To me, the change in cannabis laws is THE watershed to begin to change humankind's relationship to the earth in regard to energy sources, consumption and on and on.
Hemp cars, hemp fuel, hemp insulation - moving toward eco-friendly products involving issues of energy MUST include legalization of hemp and "marijuana."
The only people who want cannabis to be illegal are those who will take an economic hit from the same.. i.e. the alcoholic bev. industry, the cotton industry, the petrol industry... THEY are the ones (including European concerns) who stand to lose something.
Everyone else stands to gain by overturning the racist law that is cannabis prohibition.
