Great post! I really liked the proven uses for CBD that you included in there.
Listen to what the guy has to say at 4:10. I believe this, along with the Pharmeceutical, Tobacco, Liquor, and Paper industries efforts to keep it that way are why our beloved MJ is illegal. But be positive, change is happening. There are now 12 states that have approved MMJ, more are sure to follow. And what will follow that willl hopefully be a change in federal law that confilcts with the state laws.

Yes that's right, it will be incredibly difficult to battle huge powerful corporations like that!

DEA, "Gotcha, we've got a poor neighborhood of hood-toughies we can target."), and the pro-pot activists.

You are so right about this. And not that many people know about it. The government is using prison labor, and swap labor for free. In swap you even have to pay them just so you can work for free! And they are laying off city, and state workers and using using these guys in place of them wherever they can. Pretty sick shit.
