What is really sad to me is why cannabis is illegal in the first place. I am forced to do research papers in my Paramedic class, so I picked Cannabis as a topic.

The plant is the cannabis plant. It’s not a ‘marijuana’ plant. That’s like speaking english but using a single foreign word instead of whatever english word you should be using.
