Poll

According to a 1999 Gallup poll, 73% of Americans are in favor of "making marijuana legally available for doctors to prescribe in order to reduce pain and suffering." In a 2004 poll commissioned by AARP, 72% of Americans ages 45 and older thought marijuana should be legal for medicinal purposes if recommended by a doctor. Also, since 1996, voters in eight states plus the District of Columbia have passed favorable medical marijuana ballot initiatives.

Why was Marijuana ever made illegal in the United States?

Many people assume that marijuana was made illegal through some kind of process involving scientific, medical, and government hearings; that it was to protect the citizens from what was determined to be a dangerous drug.

The actual story shows a much different picture. Those who voted on the legal fate of this plant never had the facts, but were dependent on information supplied by those who had a specific agenda to deceive lawmakers. You’ll see below that the very first federal vote to prohibit marijuana was based entirely on a documented lie on the floor of the Senate.

You’ll also see that the history of marijuana’s criminalization is filled with:

* Racism
* Fear
* Protection of Corporate Profits
* Yellow Journalism
* Ignorant, Incompetent, and/or Corrupt Legislators
* Personal Career Advancement and Greed

These are the actual reasons marijuana is illegal.

Grow Tips - Interaction With Plants

It is of the utmost importance that you have physical interaction with ALL of your plants. So many times we are called out on an emergency such as a spider mite infestation and find that the plants have not had any interaction once seated in the bloom room. Preen your plants, trim off dying leaves, thoroughly check EVERY plant multiple times a week. If you do not, and you get an infestation, you will be very sorry. Infestations of gardens that have grown out of control are FAR worse than gardens that are under complete control.
