The big corporations ensure that we will likely remain in a recession for a very long time. The government is not doing much to counter this. Imagine you have the power to put an end to all the financial hardship of your country and yet you choose not to do so. What kind of person would that make you? What if you knew that certain practices were best left unused and yet did nothing? What if you knew that certain unnecessary laws were actually preventing a big economic boom? It is every American's responsibility to do what they can legally to make a living and stay afloat financially. In order to pay the bills, you must make more money than you owe and then pay those debts. But what if the only way to do so was to stop doing what you have been for a very long time? What if your policies and strategies were actually inhibiting your ability to pay your bills? You would suffer financially, would you not? Why doesn't the government realize this? Because the big corporations pad their wallets while the rest of us suffer. The big oil and lumber companies, which are the biggest sources of pollution and environmental crises on the planet, will do what they can to prevent sources such as hydrogen, wind, and solar power to eliminate the pollution caused by fossil fuel usage, or products such as hemp to make paper and clothes from taking away their profits. They are paying our politicians to keep these things from taking off to prevent their own pockets from not taking in as much money. Corporate greed is the root of American hardship.
Let me dwell on the topic of hemp for a little bit. Many of you think you know about the dangers of marijuana usage. But how many are truly verse in the subject? We all know about the prohibition of alcohol. Alcohol was proven to be a big cause of lacking productivity in the workforce. People got drunk and did not do their jobs as well. It also damages the liver, leads to violence and car accidents and can actually kill people. I can totally understand and justify the prohibition of alcohol. Yet nobody that is against marijuana ever seems to pay attention to how harmful the legal drug of alcohol is. Why is that? Why do we only care about the plant that grows out of the ground and makes people giggle uncontrollably but not the unnatural alcoholic products that have caused many deaths and injuries yet remains perfectly legal? Cannabis/hemp is the #1 cash crop in the United States and would provide our government with over 1 BILLION dollars of tax revenue if legalized. So why is it illegal? It is illegal because it's non-drug related use would impact the lumber and oil industries. It is a far cheaper source of fuel, is much cheaper for making paper, and works great for making rope and clothing for much cheaper than most other sources. People do not die from using hemp products any more than they do from not getting enough sleep. The propaganda needs to stop, and the government needs to realize that people will use illegal substances more often than readily available legal products. In countries where drugs are legal, guess how many people are in jail for dealing? Guess how many people are addicted? Guess how many people are heavy users? If you do the research, you will see that these places are not known for drug abuse. They are known for having a very low percentage of moderate-to-heavy users. Nobody is in jail for their use or sale. Not to mention there is no risk of the drugs being laced with dangerous chemicals since they are regulated and ensured to be safe. It is a plant. It grows out of the ground. This goes for the coca plant (cocaine) and many other "drugs" that are not dangerous until humans mess with them. Marijuana is far safer and definitely should not be illegal as it is not nearly as likely to lead to death as substances such as LSD, PCP, or similar drugs. It should just have an age limit like alcohol and cigarettes. Before you know it, no more recession, and millions if not billions of our tax dollars would no longer be wasted on possession or sale of marijuana. Imagine that. Simple solution!
