Hemp is the most remarkable natural plant in the world. It can be made into clothing, food, apparel, paper, toiletries, and scores of other things we take for granted. Hemp also matures in 4 months. This means a farmer gets 3 yields per year. This in turn means a farmer will make, at the very least, 3 times as much money over the typical annual yield such as wheat, corn, or soy.
There are over 100 different varieties of hemp of which only a mere few have a THC level to get a person high. Legalize all the non-toxic hemp and the toxic hemp will then follow suit.
Stop trying to make marijuana legal. It's like saying I have the right to drive drunk. Focus on what is good about the plant first, and then the rest will follow.

This makes some sense to me, if the plant had another reason to be legal other than just getting someone high, then congress might feel more obligated to act on it
