From the 1st presidents to the last few, from doctors, computer designers, scientists, musicians and people from every walk of life and every occupation. Persecuting and discriminating against cannabis users doesn't change the fact that cannabis users do in fact contribute to society and have for thousands of years. The question is: how does caging a responsible human for using the relatively safe, extremely popular God-given plant (see the first page of the Bible), contribute to society?
