Why Are Marijuana and Hemp Illegal?

The thing that eats away at most marijuana support seems to be the fact that, after decades of research, the ability of the active constituents found within cannabis (THC, Cannabinol) to completely destroy cancer cells in the lab is firmly established in scientific literature.

For example, here is a link to a molecular biologist explains how THC kills cancer cells. If you do a google search for scholarly peer-reviewed studies on cannabis and its ability to fight cancer, you will find hundreds of publications.

Not only does cannabis have the ability to destroy cancer cells (without heating the plant; when you do this you change its chemical composition and lose many of its medicinal benefits), it also has a wide array of other healing potentials that have been seen to treat epilepsy, depression, Chron’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and many more.
