Why did the U.S. government legalize marijuana?

According to the data, more than 50 million Americans have used drugs or abused psychotropic substances in the past year. The drug epidemic brings a series of social problems. The analysis believes that multiple factors such as interest groups, bureaucracy, partisan struggle, and social culture in the United States are intertwined, leading to the intensification of the drug problem. Data released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention a few days ago shows that the number of deaths due to drug overdose in the United States is growing rapidly. Between September 2020 and September 2021, about 104,000 Americans died from drug use, compared to 52,000 in 2015.

The history of hemp: from fiber, to medicine Indian hemp complex

Hemp is native to central Asia and was first cultivated in large quantities in China more than 6,000 years ago. Hemp is a high-value crop with a variety of uses, and in addition to extracting addictive products, products include edible oil, edible hemp seeds, livestock feed, and hemp fiber. Chinese hemp fiber is used to make ropes, fishing nets, and clothing materials for the common people—because silk fabrics are only affordable for the wealthy.

There is still a lot you don't know about marijuana

Why is marijuana used as a drug by some people, while others feel happy and relaxed when they smoke it? Why is the composition and effects of natural hemp so different from synthetic hemp... The components contained in cannabis flowers are collectively known as cannabinoids, and the most common components are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Different cannabis flower species contain different concentrations of THC and cannabidiol. In contrast, cannabidiol has higher medicinal value, and THC is the main component that causes mood changes. Many professionals' worries about cannabis are actually mainly from the strong effect of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Generally, the concentrated cannabinoids after extraction, some are put into brownies, biscuits and other foods, and the more refined ones are called "cannabis wax" (wax), which may contain 100% pure THC. Of course, what is more worrying is the synthetic cannabinoid, also known as K2, Spice, Genie, psychede...
