re: Let's Talk War on Drugs

Why is marijuana considered a schedule 1 drug? Because many of our elected officials have been bribed with campaign donations. Who would bribe our elected officials for this purpose? Many corporations have an interest in keeping marijuana illegal for various reasons. The private prison industry wants to incarcerate more people for profit. The pharmaceutical industry wants people to buy their drugs instead of a natural substance that can be grown anywhere. The timber, cotton and energy industries want to prevent hemp from replacing their products. The main cause of the war on drugs is BRIBERY, also known as campaign donations and lobbying.
