HOWEVER, on the other side of the rainbow there are also people growing it to have the highest THC content period. Just for people to get high out their mind. I myself do not believe this should be illegal to posses or grow. Recently the hallucinogenics are now coming in to light for some treatments of depression. But again there are always those that will abuse it. I will take marijuana and mushrooms on the streets over heroin, fentanyl, and oxycotin any day.
I'm not sure that having a preference for marijuana and mushrooms over heroin, fentanyl, or oxycodone is a positive. That's almost like being allowed to choose your method of execution - ideally one should not desire any of these substances.
