This War on drugs is an insane war. If you just looked at it logically for 2 seconds, you would see that the vast majority of the people now know that A) there are some uses medically for the plant. If you ask, most people will answer glaucoma, aids and cancer with maybe a few saying MS or pain treatment. The vast majority of the people know that you can make paper,rope and cloth out of the fibre. How can any government expect to keep such a useful plant illegal. Individuals will be happy to go far out of their way to make sure the government never has the chance to wipe out this plant. Government folks WAKE UP! How much poison was put on the plants in other countries which ended up harming US citizens? This is a plant. All it takes is one tiny seed eaten by a bird and transporting it to another district, to start it growing again. There are not enough thugs the government can round up to pull up these plants (and no way of controlling the thugs from stealing some of it) to put a dent in the ferrel hemp and ditchweed. What makes them think that inteligent individuals would not continue to hound them in the govenments futile (and extremely wasteful) efforts at erradication. The people have to keep hounding them with simple questions like "Why are you wasting billions of dollars a year on this when we could use the money for much better things?" one last word, plants can multiply on a logrithmic scale but the thugs to tear out the plants are more linear and over time will go into decline.
