the first diesel engine. The powerful petroleum
industry does not want farmers to grow their own fuel.

Hemp cloth is better in many ways than cotton. The powerful cotton
industry does not want the competition. Hemp makes better paper and
other wood substitutes.

The powerful timber industry does not want the competition of a plant
that can produce as much as four times the amount of paper mill than
pinetrees do.

Cannabis is an excellent medicine for many ailments.The pharmaceutical
and medical professions do not want patients to grow their own
medicine which is easily possible.

The final reason is really bizarre. It is well known that a person can
get a euphoria high or stoned from an overdose of marijuana. This is
somewhat like alcoholic inebriation but certainly not as dangerous.

It is not a harmful drug like morphine, alcohol or even aspirin, but
highly beneficial.
