I would think the rulers of planet Earth are ripe in their ability to sway entire populations while they 'populations' look the other way. They own everything even the so called Presidents.

I'm glad you got that off your chest.

There is medical value in weed. Hmmm. There is medical value in heroin, coc aine, lsd, morphine, howd that work out?

It is called mind control. Every single drug you mentioned became popular on the street after it was tried on the military.
And , you did not mention
Medicine for Dumb Animals
Tranquilizers for Horses and Cows

Weed has been taboo for much longer than either Bush administration. The Reefer Madness movies from the 1920's produced by the government show that, and are comic gold by the way.

The war on drugs has been a profitable situation for many generations. I can see Trump looking at the marijuana businesses and saying wow, taxes from their could pay for my wall.

I see decriminalization within 6 years with the state's making any decisions from there. Mexico should see big dollars from exporting the green crop into states that allow recreational use. This would help their stagnant economy and fill the Federal coffers, and the shelves at local dispensaries. But no, can't blame the Bush dynasty for this when it goes way back

Well morphine and diacetyl morphine, are pretty much the same, except diamorphine is about 3 times more potent. But morphine is used quite extensively and without issue and heroin is used in some palliative care facilities.

Cocaine was used quite extensively as a local anaesthetic till less addictive alternatives were introduced.

Lysergic Acid Diethylamide 25 was only sparingly tested and to good results. But the euphoria was deemed a negative aspect, so they determined a way to increase serotonin without the synergistic pleasurable effects and created SSRIs. And instead of serotonin being created, they discovered that inhibiting the reuptake had a similar outcome, but now people are taking mind altering things every day for years, to varied negative outcomes and none of the 'fresh new start' the afterglow of a sufficient dose of psychedelics provide.

What was your point about weed again?

No blaming only the Bush Dynasty, I chose them as a reference point in my post. I know it goes back further.

Funny how this non-political story about a music celebrity and his views on a popular topic was coerced by the OP by their political taint.

Politards. The lot of ya.
