Marijuana

(Marijuana and the myths behind it)

Marijuana and the real reason it was outlawed. Marijuana was a profitable and viable business in American for the Indigenous people. The primary use was for marijuana was to make cloth, rope, paper and medicines but it can also be used to make fuel, food, soap, sails, shoes, furniture, plastics, lotions, ointments and oil for lights/lighting. Marijuana has over 50,000 commercial uses. Marijuana makes a better quality paper than trees and this was hurting the tree cutting business, which is the real reason it was outlawed. The Native Americans are now looking at growing marijuana in addition to their casinos, as a business. Marijuana is now legal in four states and legal for medical use in 23 states.
