The so-called "sick" and the so-called "doctors" are people who should really be in a private prison somewhere but in reality are instead getting high. There is no shortage of medical marijuana fraud, and this "medical marijuana" is probably being sold to school children and is poisoning their bodies. Instead of promoting a robust, productive, and innovative industry that can bring many jobs, the government is promoting sin, hooliganism, and laziness.
Marijuana was outlawed largely due to racism and corporate gain. The latter is why some corporations don't want hemp being grown for industrial uses. It would cut the profits in their industries.
Hemp can be used for everything from oil, to paper, to clothing.
If you say so. However, there's a world of difference between a drunkard and someone who enjoys a beer after work or a glass of wine with a meal.
Consider the source. Find me a rational post from said poster and you've found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, being guarded by a leprechaun riding on a Unicorn.
Why is growing medical marijuana more legal than growing marijuana for industrial applications?The so-called "sick" and the so-called "doctors" are people who should really be in a private prison somewhere but in reality are instead getting high. There is no shortage of medical marijuana fraud, and this "medical marijuana" is probably being sold to school children and is poisoning their bodies.

Firstly, marijuana itself has little use for industrial applications and much more use of it due to its medicinal properties. I think you might have meant hemp should be made more legal, which I would agree.
Now hemp certainly has a broad range of industrial uses. Let's not confuse the two, because although they are in the same species of plant, they both are very different from each other in terms of medicinal properties.
Marijuana and hemp are different varieties of the same species of plant, Cannabis sativa L. There are different varieties of Cannabis, just as Chihuahuas and wolves are different breeds of Canis lupus. They are scientifically different and cultivated in different ways.
Marijuana is the flowering tops and leaves of psychoactive varieties of Cannabis that are grown for their high THC content.
It is used legally in some states, excluding Wisconsin, for medical reasons, and is used for recreational purposes as an illegal drug.
Unlike hemp, marijuana has a high THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol) content and a low CBD (cannabidiol) content. CBD blocks the psychoactive effect of THC in the nervous system. That means in all plants in the Cannabis family, there is a chemical that will induce a psychoactive effect and another that will block it. The illegal drug is cultivated to have a THC content of anywhere from 3 percent to 22 percent. The ratio of CBD to THC is less than one.
Hemp, or industrial hemp, is a cultivated, low-THC variety of Cannabis. It is grown for its seeds, oil and fiber.
And the "so-called sick" and "so-called doctors" are in fact getting more benefits from cannabis than just getting high. The higher CBD strains are used in a wide variety of medical conditions ranging from pain, asthma, wasting syndrome, to autism and cancer treatments. There is no invalidating cannabis and its research from all the medicinal properties that it holds in treating numerous medical conditions.
To that, it is illegal for any dispensary to have cannabis "being sold to school children", or any children under the age of 21.
It's apparent that your facts on cannabis may be a bit misguided, especially suggesting that it's a "sin" and putting religion into the mix. Marijuana has been used as a medicinal herb since ancient times and among religious sects throughout Europe; it was described in a Chinese medical reference traditionally considered to date from 2737 B.C. Its use spread from China to India and then to north Africa and reached Europe at least as early as A.D. 500.
Let's try to keep focus on the complexities that we already have surrounding cannabis, without having to put yet another disparaging and stigmatized slant on this natural plant that is currently helping to alleviate the suffering of millions of people with medical conditions worldwide.

Why you ask?? Because it never should've been outlawed in the first place. Certain industries don't want the competition that hemp would pose.
Oil industry
Textile Industry
Plastics industry
Lumber industry
Medical Industry...

I love when people try to play the morality angle not even knowing that its been used spiritually and any many religions for thousands of years
