Paper, Tobacco and Alcohol lobbyists prevent the legalization of marijuana and hemp products. They stifle industry for their own gain!
they're anti-capitalists.
Yes, and the depiction in the media of people who use marijuana and propose using hemp have been overwhelming negative in the past 50 years. Unbelievable.

"As the only remaining developed nation in which the production of industrial hemp is not permitted, the United States is not only missing out on a large – and growing – global market, but limiting the livelihoods of farmers, processors and fabricators." This is very very true and the citizens of the United States need to stop and take notice.
