Make it a taxable item. It's a new source of state income and it cuts down on people in jail for possession for pot. Seems like a win-win.
Yeah but then we would have to legalize hemp, and what would DuPont do then!?
Seriously, the main reason pot is illegal is due to a combination of Hemp's many many uses and just flat out racism. It has nothing to do with intoxication or addictiveness levels, because alcohol is by far worse on both fronts. I have heard of death by alcohol poisoning, but never from THC poisoning.
