There's really no need to theorize about where marijuana comes from to decide if it's beneficial... there are plenty of facts to support that.
America has a rich history with marijuana.
During the 1760's in the American colonies, you could be jailed for not growing hemp because it was seen as a main way to become economically independent from Britian.
Hemp was used as legal tender in the Americas from 1630 throught the 1800's.
George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both grew hemp on their plantations... most suspect that they smoked it too.
In 1936, Popular Mechanics magazine hailed the invention of a new machine that removed the fiber from hemp, and predicted that hemp would, once again, be the world's largest cash crop.
...so why was hemp outlawed in 1937?
Titan, I kinda suspected that you were a fairy
