First we'll start with all the negative information I was able to find. Marijuana is a very slow acting drug. At the actual time of the "high," only a half of one percent of the THC is actually going to the user's brain. This is why it is said to have no withdrawal symptoms. It seems like a good thing on the surface, but the reason for this is because marijuana is fat-soluble. This means it is stored in your fat cells rather than flo

These are all of the medical benefits that I could come up with. However, there are many other benefits that come from the left over parts of the plant cannabis sativa. Until 1820, eighty percent of all textiles, and fabrics were made from hemp. This includes tents, beds, sheets, linen, rugs, drapes, quilts, towels, diapers, and even our flag. The benefits of this are that hemp is softer, warmer, more water absorbent, has three times the strength, and is overall more durable than cotton. Another benefit is that over fifty percent of all the chemicals used in the US today go into the production of cotton. Hemp needs no chemicals to grow and has very few weed and insect enemies. Not to mention that in the olden days, all sails, rigging, anchor ropes, cargo and fishing nets used to be made from hemp. Paper made from hemp is very tough. It can last fifty to a hundred times longer than the paper made today, is a lot cheaper to make and we won't waste half as many trees.

Hemp can also be used to make paints and varnishes. It makes very good lighting oil, only surpassed by whale oil. It is believed that ninety percent of all fossil fuels could be replaced with things such as cannabis, waste paper, and other such things. Biomasses like cannabis can be converted to methane, a type of gasoline, at a fraction of the cost. The mandated use could end acid rain and reverse the Greenhouse Effect. Hemp seeds are actually highly nutritious. They contain the highest amount of essential fatty acids in the entire plant kingdom. Plus they are of the highest quality in terms of protein. Birds were examined while searching for seeds, and it was found that they would pick out the hemp seeds before all others. When these birds were further researched, they were found to live longer than those birds without the hemp seed in their diets. And a final benefit is that hemp seeds are very effective bait when you go fishing. They have been the bait of choice in Europe for years and years to come. Fish come thrashing for the hemp seeds and then get caught on the hooks. No other bait has been proven to be more effective.
