'Efficacious' means effective, or productive as regards the desired effect. This is particularly concerned with cannabis biomass .

Cannabis is versatile because it has so many uses. It's uses can be traced back to thousands of years before Christ.

PRODUCTS WHICH CAN BE MADE WITH OR FROM CANNABIS

medicine, fuel, paper, food, rope, maps, clothes, nets, lace, soap, sails, shoes, plastics, explosives, caulking, fiberboard, paint, sealant, methanol, gasoline, fibre for fuel, bricks, charcoal, auto bodies, packing mass, lubricants, oil for lighting, oil for fuel, oil for lights, animal food, furniture, mats, varnish, lotions, ointments, lacquer, salad dressings....

There are an estimated 50,000 commercial uses. Until about 100 years ago almost all the world's bibles maps, sails, clothes and books were made out of cannabis. Much of the world's population has survived by eating hemp seed, cooked into a porridge called 'gruel'.

They gave a good plant a bad name

I've suffered from insomnia and O.C.D for several years and I've been through all kinds of treatments, taken all types of sleeping pills but nothing worked. then one day my doctor advise me to try cannabis and I tried it, It works perfect and It's not addictive. The pills I used to take never worked and It made me feel awful the next day, i couldn't study or go to work, it was driving me insane. Now all I do is smoke a little joint before going to bed and I sleep like a baby and wake up fine the next day, happy again. Now I do not smoke for recreational purposes but I still think alcohol, pills have killed/is still killing a lot of people around the world. of course if they should legalize it they should make some rules but it would certainly save a lot of people and would defnitely help the economy.

not only cannabis but everything should be reconsidered such as other drugs prohibitions and like the fuels we're burning wich cannabis can replace them.. It's a weird world.. Let's think about using the world in the most natural way we can. Otherwise the future of all life (mostly mammals) on this planet is at risk..

I would like some marijuana clothing so it would resist a lot of years, and i want to smoke so i can " calm the pain " from the stress of day routine and to be able to concentrate in work that i do.

If alcohol is legally regulated marijuana should be too. If you take the criminal element away marijuana use will be much safer & the USA will make money on taxes/fees.

cannabis causes less harm that alcohol and tobacco so i and many others see no reason for it to be illegal

Cannabis laws are outdated and baseless. There are millions of Americans who use cannabis responsibly but the current laws often force them to associate with some unsavory people to purchase it. I have seen countless people robbed or put in other dangerous situations just trying to purchase a bag of weed so they could go home and relax with a joint.

Cannabis is used medicinally for a number of reasons. It can relieve pain from serious illnesses like cancer, and can also relieve anxiety and other minor problems. Cannabis is far less dangerous than cigarettes or alcohol, yet these drugs are legal. Many studies show that teenagers have more difficulty purchasing cigarettes or alcohol than they have purchasing cannabis. Legalization of cannabis will produce tax revenue for the states and federal government and will eliminate the legal problems for millions of productive, politically active Americans who enjoy using cannabis.

This is but one voice, one petition for the legalization of cannabis: I think it is time, as individuals and as a first world nation, that we recognize not only the difference in strains of this plant, but its sustainability and potential to revolutionize our chaotic world. I am 100% for the legalization of Cannabis and in my humble opinion, this piece of legislation is long overdue. It makes more sense and cents in terms of sustainability (and not to mention profitability) to legalize this wonder plant. Whereas a tree takes a minimum of 24 years to mature for harvest, cannabis is an annual crop. There are more uses and products that can be made from cannabis than trees. Bear in mind these are just a couple examples. There are thousands more!! We have only to look at our past, the history of other civilizations and the wreckage we are doing to our planet to make an educated decision in regards to cannabis' legalization. We have no time to waste. Our world is waiting!!!

It makes me so angry the puritans in this world want to dictate how each person lives their lives. Until cannabis prohibition ends our world will continue to deteriorate and every living creature will suffer. Prohibitionists make me sick, I hope they all get cancer and die.

If cannabis were legal the people that have been oppressed for so long will once again feel like they belong and will put all there efforts into making the world a better place. Instead we send them to jail and make them hate everyone. It' sthe only logical thing to do. Prohibitionists need to mind their own business and let humans be humans not slaves.

least harmful substance on the planet alcohol is far more medically reprehensible

its a relatively harmless plant that was illegalized in the first part largly on raceist racist reasons. and its not fair that good hardworking people get locked up or on probation for a weed... its just ridiculous

let the stoner's of the nation, heal our countries debt. the country use to make fun of stoner's calling us stupid, useless, lazy, and chemically dependant. when our so called "drug abuse" could be the one thing to bring this country out of it's outstanding debt.

so my children's children don't half to suffer living in a country where a born citizen has such little chance of succeeding in life. and so i can smoke it, and grow it, further stimulating the economy in a legal way.

I don't understand how alcohol can be legal but pot isn't???? Pot grows natural and has a lot of benefits to it as well. What are the benefits of alcohol????? If the government legalized pot our economy would benefit greatly. I am more afraid of man made drugs, alcohol included than I am a little bit of pot. I think our tax dollars are being wasted.

I believe it would help the economy in many ways.

I think everyone should sign this petition. Anyone with a problem against cannabis or its effects is more than likely judging it entirely on preconceived notions giving no thought whatsoever to the individual or their rights.

I hate the thought of living in a world with a system of government that is so hypocritical to allow the sale and distribution of alcohol and tobacco and turn its head to marijuana based on no concrete evidence of physical damage. Talk about picking your battles.

it's important to Legalize Mariujana I belive it could even help bring our nation out of this recession.

It could Open Jobs for people around the country farmers and even Ordinary people could thrive off of billon dollar industry that Marijuana has already proven it could be.

I wish cannabis well in this, perhaps, new era.

To reduce the petrol/chemical pollution on this planet. To create a sustainable living for millions. To clean the air of pollutants and release pure O2. To condition the soil and stabilize hillside and mountain slopes devastated by the timber industry. To create sustainable habitats for a myriad of animals.
