two different crops. hemp doesn't smoke very well, although i have known people to smoke it in a pinch. for sure there would be two different farms, two different farmers and two different industries based on hemp and marijuana.

The problem that you dont understand is that Marijuana grows on the female version of the hemp plant. You can't have one without the other.
hemp = male plant marijuana = female plant

the number of industries for just hemp will grow?

i meant the number of industries already in place will experience a large growth just from hemp industries. I've already mentioned it a bunch. If you really think that FARM/TEXTILES/TRUCKING/RETAIL wont benefit from AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS, PRODUCED IN AMERICA, SHIPPED IN AMERICA AND EXPORTED FROM AMERICA then your just blind.
If you think America can't benefit from a RENEWABLE and very potent alternative fuel then your just blind.

not only saving money but... what? the money saved by not pursuing, prosecuting, and jailing marijuana offenders alone might be worth it? of course they will save tons of cash. think about how many people are in jail who either were convicted of possession, possession with the intent to distribute or distribution. if you let them out and stop prosecuting new offenders you would eliminate the over-crowding of the jails immediately. not only that, but since they would not be in with other criminals, they would not learn from them and thereby we would not be producing better criminals. think about it: a marijuana convict is in with a burglar for 3 years. the burglar is bound to be sharing his secrets to the marijuana convict and when the MJ convict gets released he has a whole new skillset and might use that knowledge to commit more crimes. you eliminate that completely by not jailing the person in the first place.

i am not convinced that legalizing MJ would carry us far enough to save the economy. there are many other things that need to happen in addition to the new tax.

The groundwork is laid
its just all propaganda. everyone that has bad things to say against marijuana is NOT YOUR FAULT. its the goverments. its 70 years and 3 or 4 generations of smear campaign.
I understand. I Really do. Simple minded folks have no problem moving with the herd....Even if they really are being boarded onto a train to Auschwitz
