Sooooo... What's the big deal? Why are people so afraid? I mean c'mon. MJ's a successful prescribed drug to many many people.

I mean come on! In 1619 Virginia passed a law requiring farmers to grow hemp. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson even grew.

1906 - The FDA is formed.

When the FDA was formed they pretty much cracked down on coc*ine and her*ine and opi*tes, because people were self destructing themselves. In addition those drugs were put in thousands of products people used every day! Those drugs became prescription only for a while.

1937 - There was an actual Marijuana Tax Act!

It wasn't until 1970 that Marijuana was actually made illegal! They said it's a Schedule 1 drug which is only reserved for the most dangerous drugs that have no medical use.

CRAZY!
