Do you really think big pharma will allow a naturally occurring drug to compete with their profit margins? Then the oil industry with their by products being replaced by something anyone can grow, the cotton industry .... the list goes on and on ..... there is a good reason why medical grown and sold cannabis is so expensive, part of it is crop failures that actually produce too much THC for the strict "medical" levels that could still be used for other purposes like clothing etc, but the rules say no ..... the $$ will always call the shots no matter what style of govt runs the country ....

No, never intimated that, just pointed out what a great and useful plant it is. Profit growth is all that interests the corporate world and political system, good health is the last of their aims, good health would reduce the pharmaceutical industries massive profits. With covid they are raking in billions from vaccines and throw away protection gear and more useless drugs they pump into people. Plus many are getting covid and hospitalised even after they are vaccinated, some are dying and I read lately that now there are more vaccinated people in hospital than unvaccinated. Which is no different from other viral vaccinations, the flue vaccine has done nothing to inhibit people catching the flu and yet people turn up year after year to get their useless jab. I haven't had a cold or flu for more than 4 decades, yet work in places where the flu is rampant and that is all down to my diet and lifestyle. Before I changed, got every cold and flu that came along and nothing helped, but still had the vaccines and suffered for well over a month after the first one and still have days when I'm a bit lethargic. With just one and a half lungs, you need to be cautious.
Not one approach by politicians makes logical sense to covid or anything else, the number of studies showing CBD cannabis stops covid from infecting people is many and yet not one word of support for it or anything else it's useful for. It requires little water unlike cotton, it will grow on most land, unlike cotton. We could also use wild radish seed for oil to power diesels, but they ignore that and wild radish has one of the highest percentage of oil content there is close to 50% oil content in a plant that grows in very rocky or sandy ground and need no nutritional help or much water. I've crushed wild radish seeds just to check its oil and was amazed at how much came out and how good it was to put in the engines, as it had very little fats in it and made superb biodiesel. Whilst the cooking oils they flog provide less than 30% oil and only one or two are suitable for human consumption. The majority of fast food is cooked in cotton seed oil, which is pretty toxic and shouldn't be used in cooking. But making people sick is a profit growth dream for the pharmaceutical industry, they don't want to fix people, just keep them taking their useless products.
We have a medical cannabis farm a few klms from us, it's all covered and enclosed with high fences around it and they are growing it all year round in controlled surroundings. It covers at least 5 acres and from what I'm told they've had to throw away a lot of the production, because governments have restricted the amount they can sell on the open market. I'd put that down to pressure from the pharmaceutical industry, who give large donations to both major parties and using cannabis would take away their power and control as everyone could grow and use it.
Nothing logical or rational about our world today, just profit growth insanity at the expense of the people and future. As for good health, preventive medicine which actually works, is never discussed, just symptomatic medicine which never works as you have to treat the cause, rather than the symptoms to achieve good health outcomes.
