You don’t think the cotton and tobacco industries saw disaster looming in marijuana/hemp remaining legal?

Nope. I think the issue of hemp vs. cotton is liberal propaganda. Hemp fiber is more course than cotton so there's not much demand for it in clothing. Cotton and other fibers, even man made textiles, are superior for making comfortable clothing. The market place rules. Pro-drug legalizers have seized upon using hemp products in order to further their agenda for getting high.

Tobacco: I think that most tobacco companies would be hesitant to touch smoked marijuana as a product. With tobacco they're been traditionally insulated from lawsuits, although that's changed. With pot anything goes. I bet there's lawyers licking their chops waiting for some state to legalize it. That's probably only why it's still illegal, but decriminalized. As soon as it becomes a legitimate, legalized product then lawsuits will fly.

This is going to be hard to explain to you if you're not a religious person or if you've never smoked pot, but here is why it's dangerous to society: Getting high simulates spirituality. It's a counterfeit of higher consciousness. A lie. As a consequence those who smoke it believe they are more aware, more spiritual, more in tune with creation. They are poisoning their brains. That's why the left always associates itself with marijuana. It's because they are lacking in morals and Godliness. They have no Gods but themselves but they still want to feel spiritual. And when people smoke pot they think they don't need God, his rules, his laws, his way. And they are lost.

This is very well said.

Is there anything you don’t think is liberal propaganda? My point about the tobacco industry is why smoke tobacco when you can smoke marijuana?

Since we still have no deaths attributed to smoking marijuana, what will the lawsuits be about?

I am both religious and have smoked twice. The first time it just put me to sleep, the second time we laughed at things that were in retrospect not that funny. I didn’t experience any increased feelings of spirituality. Of the people I know who smoke, it does not seem to be in order to bring in a false spirituality. It is used very similar to alcohol, either as part of social gatherings or relaxing at the end of the day.

The more appropriate drug for what you are describing would be ‘shrooms. Johns Hopkins did a study of having people take ‘shrooms for the first time and most who did rated it the single most spiritual experience of their lives. I know fewer people who have taken ‘shrooms on a regular basis, but the ones I do are ones I would characterize as spiritually lost especially in comparison to those who smoke weed.
